Attitude structure
Attitudes consist of three related components:
1. An emotional component consisting of emotional reactions toward, or feelings about the attitude object. 2. A cognitive component consisting of thoughts and beliefs about the attitude object. 3. A behavioural component consisting of actions toward the attitude object.
Components of Attitude:
Affective = feelings about the attitude object. Behavioural = predisposition to act towards the attitude object in a certain way. Cognitive = beliefs about the attitude object. Any given attitude may be based in lesser or greater amounts on any of these components
Attitude
Affect Behaviour
Cognition
Broad attitudinal dispositions might have a shared genetic basis This is most likely for gut-preferences:
For example, feelings of disgust at certain smells or foods
Positive Attitude
A positive attitude allows a person to create the life they want because they are not afraid to see things as they really are and work to create their own reality.

Attitude function
Attitudes will fluctuate in order to serve our current needs. Four major functions 1. Utilitarian function - Helps person to achieve rewards and gain approval from others 2. Knowledge function - Attitudes can be used as a frame of reference for organizing the world so that it makes sense - For example, we perceive knowledge that contradicts our
views with suspicion, thus forming a negative impression of that source of information (Giner-Sorolla & Chaiken, 1997).
Attitude function
3. Ego-defensive function - Helps to cope with emotional conflicts and protect and enhance ones self-esteem. - E.g., ones job not going well, can blame colleagues or his boss, this
negative orientation towards the people he or she blames protects one from acknowledging painful truths.
4. Value-expressive function - Help to express central values and core aspects of self-concept. - For example, if you are a person who firmly believes in fair
treatment and equality towards others, youll most likely have a positive attitude towards particular political parties and a negative attitude towards others.

What is required ?
Behavior
A persons behavior is the way they act in general, especially in relation to the situation they are in or the people they are with.
Attitudes + behaviour
Part of the interest in attitudes is due to the assumption that people act in accordance with their attitudes: Companies spend ridiculous amounts of money on advertising campaigns designed to change peoples attitudes toward their products. Political parties closely monitor opinion polls to try and gauge the mood of the community and the likely outcome of elections. Do attitudes really predict behaviour?
Attitudes + behaviour
Later research confirmed the gap:
E.g., Wicker (1969) reviewed research on the attitude-behaviour link
Although the two were usually positively related, the relationship was typically small (average r = .15).
Evidence for weak relationships between attitudes and behaviour prompted 2 responses:
1. Attitudes are a load of rubbish!
2. Attitudes are related to behaviour, but the relationship is more complex

Life will give you what you attract with your thoughts. Think, act and talk negatively and your world will be negative. Think, act and talk with enthusiasm and you will attract positive results.
Yes. Conquering the world. Even that is possible, if only you would act at the right time and from the right place!
smile, please.
1. To be positive is natural.
---------------------------------------
Be cheerful. Happiness is a state of mind. If you think you are in heaven, you are. Use bright & positive language in everything you do. Think positive. It is good for you.
--------------------------------------------------- Expect the best. You will get it.
Be open.
Free your mind from prejudices. Have an open mind. Emptied, you hold. Be receptive to ideas. Be quick to listen. Be slow to respond. Perceptions differ. What is right in your view may not be that. Dont jump to conclusions. See the other persons point of view.
Have a sound sense of proportion. See the things as they are. See the big as big and the petty as petty. Wisdom is knowing what to overlook. Seeing negative is not being negative. Those who see the negative are as important as those who see the positive.
Be balanced!
Have a positive attitude towards people. Find qualities in them to like. Everyones, just everyones, life is littered with compromises, morally questionable decisions & inconsistent behaviour. Keep this in mind. People can only be as perfect as you are. Accept differences & limitations. Judge them less harshly. Dont be hostile when they slip up in tiny ways.
LEARN TO BE ANGRY
Know what to be angry about. One cannot be neutral between the right and the wrong. One so neutral is on the side of injustice. Evil multiplies when good people dont champion what is right. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Not to be angry at injustice is to be dishonest.
