A positive attitude
”Stay positive. Attitude is everything.”
-Anonymous
A positive attitude is the key to enjoying what your doing. The book The Odyssey really challenges me to look at books with a positive attitude because of its challenging wording and phrasing. Reading The Odyssey has really made me go into books or really anything with a bit more of a positive attitude even if I really am not looking forward to it. It has really challenged me to try and dissect each quote that I use or highlight. I realized that everything has a challenge in it and to really get past the challenge especially something like The Odyssey you have to have a positive attitude. While I was reading book four of The Odyssey I felt like I did a really good job dissecting confusing sentences and phrases used. I did a good job highlighting words that I didn’t know, phrases that were weird and quotes that I found interesting or could use. This chapter has been my favorite chapter so far because there was a lot of really interesting scenes like when Eidothea, Menelaus and three other men were led to Proteus where the men ambushed him. All of this was possible because I looked at this chapter with a positive attitude. This comes to prove that if all I need to get through The Odyssey is a positive attitude then if other people look at things that they don’t want to do with a bit more of a positive attitude then they can get through them. At the beginning of reading the The Odyssey I really wasn’t looking forward to it, but with a little bit of a positive attitude I was able to get through it.
