Plus Attitude and Active Life Active Life of Human being is roughly 30

years i.e. 2.6 Lac hr. (If we work for 12 hr/day, balance life is 15 Years i.e. 1.3 Lac Hr.)

In case of negative attitude during 50% time, the plus active life is reduced to 15 years. So effectively 30 years are reduced to 15 years.

If we try to improve our mental plus attitude to 75%, the span of active life can be increased

to 23 years.

Winners – What is Special about them??

Winners have Fighting spirit, urge to win & Never say Die Attitude.

Winners are motivated by their plus (+) attitude.

You can also have the same and can

achieve whatever you desire, provided you have + attitude.
