What is Attitude?
Attitude is how we think, feel, and act in response to different events, people, and circumstances. It’s an internal reaction, the motivation behind our behavior.
Example: When you meet a friend you haven’t seen in a long time, you might be happy and excited, or you might be cold and distant. Your reaction is an expression of your attitude towards that friend.
