I love my class with Firman. This is one of our discussion material in the class.
Attitude
The longer I live, the more I realise
the impact of attitude on life.
It is more important than education,
than money, than circumtances,
than failure, than successes,
than whatever anyone might say or do.
It is more important
than appereances giftedness or skill.
The remarkable things is that
we have the choice to create
the attitude we have for that day.
We cannot change our past.
We cannot change the way people act
We cannot change the inevitable.
The one thing we can change
is the only thing we have control over
and that is our attitude
I’m convinced that life is
10 per cent what actually happens to us
and 90 per cent how we react to it.

So what does this mean? My latest book is a book by Andrea Hirata titled “Laskar Pelangi”.
The book is about his childhood. That include his teachers in elementary school, and most of the story is about his friends. You can read the synopsis from his blog.
Then, what is the relation between this book and “Attitude”? hahaha…
I cannot tell you straightforward, but attitude is one thing that really exist among them.
I am sure, when you have gift and talent and skill, they are nothing without attitude.
haha.. That’s all today.
