I think that about 98% of us would confirm your theory thereby making it a fact. A former boss of mine used to say something to the effect of Aptitude = 200% Attitude. He'd go further to say that with the proper attitude and mind-set a person can be taught almost anything. His concern and his praise was rarely based on aptitude. His reviews always praised and focused on developing attitude. He rewarded very generously for attitude. He had a quip I really liked. "I can improve your aptitude and therefore I should get the raise. Only you can improve your attitude for which I will give you a raise." Good Philosophy and his mileage didn't vary. It was outstanding. To this day he continues to be a mentory. Smart Man he was, strong in the force was he. ;P (Did I really just type that? How embarrassing.)
I know you can't become if you only say what you would have done and you'll miss a million miles of fun." - Len Work hard, play hard. Don't forget who you are and don't forget where you're from. Do all these things well and you won't have to wonder where you are going.
this sounds like a *very* wise man indeed! and yes you did just type that, and it seems to be true :) zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness

i am not a great fan of Hershey's, but you are definitely on the right track for getting the post :) this is not bribery, it is considered: * showing a proper appreciation of the work place ethic * knowing how to enhance happiness and cooperation with your collages * you are bringing something valuable to the table *radiates open innocence* zen is the art of being at one with the two'ness
