their work but don’t want to do.

Holistic Approach To Attitude

We inculcate attitudes from our environment , some attitudes are inherited and
some attitudes we build from our inside which is not taught to us.
But there are mainly three factors that have direct effect on our attitude those
are

lifestyle and hence forms his attitude. There are some factors like

not limited to our schools and colleges but we learn everyday from what
we see and observe and how we react to them on the basis of our
education is our attitude.
