Attitude Vs Aptitude – Prof.M.S.Rao

"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." - William James



Attitude is related to existing abilities and skills with certain perceptions while aptitude is the potential ability to acquire skills, abilities and knowledge. It can be positive or negative attitude. The positive attitude is known as optimism where as the negative is pessimism. An individual with positive attitude always thinks of winning and staying ahead. On the contrary, the individual with negative attitude always thinks of defeating others thereby trailing behind forever. That draws the thin line between the individual with positive and negative attitude.

An optimist always looks at the prospects in a given problematic scenario. On the other hand, the pessimist always looks at the problems in a given positive scenario. Individuals can change their feelings for better to build right skills and abilities. The attitude can alter the aptitude for higher altitude while aptitude cannot. The blend of both attitude and aptitude ensures success.

Success comes when you use all your energies and efforts in a focused manner. Success does not come when you let the things happen. It comes only when you make the things happen with a right blend of both attitude and aptitude.
