READ SHORT STORY ABOUT ATTITUDE

In the bustling city of Lagos, Nigeria, two young men named Yinka and Shina lived very different lives due to their attitudes towards life. Yinka was known for his positive and diligent attitude, always striving to do his best in everything he pursued. On the other hand, Shina had a bad attitude, often getting into trouble and causing chaos wherever he went.

Yinka worked as a software developer at a prestigious tech company in Lagos. He was always punctual, hardworking, and eager to learn new things. His positive attitude and dedication to his job earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues. Yinka was also a kind-hearted person, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. He believed in treating others with kindness and respect, no matter their background or circumstances.

Shina, on the other hand, had a reputation for being lazy, arrogant, and disrespectful. He was constantly getting into fights, breaking the rules, and causing trouble in his community. Shina never took responsibility for his actions and always blamed others for his mistakes. His bad attitude alienated him from his family and friends, leaving him alone and bitter.

One day, a new project was assigned to both Yinka and Shina at their respective workplaces. The project was challenging and required long hours of hard work and dedication. Yinka approached the project with enthusiasm and a positive attitude, eager to prove himself and contribute to the success of the team. He worked tirelessly, collaborating with his colleagues and going the extra mile to ensure the project's success.

On the other hand, Shina approached the project with indifference and apathy. He procrastinated, skipped meetings, and failed to meet deadlines. Shina's bad attitude cost the team valuable time and resources, leading to the project's failure. His lack of effort and commitment disappointed his colleagues, who had expected more from him.

As the deadline for the project approached, Yinka's hard work and positive attitude paid off. The project was completed successfully, earning praise and recognition from his superiors. Yinka's diligence and determination had helped the team overcome challenges and achieve their goals. His colleagues congratulated him on a job well done, thanking him for his dedication and commitment.

Shina's superiors were disappointed in his performance and attitude, reprimanding him for his unprofessional behavior. Despite their warnings and advice, Shina continued to show a bad attitude, refusing to take responsibility for his actions.

One day, Shina's bad attitude caught up with him. He was involved in a serious crime and arrested by the police. His arrogance and disrespect had led him down a dangerous path, resulting in a life imprisonment sentence. Shina's family and friends were shocked by his actions, unable to believe that he had come to such a tragic end.

Meanwhile, Yinka continued to thrive in his career, using his positive attitude and hard work to achieve even greater success. He was promoted to a senior position at the company, becoming a role model for his colleagues and inspiring others to follow his example. Yinka's kindness and dedication had earned him the respect and admiration of everyone around him, making him a beloved member of the community.

In the end, Yinka's right attitude had led him to success and fulfillment, while Shina's bad attitude had led him to ruin and despair. The story of Yinka and Shina served as a powerful reminder of the importance of attitude in shaping our destinies. It showed that a positive attitude and hard work could lead to great achievements, while a bad attitude could lead to a downfall.

In the mystical land of Arcadia, there lived two friends named Yinka and Ola. Yinka was known for his positive attitude and bright outlook on life, while Ola had a reputation for his negative attitude and pessimistic beliefs.

Yinka was a skilled wizard, able to wield powerful spells and charms with ease. He was always eager to help others and spread joy wherever he went. His positive attitude was like a beacon of light in the darkness, inspiring those around him to strive for their best selves.

On the other hand, Ola was a sorcerer with a dark heart. He used his magic for selfish gain and showed little regard for anyone but himself. His bad attitude and negative energy seemed to cast a shadow over the land, causing plants to wither and animals to flee in fear.

Despite their differences, Yinka and Ola had been friends since childhood. Yinka had always tried to see the good in Ola, hoping that he could one day change his ways. However, Ola's negative attitude only seemed to grow stronger with each passing day.

One day, a powerful sorcerer named Malakar arrived in Arcadia, seeking an apprentice to assist him in his quest for ancient relics. Yinka was overjoyed at the opportunity and eagerly volunteered for the task. Malakar was impressed by Yinka's positive attitude and kind heart, and he agreed to take him on as his apprentice.

Ola, on the other hand, was consumed by jealousy. He couldn't stand the thought of his friend surpassing him in power and prestige. His bad attitude only worsened as he watched Yinka train under Malakar's guidance, learning powerful spells and unlocking hidden abilities.

As time went on, Yinka grew stronger and more skilled, while Ola's dark magic spiraled out of control. He began using his powers for darker purposes, causing chaos and destruction wherever he went. The once beautiful land of Arcadia was now shrouded in darkness, with Ola reigning as a tyrant over all.

Yinka knew that he had to stop his friend before it was too late. With Malakar's help, he embarked on a dangerous quest to confront Ola and bring him back to the light. Despite Ola's resistance and negative attitude, Yinka never gave up hope that his friend could change.

