I love teaching with metaphors

This is a good metaphor to use to teach the young to watch their attitude.


It implies that the feeling or behaviour that someone is displaying is not acceptable as it can be perceived by others as being:

-disrespectful or
-negative or
-inappropriate

If you do a search for example of bad attitude, you will see the following listed:

-being pessimist
-always blaming others for your mistakes
-always resisting change
-always complaining
-have tendency to procrastinate
-being selfish
-being combative
-a general unwillingness to cooperate
-displaying victim mentality
-being self-centred
-being unapproachable
-displaying condescending behaviour
-openly displaying feelings of jealousy or resentment
-being impatient

What are the chances of your getting the support for what you want or need from friends or relatives if that is the kind of attitude you are displaying?

It is good if you are being taught at a young age to watch your attitude. Then you will learn how to control yourself and change your behaviour. Developing the ability to change or adapt your attitude is considered a valuable interpersonal skill. It will help you to:

-foster better relationships.
-improves collaboration.
-increases overall effectiveness in personal and professional settings.

There are many positive attitudes you can adopt. In fact, from the following link, you will be able to find 101 examples of positive attitude that you can use as skills in your resume or in an interview.
