VI. Reading the following passages and answerthe questions that follow: 1 ´ 5=5

m
I am seldom considered, though I do more to influence everything about you than virtually anyone

o
thing in your life. I often control the time you get up in the morning, the time you go to sleep, what you eat

.c
and drink and the very thought that runs through your head. I can make you happy or sad, loving or

r
hateful, cheerful or remorseful, congenial or spiteful and in doing so, control the very capacity that you

e
have for success. Often at times unable to find anyone else to blame you look for shortcomings within

p
yourself on which to lay the blame. When my impact on your life fully is considered in your every thought

l p a
and action, when you are mindful of my awesome power, when you nurture and groom me for positive use
in your life, I can become more contagious than the most prolific disease ever witnessed by man. My

e
influence will spread to every person you come in contact with. Groomed and nurtured in a positive

od
manner there will be no person or obstacle that can stand in the way of my success or fail to be impacted
for the better. I am Your Attitude'
