The situation is the main reason for a person’s attitude because no one can be negative or positive over any situation without a reason. If a person is positive in every situation he faces then that type of person is known as an optimistic attitude and if any person thinks negative in every situation then that type of person is known as pessimistic. An optimistic attitude is the type of attitude in which a person takes every tasks or every situation in a positive way and those type of person always thinks that the outcome of every examination or task will be positive. On the other hand pessimistic attitude is the type of attitude in which a person takes every tasks or every situation in a negative way and those type of person always thinks that the outcome of every examination or task will be positive. To examine whether a person is optimistic or pessimistic there is a famous test.

Education is known as the process of learning or collection of knowledge, skills, value, habits which are gained by the people in any educational institution like school, college or universities. Education is divided into different stages like preschool, kindergarten, primary school, secondary school, college and then university. Everybody has the right to education but very few know what should be the attitude towards education or learning. Education and learning also needed some kind of attitude which will help students in learning and make themselves educated. Attitude in education plays a very crucial role. If you want to be educated then you should keep you attitude optimistic or positive because if you think that you can then only you will be able to learn and if you think that you can’t then you will not be able to make yourself educated. This is not only for education but also for all type of work which a person can do or perform. You should always be positive in your attitude if you start something new but this doesn’t mean that you ignore pessimistic attitude. It is not necessary that you can always be positive in your attitude towards education frustration leads to negative thoughts or pessimistic behavior. If a person doesn’t think about the negative part of work or the outcome of homework stress done by him then he will not be able to face the failure or disappointment. If a person thinks about the negative part of any examination outcome or situation then that type of person is always ready about the failure he might face in near future and will be carrying the solution of the problem he might face. But in education, negative thoughts means burden or tension on mind and no one can win or grow with keeping burden on mind.

Attitude in education is really important. Every student has its own attitude of learning. Some completes homework or learning before time, some are late in studies. So attitude for every student is different, everyone has its own style of how they look towards their studies. But if you want to learn or grasp what you teach is teaching then you should sit to learn like you doesn’t know anything about the subject which teacher is teaching to you. This is the technique or trick which helps you to change your attitude towards learning or education. Teacher will take interest in teaching if you keep your attitude like this.

So education is an attitude but the attitude is not education. If you are educated then you are already carrying an attitude with yourself and knowing how to use your attitude in any situation is more important that just having an attitude. Attitude is a sustainable lifestyle but education is life, so you should know how to educate yourself to have the right attitude because both type of attitude is important positive as well as negative.
