Attitude V/S Behavior

Many a times people have requested me or in another way expressed their reproach for me by saying “U have a very bad attitude. Change it. U don’t know how to deal with people. U don’t know about relation management and u must change ur attitude.”. So I thought to write this article to clearly distinguish between ATTITUDE and BEHAVIOR. What these people dislike about me is the behavior and not the attitude but they ended up saying it attitude ignorantly or with a misunderstanding of the term.
Attitude is a personal attribute of a man. It lies secure well defined well inside you. And its not accessible or changeable by the public. But the behavior is a public attribute, its what u show others. It’s just a prototype of your impression of them u carry on your mind. So behavior can be defined and judged by others.
In the other hand attitude is different its your personal creation it’s the attribute of mind and heart. It’s the way u standardize your code of values and your self esteem. Its only you who can judge and hence change the attitude.
Behavior is reflected in your dealing with people, your voice, your body language and most in your word. But attitude is reflected in your action, thinking, the way of tackling challenge and mostly in work. There is a significant difference between WORK and WORD. The word part is of less importance and for a visionary man may be of no importance. But Regardless of context the work is always important.
Behavior is just to fool others to give a fake impression of your existence but attitude is the real value system, your own brainchild which gives a blueprint of your ability and confidence. Behavior is for others and attitude is for yourself. We always say “Attitude Towards Life”, “Attitude Towards Work”, “Attitude Towards Humanity”. And we never say Behavior towards life, work or humanity. Behavior is specific, which varies from person to person. Our behavior may change for one person as compared to other. But our attitude is a constant it can be changed but over a long time and takes a great deal of deliberation. Our attitude lies how we take work, life and all those serious issues for which we are existing. Behavior is more related to heart, attitude is more related to mind. Behavior is a personality trait and have common strings with emotion but attitude is a stand alone identity. None other than u has the right to comment and alter your own attitude, its guided by the self esteem that we carry. But behavior is a fraud way of hypocrisy; it may not be a honest representation. Behavior is always vulnerable and prone to the circumstances but attitude is a shield code which we can’t permit others to intervene

That’s why its called “Positive Attitude” and not “Positive Behavior”.

Truly,
