Maguire Here. Thought I’d share a little excerpted “life lesson” — one that finds its way into one of my keynote from time to time — courtesy of Mr. Charles Swindoll. Enjoy.

A Harvard Business School study determined that four factors are critical to the success of any enterprise. Information, intelligence and skill account for approximately 7%. The remaining 93%…ATTITUDE.

“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 say or think or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home.

We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
