Attitude

Attitude.
Attitude can make or mar a person's life.
Attitude differs from age to age in a single person's life.
Attitude shows how comfortable one is with oneself.

Confidence, self-respect, regard for others' feelings, etc., are all off-shoots of our attitude towards incidents and events which occur in our lives day in and day out.

I have been visiting a lot of star hotels this past one and half years on one project work or the other. I have refused to dye my hair as I am truly afraid it might affect my scalp, eyes, skin over a period of time. I would rather people see me with grey hair than allowing myself to suffer from any of these ailments if they occur due to my dying the hair. This is my attitude towards this thought. So I am confident and carry myself off without giving it a second thought. Though people did comment about my grey hair and wanted to help me out with suggesting the best and harmless hair dyes yet I firmly refused to give in. Now after a while I see people around me accept me as I am - grey hair and all.

One thought used to cross my mind about sporting the natural hair. I see many men who hold high positions yet they never had any kind of make-up or dye on to make themselves more presentable. Their work speaks for them. Ladies or gents - we dont have to make differentiations. Ladies too do not need any kind of make up. It is sufficient that they appear neat and tidy and in their natural glory. The men appared really smart with grey hair and no make up whatsoever.

Our work, our kind words, our helping nature, our concern and prayers for others, should be our make up as these are the gems which make us shine and glow inside-out in this lifetime.

Cheers!
