ATTITUDE: IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SEE, IT’S HOW YOU SEE IT by Ernie Carwile is a literary 'Check-up from the Neck-up"!
Need a little ‘Check up from the Neck
up’? Is your glass ‘half empty’ rather than ‘half
full’? Are you ‘sick and tired’ of feeling sick and tired?
Multi-published author Ernie Carwile has written the perfect
book “ATTITUDE: IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SEE, IT’S HOW YOU SEE IT’ that
will put a little ‘Altitude’ in your ‘Attitude’.
Going back to Plato and Socrates, the author says “ATTITUDE: IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SEE, IT’S HOW YOU SEE IT’ was inspired from reading thousands of quotes on attitude going back 2500 years and from his friendship with Maxwell Winston Stone, who “affected [his] life through a seemingly unending storehouse of stories and quotes which were all applicable to the life [the author] was experiencing."
“ATTITUDE: IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SEE, IT’S HOW YOU SEE IT’ is full of inspiring quotes (discovered by the author) and great stories (from the author’s friend Maxwell Winston Stone):
Quotes:
· “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” Winston Churchill
· “We don’t see things as they are; we see things as we are.” Anais Nin
· “An optimist is someone who believes we live in the best possible world. The pessimist is afraid that this true.” Maxwell Winston Stone
Stories:
· A blind man whose wife recently had past away was moving into a nursing home. Arriving at his new room the blind man told the nurse, “I love it already.” The nurse said, “But you haven’t seen it yet.” The man replied, “That has nothing to do with it – Happiness is something you decide upon ahead of time. Whether I like my room has little to do with the room and furniture itself. What counts is how arrange my thoughts and I’ve already decided I love it.”
· It doesn’t take age or maturity to develop a good attitude. It’s so simple even a child can have it. A teacher was closely watching her kindergarten class when she asked one little boy what he was drawing? The little boy said, “A picture of God.” The teacher in astonishment said,” But…no one knows what God looks like.” Smiling the little boy said, “They will after I’m finished.”
“ATTITUDE: IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SEE, IT’S HOW YOU SEE IT’ by Ernie Carwile is THE book to start each day. The book is stocked full of motivating uplifting quotes sandwiched between many inspiring stories. In a recent interview the author (Ernie Carwile) said, “Attitude is simply how you perceive life. Truly I say to you, how you perceive is exactly what you will experience. I am coming to understand that any event you see, whether it be something wonderful or horrific, your response to it -- how you see it -- is everything...It is tough to be asked to choose my favorite quote and story in the ATTITUDE book … but the quote that is on the back of the book might be my favorite for obvious reasons: “It is truly a spectacular awakening when you realize, for the first time, that it is only YOU who is limiting yourself...As for my favorite story … probably the one about the African shoe salesman, and you’ll have to read the book to discover its magnificent lesson."
“ATTITUDE: IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SEE, IT’S HOW YOU SEE IT” is one of the best uplifting thought changing attitude adjustment books I have read in many years. The stories are short and too the point and the quotes are a wonderful way to start or end your day. Pick up a copy of “ATTITUDE: IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SEE, IT’S HOW YOU SEE IT” as soon as you can – It will make a wonderful gift for a friend or family member but most of all it be the best gift you could give yourself.
