The longer I live the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company . . . a church . . . a home.
My dad said: Now Teddy, you have to make up your mind whether you want to have a constructive and positive attitude and influence on your time.

The most dangerous thing that can happen to us, I think, is to permit a feeling to develop that any client is a problem.
