The Winning Attitude: A Reaction Paper

(Quote about attitude) The book entitled The Winning Attitude by John
C. Maxwell is about how attitude plays an important role in your life. Our
attitude is vital in achieving the success in life that we yearn for.
The book is divided into four sections focusing on different sections on
how to assess and improve your attitude. The first section of the book refers to
The Consideration of Your Attitude, which tells us about attitude and its
importance. Chapter 3 of this section discussed about the seven attitude
axioms which includes your attitude as one thing which makes a difference
between your success and failure. The second section revolves on The
Construction of Your Attitude, which discusses how attitude grows, the factors
which are affecting its growth, and identified mistakes which were made in
building attitude. The third section, The Crashing of Your Attitude, deliberates
when your attitude is going to the wrong directions and its effects which often
lead to failure. The last section, The Changing of Your Attitude, Maxwell
discusses the important points in your attitude that needs to be changed.
Through this, one can reconstruct his/her attitude for the better good to be
successful in life.
I am sure many of you have already heard how important attitude is to
your lives. This book has reminded me to reflect on my attitude, if whether or
not, it is a success. Every section, starting from the first one is linked to the
next one providing you with an outline through which each section paves a way
for the next for you to be provided with the knowledge on how you can piece
together your attitude. This book has inspired to improve my attitude more and
has made its point that every persons success is determined by his/her
attitude.

To sum everything up, this book offers us help, by any chance, to repair
and improve our broken attitudes. This weakness of our attitude is not
necessarily considered a weakness, but rather, a challenge for us to improve
and be the best that we can be. As a great philosopher once said: :