In a final showdown, Yinka and Ola faced off in a battle of magic and willpower. Ola's dark spells clashed with Yinka's light, creating a storm of energy that threatened to tear the land apart. In the end, it was Yinka's positive attitude and unwavering belief in his friend that proved to be the strongest weapon of all.

As the dust settled, Ola lay defeated at Yinka's feet, his dark powers drained and his attitude finally lifting. Yinka extended his hand in friendship, offering Ola a chance at redemption and a path towards a brighter future.

From that day on, Ola vowed to change his ways and embrace a more positive attitude. With Yinka by his side, the two friends set out to restore peace and harmony to Arcadia, using their magic for the good of all.

And so, the tale of Yinka and Ola became known throughout the land as a testament to the power of attitude and the strength of friendship. In a world filled with darkness and despair, their light shone bright, reminding all who crossed their paths that with the right attitude, anything is possible.

ATTITUDE IS ALTITUDE?

Once upon a time in a magical kingdom called Altitude, there lived a young girl named Luna. Luna was known throughout the kingdom for her positive attitude and unwavering kindness towards everyone she met. She believed in the saying Attitude is Altitude and lived her life by it.

One day, Luna decided to climb the tallest mountain in Altitude, Mount Celestia. Many people had attempted the climb before, but none had ever reached the summit. Luna, however, was determined to prove that with the right attitude, anything was possible.

As Luna began her ascent, she encountered many obstacles along the way. The path was treacherous, with steep cliffs and slippery rocks. But Luna pressed on, her positive attitude never faltering. She greeted each challenge with a smile, knowing that she could overcome anything with the right mindset.

As Luna climbed higher and higher, she began to notice a change in the landscape around her. The air grew thinner, and the sky seemed to shimmer with a magical light. She felt a sense of as if she had entered a different world altogether.

Finally, after days of climbing, Luna reached the summit of Mount Celestia. As she stood at the peak, looking down at the kingdom below, she felt a sense of accomplishment like never before. She realized that her positive attitude had carried her through the toughest of challenges and had led her to the highest point in Altitude.

But Luna's journey was far from over. As she gazed out at the vast expanse of the kingdom, she noticed a dark cloud looming on the horizon. It was a fearsome dragon, known for wreaking havoc on the land and terrorizing its inhabitants.

Instead of feeling fear, Luna saw an opportunity to put her positive attitude to the test. She knew that respect was reciprocal, and she approached the dragon with kindness and compassion. To her surprise, the dragon responded in kind, revealing that it had been misunderstood and mistreated by the people of Altitude.

Luna listened to the dragon's story with an open heart, understanding that everyone deserved respect and kindness, no matter their appearance or reputation. She offered to help the dragon mend its relationship with the kingdom and restore peace to Altitude.

Together, Luna and the dragon embarked on a quest to spread positivity and goodwill throughout the land. They visited villages and towns, performing acts of kindness and sharing the message that attitude truly was altitude. Slowly but surely, the people of Altitude began to see the error of their ways and followed Luna and the dragon's example.

In the end, the kingdom of Altitude was filled with joy and harmony, thanks to Luna's unwavering positive attitude and belief in the power of respect. She had proven that with the right mindset, anything was possible, and that true greatness came from within.

As Luna looked out at the kingdom, now bathed in light and love, she knew that she had truly reached the highest altitude one could achieve – the altitude of the heart. And with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye, Luna knew that her journey was far from over, but she was ready to face whatever challenges came her way, armed with her positive attitude and the knowledge that respect truly was reciprocal.

ANOTHER SHORT STORY

START WITH YOURSELF.

Choose to lift others up. Choose to set the example. The example of kindness and integrity. The example of compassion and understanding. Who you are is far more than what you have, and it will always be. Who you are is measured by how you make others feel. In a world where you can be anything. Be kind. Choose to be the change you wish to see in the world. Because you never know how much that person is suffering inside. You never know the difference your words can make, the difference your presence can make, the difference you can make to one human life. Be the reason someone believes in the goodness of humanity. Be the reason someone else decides to make a difference in others. Kindness spreads like a virus. When you do good to another, that person does better to those they come into contact with. You really can make a big difference in the world, today, and every other day. Anne Frank said:

"In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit." No one has ever made themselves great by showing how small another is. Be kind and always build others up to the best of your ability. Treat everyone with the same level of kindness that you would like for yourself. Not because everyone is nice, but because you are perfectly created

PRACTICE THE WORDS LOVE

*A Cigarette smoker without money can leave his house with faith that when He gets to the joint his Friends will buy for him and for sure even without begging, his friends will say guy take one stick. That's Love.*

