Attitude is one of the most important factors in determining success for all people. Successful people have one thing in common—an expectant attitude towards success. Most people begin each morning neutrally and react to events of the day. You can be one of the successful people in life by starting each day with a positive attitude, a deep gratitude to the opportunities you have, and an expectation of the best for yourself．
People tend to live up to expectations. We get out of life just what we put into it. Our environment becomes a mirror of our spirit, our attitude and expectations. If we set a great goal, we’ll get great results; if we have a fair goal, we’ll get fair results; if we have a poor goal, we’ll get poor results. The world will give you back what you expect, so expect the very best. Don’t be defensive or doubtful. Nothing changes unless you do. Before you can do something, you’ve got to be something. Know that you have worth and value. Show that to the world．
Treat everyone you come into contact with as the most important person in life. It will build self?esteem. Smile! You’ll be rewarded with a returned smile. Don’t treat others rudely. Forgive everyone who ever hurts you. Then, forgive yourself. Keep yourself healthy. Exercise. Have a proper diet. Display an attitude of confidence．
Develop these good habits and your expectancy will be rewarded by success. This attitude will put you into that group of people who are truly successful, because you will know and understand how an expectant attitude enhances every aspect of your life．

When the people in your family are fighting, it’s hard to figure out what to do. You may be feeling sad, ashamed, or even angry when it happens. Whatever your feelings are, what you probably want most is for the fighting to stop.
It can be pretty tough when your parents or step-parents are fighting. Remember, even people who love each other fight sometimes. And just because they fight doesn’t mean they’re going to stay mad for long or that they’re going to get a divorce. It’s natural for people who live together and spend a lot of time with each other to sometimes disagree and lose their tempers. Just think of the last time you and your brother or sister got into a fight. You didn’t really mean all those things you said, did you? In the end, you probably made up. The same goes for parents. If you get really upset when your parents fight, you might want to talk to them about your feelings. Sometimes, parents don’t realize that their arguing makes you feel upset. If you tell them how you feel, they’ll probably try to stop or at least explain to you why they are disagreeing.
