A is for Attitude

Today's post just hit me.
     Again, I am sitting at school and working away on my laptop, minding my own business.  All of a sudden, I hear a familiar voice from one of my classes.  This "boy" is in an educational technology class with me.  He was sitting at a table with a woman talking.  Personally, I hate eavesdropping and think it is a big no-no but he was talking so loudly I couldn't help but hear him.
    This gist of his conversation was a complaint about said technology class which consists of one day lecture and other day is in the computer lab.  I was sure that this class would be a waste of my time.  Seriously, what more could I know about technology?  I am glad to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I have learned already.  I'm not sure if any of you have had experience with Inspiration but it is amazing software along with delicious.  I would not have known about these wonderful tools if not for that class.
    The last thing I want to do is pass judgment on this person but how can someone be so negative?  He went on to complain about several other things from work to the amount of continuing education classes teachers have to take.  Finally, I had to get up and walk away because these comments were depressing me and I wasn't even part of the conversation. 

So, my lesson for all of you out in Lala Land today is to think of attitude like the letter 'A'.  A is first and a positive attitude should be first too.