Be considerate, friendly & affable. Practise courtesy. Say - please. Tell the truth by all means, but with tact & kindness. Explain. Do it patiently. Accommodate the other viewpoints. Allow criticism. It is often constructive.
YOU CAN BE YOUNG JUST ONCE. BUT YOU CAN BE IMMATURE ANYTIME!
Resist the temptation to be childish. Be a grown up. Be mature. Be liberal in outlook & considerate in action. Be understanding & forgiving. Refrain from mischief. An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind. Do good to the person who has done you wrong. Let this be his punishment.
Battles are won first in the minds before they are won in the battlefield.
..
If you dont control what you think, you cant control what you do.
No great talent
without great willpower
Those who are determined and work to win will win, no matter what the destiny has ordained. The difficult can be done right away. The impossible will take only a little longer. There is nothing you cannot be, there is nothing you cannot do, and there is nothing you cannot have. All you have to do is believe in you.
Aim high.
Let no horizon be too large for you to gaze at. In the long run you hit only what you aim at. It is not failure but low aim which is crime. Aiming at an elephant & failing is more glorious than targetting a rabbit & felling it.
Never quit. No one can cheat you out of ultimate success but you.
Life is full of beginnings. A mere bend in the road is not the end of it. Have belief in yourself. Never sell yourself short. There is always some good in every situation. Look out. Sharpen your awareness to the opportunities that lie around. You will never know what can be done until you try it.
Failures are but stepping stones to success. There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. Every failure is a lesson in learning. There is no failure except in no longer trying. Failing is not bad. Staying down is.
No failure is final.
--------------------------------------Failure is a noun. The only fear it holds for us is in the meaning we give it. Define failure as giving up. Take control of it.
You are what you know. Knowledge is power. But, left unused, it has no power in it. Little is ever achieved by persons who are bookish. Indifference and unconcern make a superior & knowledgeable person average.
Where is the difference between a rut and a grave? Only in the dimensions!
Should I stay with the routine?
No! Get out. Dont be stuck in the present.
When do I act?
Act now. Follow it through. Till success.
Aim at perfection. Achieve excellence. Develop an instinct for quality. It pays. If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well. Try to do it right at the very first instance. A work done poorly must be done again. Do it in time. We are what we repeatedly do.
------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Des aur moashray ka dushman kise mante hain? A: Jo waqat par apne kamoon ko pura nahin karte hain.
Failure is not a crime. All humans are fallible. It is not terrible to be not perfect. Negative stress comes from what you tell yourself, like I must always succeed. Ive to meet everyones expectations of me. Im no good unless I do everything right. Develop strategies to cope with stress & performance anxiety. Learn to like yourself. Make a list of positive things about yourself. Feel good about who you are & how you feel.
SLOW PERFORMANCE
(Dont doze off, brother, wake up) Also, be not a pretender. Be a performer. Being busy is irrelevant. It is performance that matters. Slow performance and under-performance are bad enough. Non-performance takes the cake: it is plain theft.
Experience is what you get when you dont get what you want.- Dan Stanford
unchangeables Be ready: planned destruction may be necessary before planned construction Dare! Innovate! Dont be risk-averse. Only those who dare reach new heights. Dare to be different. Discovery follows exploration. Challenge the givens & the. Never mind that you didnt succeed.
The worst possible curse. That one is, in any language. Learn to like and enjoy the work. Any work, just any work, can be made interesting. There is always a better way of doing things. Do your work creatively. Import fun into it.
Every solution contains a problem within it. syndrome. Suppose we win? If anything can go wrong, it will.
Weighing problem!
A man carrying a baby wanted to weigh the baby in a scale. Our baby weighing machine has gone for repairs. But we can weigh the baby on the general weighing machine, the sales attendant offered. How will you do that? asked the man. Simple. We do it all the time. The father first stands on the weighing machine with the baby. Then he stands without the baby. It wont work, said the man, looking disappointed. Why? Well, you see Im the babys uncle, not his father.
