Levinson’s Theory of Adult Life Stages
1) Positive attitude : The person more positive than negative benefits towards psychological
object is called positive attitude.
2) Negative attitude: The person more negative than positive benefits towards psychological
object Is called negative attitude.
Goals without a positive attitude are not goals at all. There is no sense working towards
them, without a positive attitude, for there is no way to reach them.
Without a positive attitude, there is no better way to overcome stress and problems, no
way to face temporary failure and to try again.
Not only does a positive attitude point the direction in which one should strive, but it is
also the power plant that enables us to proceed in that direction.
The positive attitude always says, "I will" and "I can"; it never says, "I'll see if I can make
it.“
And when failure strikes, the positive attitude has a fall back position from which it will try
again and again, and if necessary in order to reach its goal, it may also try a different
route.
. It is a common saying that, 'Failure is the pillar of Success!'
