THE MAKER’S MAP [By FBI- First Baba Isa] Monday, 20th January, 2014. ATTITUDE IS STILL EVERYTHING. “Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.” --Titus 1:15 John D. Rockefeller, one time world richest man, once said, ‘I will pay a man more for his attitude and his ability to get along with others than for any skills he may possess.” Your attitude is one of your most important assets. St. Clement Hofbauer was on a tour begging for his poor, neglected people. A man, after the saint asked him for alms, spat into the face of the saint. “That was for me,” the saint replied. “Now do you have anything for the poor?” What an attitude! The Reverend Whitefield remarked in a sermon that all that God made was perfect. At this, a man who had a hunchback rose from the pews, and asked, “What think you of me?” “Think of you,” said the preacher. “Why, sir, you are the most perfect hunchback my eyes ever beheld.” Another amazing attitude you will say. I put it to you that misfortune is a point of view. Contrast the attitude of this Irishwoman. William Thackeray talked of an Irishwoman begging alms from him. When she saw him put his hand in his pocket, she cried out, “May the blessings of God follow you all your life”. But when he only pulls out his snuffbox, immediately she added, “And never overtake you”! Let’s work at some amazing Mathematics. If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Is equal to: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Then H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% L+O+V+E = 12+15+22+5 = 54% L+U+C+K = 12+21+3+11 = 47% None of them makes 100%. Then what makes 100%? Is it money? NO! Is it leadership? NO! Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our attitude. A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E= 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% It is therefore our attitude towards life and work that makes our life 100% successful. If you score less in attitude, you will score less in life. LET’S PRAY: O God, give me the grace to keep always a healthy attitude in my pursuit of purpose, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. SUCCESS ACTIVITY: Read the gospel of Mark CONFESSION: I am an overcomer!
