CIA? What CIA?

I'm pretty sure most of us, if not all, know what CIA means. You may asked, "Why need CIA?" I'm talking about another type of CIA. A trainer told the class, during our last night's session, that if we want to achieve success in our lives, we definitely need to have Character, Integrity and Attitude.

Character determines how we look at life. We make decisions based on what we believe (our belief system) and what we think (our value system). We also shape our personality basing on our character.

Integrity is something that you do right even when no one is watching you. Even then, God is always watching us from above. We know what is right and wrong. At times, we are so tempted to do the wrong just out curiousity or for the fun of it. Well, for every action, there is a consequence and a price a pay. The price may be hefty, like it or not.

Attitude is all about our behaviour. It is said our attitude determines our altitude in life. The corporate world emphasizes on the importance of attitude. HR people would tell you that if one lacks knowledge and skill, he can learn about it himself or go for skill training. But if one lacks attitude, he can go nowhere, as attitude cannot be taught; either you have it or don't.
