　　Attitude(态度) refers to what a person thinks about his or her surroundings and the way in which he or she gets along with them. A person's attitude can be understood, not only by what is said, but also by their body languages, expressions and other behaviors.

　　The saying, "Attitude is everything", draws from the idea that people who succeed are the ones who have a right attitude in life. Having a positive attitude brings about a positive change in one's life.

　　We are driven by our goals and dreams. But our dreams are nothing, if not supported by a good attitude. Some people think that they have the right to have the world's riches. But if they do not work hard for them, then their attitude will lead to their failure. The manner in which we treat other people shows our upbringing（教养）and our opinions about others. We should always treat people in the way we want others to treat us. Author of Black Beauty, Anna Sewell, said, "It's good people who make good places." Those who have a good attitude create a warm atmosphere around them. This draws people towards them and helps build friendly relations. Such people can be relied on, and are usually very sensible.

　　A lot of things can be at risk if you have a bad attitude. People do not like to be surrounded by those who have negative personality. This includes being rude, ungrateful and behaving badly in public. We can improve our attitude by changing our thought process. If we start believing in the greater good, then we are certain to be positive.

　　An individual's attitude is mostly dependent on their family backgrounds. In order to ensure that children develop a good attitude, families must take good care of and constantly support them. We are also responsible for our own attitude. A good attitude is very helpful in the long run.
