There was a man who made his living, selling balloons at a fair. He had balloons of many different colours, including red, yellow, blue and green. Whenever business was slow, he would release a helium-filled balloon into the air. When the children saw the balloon go up, they all wanted one. They would come up to him, buy a balloon and his sales would go up. All day, he continued to release a balloon whenever the sales slowed down.
One day, the balloon man felt someone tugging at his jacket. He turned around and saw a little boy standing by his side to ask, “if you release a black balloon, would that also fly?”
Moved by the boy’s concern, the man replied gently, ``Son, it is not the colour of the balloon, it is what is inside that makes it go up.” The same principle applies to our lives also.
“Thus it is what is inside that counts and what is inside of us that makes us go up is our attitude.”
From the above said short story, you can understand the importance of attitude.
