Digging through some old training material, I came across a fun little exercise that I’ve not used in years. It still makes me smile.
ATTITUDE BY THE NUMBERS:
Using the english alphabet, assign a numerical value to each letter, starting with A=1 and Z=26
Example: Using this formula, the word CAT = 3+1+20=24
Got it? Let’s try a few others.
HAPPINESS
__+__+__+__+__+__+__+__+__ = ___%
ATTITUDE
__+__+__+__+__+__+__+__ = ___%
This exercise proves that Happiness alone is not enough. In the end, it is Attitude — the recognition that you can CHOOSE your Attitude — that makes the difference. For we have just proven, mathematically, that attitude really IS everything!
OK, back to work. In happiness, J
