About your attitude:

1. Attitude is a choice.... always.

2. We all make things harder than they need to be.

3. Human beings are incredibly capable, resilient and strong when they have to be.

4. We major on minors.... a lot.

5. When we have to survive, we'll find a way. When we have no choice, we just get it done... we don't think, rationalise, complain or procrastinate because we don't have the time. We just do.

6. Being told you have three months to live is a quick way to discover what your real values and priorities are.... (pity some people have to get sick before they start putting things into perspective).

7. Sometimes it's good to laugh, even when there's no reason to do so. Sometimes it's good not to complain, even when there is a reason to do so.

8. Sometimes, the only person you can rely on is you.

9. 'Experts' don't always know. Sometimes the human spirit is more relevant than 'test results'.

10. If you have the best attitude in the worst situation, you have a chance. If you have the worst attitude in the best situation, you're doomed.