Mind half-used
Look at pbms as challenges. Success often presents itself as an alluring challenge. Most problems are produced, or left unsolved, by half-used minds. Face pbms with keenness & from a new direction, each time. Dont jump to the obvious solution. (This is the tallest peak! syndrome) Challenge what is accepted. You will find a whole new world of possibilities uncovered.
If you cant go over the hill, go around it. Digging a tunnel is a clear option, if going to the other side is all that necessary. The solution often lies in identifying the solvers. Take help where needed. If something seems far too big, maybe its because youre meant to share the load with someone else. Look for solutions where you will find them. (Mullah story)
Face pbms resolutely. Gordian knots may have to be cut. Extra-ordinary pbms call for extra-ordinary solutions. Weeding out is necessary for a good crop. Sometimes it is necessary to go a long distance out of the way in order to come back a short distance correctly./
Sitting Still.
* Progress has always come from people who said it could be done. * I cant- are sad words in any language. * Whatever you can dream, you can begin. * Put passion, enthusiasm & zeal into everything you do. * Keep pushing. Its wiser than sitting aside.
The way we think towards our jobs determines how our subordinates think towards their job
Rules are for human beings, not the other way round.
Dont be rule-bound. Interpret the rules positively. Let them enable, and not inhibit, you. Precedents should be guides, not fetters. Good people follow the rules. But, it is often the unscrupulous who quote the rules. Breaking norms in order to frame better ones is an option to be explored.
DONT BE IN SELF-DOUBT.
Feel & act confident. Stand by your convictions. Be positively assertive, when you are in the right. Where speech is due, silence may be betrayal. Insist on your right to be heard & reckoned. But, be accommodative of the other point of view. Dont say yes when you want to say no .
Act by all means, but only after considering all relevant matters. Dont make decisions based on just one or two dimensions. (Many a fellow in love with a dimple) Dont act impulsively. If you have to act, act fast & decisively.
In doing a good deed take it that everything is permitted which is not prohibited.
Be performance-oriented.
If one desires a change, one must be that change before it can take place.
Anticipate change. Things can change in a day. Be alert to the first signs of change. Feel obligated to effect the change. Look at opportunities that change represents. Keep renewing yourself. Dont allow routines to become chains. Keep managing the present while managing the change.
Be physical. Be dynamic.
Take care of the body. It takes care of the mind. Physical well-being gives you stamina, both physical & mental. It makes you focussed. It makes you optimistic & confident to face the challenges of life.
The past is finished. Learn from it & let it go. The future is not even here yet. Plan for it, but do not waste time worrying about it. Live in the present. Enjoy its joys. How many crores of pleasures you have created for us, oh our Lord!
Control your emotions by your actions. Be cheerful, in order to feel cheerful. Act brave, in order to be brave. Want a facelift? Smile. Its the duty you owe others.
Work energises.
Strenuous application of effort anywhere - even on hobbies or games - provides the bonus of energy. Make as many of your actions automatic as possible. The more actions we make automatic, the more energy we have left for creative work & pbmsolving.
Be interesting. Practice liking people. Never miss the opportunity to congratulate, sympathize, or express sorrow. Be a comfortable person to be with.
Be affable. Be light to lift. Develop zero tolerance of inertia, indifference & inefficiency. Motivate, guide, enable, lead. Dont appropriate credit. But, accept responsibility. Settling personal scores through official means is mean. Walk a mile in others shoes before you say no to their request for new shoes.
Order! Order!
Absent order & regulation, what remains is chaos. Chaos is the enemy of performance. Enforce order to ensure performance. Enforcement is education. Organise. Set the right thing (or person) in the right place. Put in place proper systems. What gets measured gets done.
Why crib,
when you can think positive?(!)
Boss to the cribbing employees: Its quite simple just think positive and most of your problems will just fade away..!
Summary
Attitudes are evaluations Attitudes guide peoples behaviours sometimes Attitudes can change
but the same technique wont work the same way for all people all of the time
