Behaviour is more important than attitude


AN individual, community or a nation that is constantly dependent on, in need of, or, worse, yearns for extrinsic motivation to make things happen can never be successful.

Attitude is a mental state, behaviour is about actual practice. Attitude focuses on intentions; behaviour pays attention to outcomes and performance.
