Attitude is the mind's paintbrush. It can color any situation.


What I think this saying means is that everything is white, and your brain is the paint. You can have a good attitude and paint it colorful, with cheerful colors. That means that you want to be happy, On the other hand, you can  paint it with gloomy colors, like black and brown. With those colors, you might be sad, angry, depressed. Your mind can do a lot of powerful things, but your attitude can stop it from doing so, or empower it to do so.

Do you think you would like to be one?
If I did not want to be a surgeon i would like to be one because they make a lot of money and it is somewhat in the same field of study as a surgeon. I feel like this is a good job to take because there isn't really a lot of pressure and even if you fail it's not as bad as seeing someone die because of your lack of skills.

" You can't hire someone else to do your push-ups for you."
-Jim Rohn

I think what this great man means is that you HAVE to do your own things. You can't go all your life making other do people do what YOU have to do. That doesn't make sense, because when you truly are alone and you need to do something, its just going to be you having to do your own things, no one else. It is better to always do your own things so that you can become strong and versatile. At the end it is your life, not someone elses.

-Anon

I think what this "Anon" means is that you can't become a professional at something, if you try it for the first time. It takes time and patience. It can't be done in one second, it wouldn't make sense. In order to be something in life you have to have the patience and attitude of a champion, even if you don't succeed most of the time. That is what makes people great.
