ReplyDeleteYes that is true in some cases . You can't change your circumstances , but sometimes you can change how you react to them. For instant if someone died a person first reaction is to cry or get upset. In a situation like that I believe you can't control your reaction,but if someone is being rude to you, you don't have to to be rude back. You could walk away or kill them will kindness. Your attitude has a lot to do with what happens to you. If your always down and negative , guess what a lot of thing negative will happen. Maybe not physically but mentally you will think it is. If your upbeat and look for the positive even though it can be hard to find then life will so much easier. Some people can get over things if they try hard enough.It all depends on your attitude. Again if your positive and have a good mid set then well i believe you can do anything that is possible in your book, But if your negative and don't believe in your self your not going to accomplish a lot are you?
ReplyDeletei totally agree with you!
DeleteI agree, your attitude reflects everything.
DeleteI agree because your attitude effects everything.
DeleteI agree because your attitude can change your circumstances for the better and for the worst.
DeleteAttitude may not be the cure to whatever disability you have but it sure can give you extreme motivation to get things done if you really want to. I know a lot of people with disabilities in my life and if they want something they will do it. My cousin has cerebral palsy and she can't speak and can barley walk but if she needs to show you something or tell you something, She becomes a different person and you can totally see the dedication in her eyes and her trying so had just to get things out. That to me is proof you can do just about anything to the extent of what you can do it with your condition but you will eventually find a way. By having a positive attitude and supportive people that can get you through touch times and help you achieve mostly anything.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you can't control your circumstances but you can control how you react to them. You can't control what happens to you or someone else. You can control to the way you react to the problem but you can not control what happens.
ReplyDeleteyour attitude can change a situation and positive or negative way and obviously depends on if the attitude is positive or negative. the best way to approach oat circumstances is with a positive attitude. but other situations that do no come to mind right now you would need to use a negative approach to have a positive outcome.
ReplyDeleteYou can't always change your circumstances, but you can change your attitude toward them. If you have a positive attitude even when you are feeling down.. you are more likely to do good and feel better. But if you have a negative attitude towards everything you are basically telling yourself you won't get better. If you tell yourself something is possible and you set goals for yourself you can do it. It all depends on how hard you try and how bad you want to accomplish it.
ReplyDeleteI agree having bad attitudes does affect your mood just look at the bright side you change what has already been done so just move on. It will make you feel better even after what happened. :)
DeleteYou can always control your attitude and outlook on life. You can't however change the circumstances you're in. People all have different trials, but its those who have a good attitude about it that feel better afterward. If you are negative, however, you will most likely be consumed by your trials(Figuratively and Literally).
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of them but the one that says your attitude has no effect on the things that can happen to you. Your attitude can effect things that happen because if you have a bad attitude good things won't happen. If you have a good attitude you can have good things happen. Also i believe its true that you can overcome anything if u try hard enough because nothings impossible. I also agree with the other one because if u have a good attitude to a bad thing it will end up better for you.
ReplyDeleteThere's a word called "consequences" and "reflection". They represent what happens or happens after someone does something. People can control their choices and their goals, but not the consequences of something.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you good example.
DeleteNo matter what happens your attitude can always make things better because itll change how you feel about it. Physically your attitude cant really affect you because your attitude cant make a bus stop or anything. but if you got hit by the bus you mentally make your self feel better about it. You can mentally over come anything but not always phsically.
ReplyDeleteYes, but not all of the time. If you have a good attitude it can make the truth better or like it was never the truth/real. If you have a bad attitude it can make the truth worst than it really is. Many people are in a bad circumstances and they get through it because they have a good attitude. So have a good attitude and you can get through anything!
ReplyDeleteI agree and disagree with the following sentences because, If you do try hard enough you can accomplish most things. Your attitude has the most effect on what happens to you. In some matters you can't change the circumstances but you can change how you react to them.
ReplyDeleteYou can't change what happens to you if it just happens, but you can change how you react to them. Bethany Hamilton had a positive attitude to her condition. She was attacked by a shark and lost her arm while surfing. Bethany still continued to surf and didn't give up. Just because something bad happens to you doesn't always mean your life is over. Find the positive side to things and it will be okay she didn't let loosing her arm get her down. She tried and she was successful.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Because she didn't give up, she accomplished so much(:
Deletei agree with all of those statements because people can change of how they see things by just changing their attitude, for example if you were to lose an foot you can say "oh thats kinda cool, i can have a fake foot now." attitude can change a lot but that doesn't mean that everything is ganna turn out great. always stay positive of negative side of things.
ReplyDeleteI agree because your attitude is always the answer to how something affects you. The circumstance can be changed by your attitude. Your attitude is what makes you try harder than you did before. If people have a bad attitude the circumstance makes it worse. I the attitude is better it makes the circumstances feel like it never happened.
ReplyDeleteI agree that you can overcome almost everything you just need a positive attitude and it can change your whole life. When you try to overcome a situation it might have a lot of down sides but if they keep trying hard enough they will make it and accomplish so much. I also disagree that your attitude doesn't have effect on what happens to you because your attitude can change your actions and actions effects what happens to you.
