Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude. I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination. Smile when it hurts most.
Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.
If you will call your troubles experiences, and remember that every experience develops some latent force within you, you will grow vigorous and happy, however adverse your circumstances may seem to be.
Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can’t be done. You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
The only disability in life is a bad attitude. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Attitudes are nothing more than habits of thoughts, and habits can be acquired. An action repeated becomes an attitude realized. Take charge of your attitude. Don’t let someone else choose it for you. Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character. I certainly don’t regret my experiences because without them, I couldn’t imagine who or where I would be today. Life is an amazing gift to those who have overcome great obstacles, and attitude is everything! Do not brood over your past mistakes and failures as this will only fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future. Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude. I do believe that when we face challenges in life that are far beyond our own power, it’s an opportunity to build on our faith, inner strength, and courage. I’ve learned that how we face challenges plays a big role in the outcome of them.
A positive attitude may not solve every problem but it makes solving any problema more pleasant experience. A great attitude does much more than turns on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change. It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult undertaking which, more than anything else, will determine its successful outcome. Abundance is, in large part, an attitude Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions. Pathetic attitudes are not in keeping with greatness

The country comes fifth in a tally of worldwide newborn death rates.Over 15,000 people were surveyed for the purposes of the report.
The surveys were conducted during the past two months in a wide range of places including Great Britain, Italy, China, and Kenya.
Thomas Chandy, head of Save the Children in India, said that the government’s efforts to provide basic healthcare to all of the country’s citizens had not changed the plight of newborn babies and that, although the intention and allocation of resources were there, they were not reaching the people who needed them.
Researchers found that two million children die every year within 24 hours of being born, and gathered data on 14 countries.
India’s child mortality rates came out higher than its neighbours, with 72 deaths for every 1,000 live births and more than two million Indian children dead each year before reaching the age of five.
Mewa, a 25-year-old mother, said that she has had four children, and that she lost her second child when he was two days old.
She said that she does not know why her son passed away, and that he did not seem ill before he died.
During the first months of a child’s life, major preventable causes of death may include pneumonia, malnutrition, and diarrhoea.
The report’s authors said that, while low-cost solutions to the problem of infant mortality in India exist, public attitudes about healthcare have stopped the government from taking action.
Chandy said that change was indeed possible, and that people would be shocked if they understood how affordable and feasible it is to prevent children from dying.
More than half of all women in India give birth without the help of a doctor or midwife.
Chandy said that some local cultural practices contribute to India’s high rates of infant mortality, and that there are tribal groups who do not breastfeed their babies.
The report said that approximately 40 billion dollars could significantly reduce infant mortality worldwide.
When Save the Children in India conducted a survey among Indians living in metropolitan areas, to gauge their attitudes to infant mortality, only a fifth responded that they would be willing to forgo a day’s earnings to save a child from dying.

Hello Friends,
On the auspicious day of ‘Vijaya Dashmi’ my youtube channel has completed 1,00,000 views, 1275 Channel Views and 19 Subscribers. It is really a pleasure to know this.
It was 1 year back I started my youtube channel and started uploading videos, but the response was very low from viewers initially, after 2 months it started increasing and reached up to 1l views. I think this has the higher contribution of Rediffilanders.
Always I have been appreciated and encouraged by Rediffilanders to be better in all aspects like My Video Channel, My blogs and Rediffiland Postings, I will always be grateful to all my friends on Rediffiland.
In the initial stages, few Rediffilanders had suggested me to start with the blog with blogger and as per their guidelines I started with Rita’s Recipes in March 2009 and got Google Adsense approved in May 2009, after this I learned a lot from Lisa the owner of www.2createawebsite.com. I am still learning to be a successful blogger.
Because of Rediffilanders support and love I started getting higher and higher traffic on my blogs (Tale India and Rita’s Recipes) and recognition on internet.
Here I will take opportunity to thank all Rediffilanders for all their support, love, comments and guidance.
