Attitude or constructive attitude?


The youth of today is dancing with joy, placing the gun on the shoulders of just one word ‘attitude’. Even a person with no attitude at all literally is trying to display tons of attitude no matter how unsuccessfully and unnaturally. But the fact is that in reality, they are not displaying attitude, they are flaunting their egos. They are highly misinterpreting the word ‘attitude’ with their ‘egos’ which are actually of no use at all. They fail to understand that attitude is not snubbing of the people without any reason or thinking yourself as ‘raaja bhoj’, when actually you are not capable of being even a ‘gangu teli’. But the attitude is actually realizing that what you are and having the courage and determination to be what you want to. In simple words, attitude is not ego but the self-confidence.
Indian youth, no doubt, have learnt this word, its meaning and its application in their lives from the west, watching the Hollywood stuff and the social networking sites and SMS forwarding the messages related to ‘attitude’. We, the Indians love flaunting our costly handsets and cars and branded wardrobe in schools and colleges, of course why not we when the youth in western countries can? Of course if they have attitude they when can’t we have it? Right. But as it is rightly said, ‘Little knowledge is a dangerous thing’. So it is because we never see the other side of the story that a 15 year boy starts doing part time jobs there and buys a ‘branded’ shirt of his own money and then flaunts it. This is attitude, whereas pressurizing your parents for a 25,000 mobile or a watch, not eating food for days, ignoring them and even screaming on them, knowing that they cannot afford it at that point of time, is sheer act of stupidity, shrewdness and selfishness showing that you don’t deserve your parent’s love which they gave you from childhood. Dude! If you have real attitude go out and work and earn and then even your parents will be proud of this attitude of yours.
The need of the hour is ‘constructive attitude’ which means that work hard and bring out the best in you and ultimately the mouths of the people will be shut. No need to answer them with your words, answer them with your work which will definitely surpass their meaningless words and that will be the ultimate display of ‘constructive attitude’, not the so-called attitude which is called ego. If you are wrong accept it and make it a point to improve in future. Never make your ego a replica of your attitude, these are the two different things, with totally different meanings, while the former can lead you to hell, the other can take you out of the same hell with loads of success.
