Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it ?

I believe this to be a true statement. I often encounter people, especially in places of business that do not seem to know how to address their clients. Yes, I get upset, but this is my problem and not theirs. It is my reaction that I should control, but at the same time, I am not going to let people walk all over me. They too need to be aware of their actions. This is 10% them, and 90% me.

At university I found out there are 3% movers and shakers, 60% steady workers and 37% plodders. So therefore it would appear that people differ from one another. I like your suggestion saying that "life is 10% of what happens and 90% how you respond to it". I believe that if a certain something happens to ten different people their responses will differ. All those people will have had it happen to them and some of them will respond in a worst way than others. For example divorce might make one person miserable and depressed whilst a different person might start up their own successful business. Another person might go off traveling and have a wonderful adventure. A surprise pregnancy might scare a lady but she would get used to the idea and make an excellent mother. Another lady might have an abortion then get very depressed in the rest of her life. Three people might move house one might decorate the home to a high standard and another might not have enough money to pay the mortgage due to buying expensive clothes.

My formula for life is 15% problems,25% solution and 60% enjoyment. Might be confused of 60% enjoyment. The reason why I said so, whenever we solved our problems we gain lots of energy to go fourth. Making us new human that somewhat completes who we really are.