*A guy who loves Beer without money can leave his home for a Beer Parlour with faith that his Friends will buy for him and for sure even without asking, his Friends will say guy take one bottle. That's love.*

*A Drug addict can leave his home without money and go to their joint with the faith that his Gang Members will buy for him and for sure even without asking, his Gang members will say have a spiff. That's love*

*But can a hungry/jobless person leave his home for a Religious Organisation with faith that someone will give him money with which to eat???* *ABSOLUTELY NO!*

*Where is the love that we preach everyday?*

*Have you bothered to ask a member of your Church/Mosque or Religious Organisations how life is treating them? People go through a lot of difficulty and only a few will voice out for the fear of being labelled.*

*Someone will sow ₦1 Million seed in a Religious gathering, but beg him for ₦1,000 outside, he will say no money.*

*This is why it's easy for the devil to convince young minds and grown-ups to join bad Gangs because they show more love than most people that preach love.*

*We, the Religious people really have to step-up and start practising this love that we preach.

*Food for thought.*

LESSON TO REAL MAN

A man without enemies is a man without qualities. If everyone loves you, especially the women around you, that’s not a mark of success—it’s a warning sign. Real men, men of conviction, don’t aim to be loved by everyone. The minute you’re universally adored, trust me, you’re slipping, watering yourself down, and compromising. You’re likely ignoring your own values, bending yourself to fit in, and losing your edge. That’s not the path to respect; it’s the path to becoming irrelevant.

When you’re a man with principles, you’re going to step on toes. You’re going to have people who can’t stand you, who feel threatened by the fact that you have standards and boundaries. And why? Because a man of character doesn’t make concessions that betray his values. He stands by what he believes, even if it means friction with others. He’s firm, he’s grounded, and he doesn’t bend to please everyone. The truth is, the stronger your sense of self, the more you’ll find yourself at odds with those who lack it.

Being respected often means being disliked. A real man isn’t afraid to say “no.” He’s not swayed by superficial opinions, nor does he crave validation. When you live by a code, by principles, you draw a line that some people won’t cross with you. It makes them uncomfortable because they can’t manipulate you, charm you, or get you to settle for less than what you know you deserve.

Especially in the eyes of women, a man with qualities and principles isn’t always loved—he’s respected. The man who’s universally adored by women is often the one who says yes to everyone, who bends his identity, who acts in ways that keep him in everyone’s good graces, even if it means betraying his own standards. But the man who has the strength to say “no,” the man who stands firm, gains something more valuable than fleeting admiration: he gains respect. Women may not love everything about him, but they respect the fact that he isn’t easily swayed.

When you have values, you’re willing to lose relationships, status, and even comforts if they don’t align with who you are. This is why great men have enemies; they aren’t afraid to live authentically, and authenticity will always ruffle feathers. You can’t be true to yourself and expect everyone to be on board. And you don’t want them to be. If everyone’s happy with you, if everyone’s patting you on the back, it’s because you’re not standing for anything that truly matters.

The most respected leaders, thinkers, and visionaries weren’t loved by everyone. They were criticized, challenged, and sometimes even despised. But they were unshakable in their convictions. They didn’t cater to everyone, and they didn’t let superficial praise sway them. They were defined by the strength of their principles, not by the number of friends they kept or the women who adored them.

So remember this, men: don’t aim to be everyone’s favorite. Aim to be respected. Set standards. Stand by them. If people, especially women, find you too “difficult” or “intimidating,” you’re likely on the right path. A man with no enemies, no critics, and no one challenging his stance is a man who stands for nothing. Be the man who’s willing to stand alone, to say “no” when it matters, and to accept that your integrity will make you a few enemies. That’s the mark of a man with qualities, with depth, and with an unbreakable character.

DO THESE 6 THINGS TO START A NEW CHAPTER IN YOUR LIFE

1. Learn to believe in yourself. Believing in yourself is crucial to succeeding. If you can believe, you really can achieve.

2. Use your power. By embracing your personal power you'll take back control and create a life you can't wait to wake up to every day.

3. Don't think too much. Overthinking can create an endless cycle of stress and worry, which can ultimately cause you to feel less prepared, motivated, and confident.

4. Don't tell anyone your next move. Sharing our plans prematurely can expose them to scepticism, doubt, and even sabotage from others.

5. Always keep learning. Constant learning leads to new opportunities, helps to broaden your horizons and encourage self-development.

6. And start mingling with successful people. Spend time with successful people who will serve as mentors to you. Ideally, they have accomplished what you are aiming to achieve. These are the people who can teach you new things and help you to reach your full potential. But you will lose them if you present your financial problems to them. Do no mingle with them to beg for money. Mingle with them to learn from them.
