10% of life is made up of what happens to U...
90% of life is decided on how u reacts.
Lets use an example...
U are having a breakfast with your family,your daughter knocks off a cup of Tea onto ur business shirt.U hav no control ova what happened.what happened next is determined by how u react.
You curse.U harshly scold ur daughter for knocking the cup over.she breaks down in tears.After scolding her u turn to ur wife and criticised her for placing the cup to close to the edge of the Table.A short verbal battle fellows..
U storm upstairs to change ur shirt,came down nd saw ua daughter busy crying to finish her breakfast.she misses her bus.Ur spouse must have left for work immediately.U rush to the car and drive ua daughter to school.After arriving at work 20mins late,u realized u left sum files at home.Your day has started terrible.As it continues, it seems to get worsen and worsen.U look forward to coming home,when u arrive home,u find a small wedge in the relationship with ur wife and daughter.

Why?? Bcos of how u reacted in the Morning.

Why did u hav a bad day?
(A) Did the Tea caused it?
(B) Did ua daughter caused it?
(C) Did ua wife caused it?
(D) Did u cause it?
The answer is" D"
U had no control over what happened with the Tea nd How u reacted in those 5mins caused ua bad day.

Here is what could have or should have Happened.

Tea splashes over you.Your daughter is abt to cry.You gently say"Its ok sweety,u just need to be more careful next time"U grabbed towel,go up stairs nd change ua shirt,came down nd saw ua daugher through window getting on bus,she turns and wave u.U arrive 5mins ealier and cheerfully greets ua staff.

U Notice the difference?? Two different scenarios,
Both started the same,both ended differently.
Why, bcos of How u react.

U really have No control over 10% of what happened in ua life,The other 90% was determined by ua reactions.

If someone says something negative about u,do not be a sponge,let the attack roll of like a water on glass.U do not have to let Negative comments affects u.
React properly and it will not ruin ua day.A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend,being fired,or getting stressed out.

The plane is late,its going to mangle ua schedule for the day.why take out ua frustration on the flight attendants?she has no control over what is going on.use the time to study,get to know other passengers.why stressed out? It will just make things worst.

Now u know the 90/10 principle. Apply it and u will be amazed by the result.U will lose nothing if u try it. Slainte!!
