You will find those you seek, everywhere

I live in the Philippines, because I like many things about the country - most of all, the people. I run a company here with fourty people and not a day goes by when I am not soundly impressed with their attitude and work ethics.

So it came as some surprise when another foreign guest married to a local, insisted that the people were not trustworthy and were out to get anything they could from foreigners. We later found out that this man behaved like a wealthy royal landowner from medieval England and treated those around him with complete disrespect.

The attitude of the locals toward him simply mirrored his attitude toward them.

Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.
John N. Mitchell

When our attitude towards ourselves is big, and our attitude toward others is generous and merciful, we attract big and generous portions of success.
W. Clement Stone
