“Attitude is the minds paintbrush. It can color any situation.”

-Anonymous

What this quote means is that your attitude can “paint” your surroundings. Or in other words, your attitude reflects you and your area. If you have a positive attitude then your surrounding area will seem more cheerful and happy. But if you have a negative attitude your surrounding area will seem more troubling. 

What is “Attitude”?

Attitude is your body language. Your attitude can have a big influence on your everyday life. For example if you have a negative attitude then you will view everything in negative way. But if you have a cheerful, positive attitude then you’ll look at everything in a positive way. Your attitude can also have an influence on your actions. So it is best to keep a positive attitude so that in return you’ll be a more positive person.

“He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”

-A proverb

What this quote means is that your intelligence and well-being is affected greatly by who you associate yourself with. If you hang out with people who do drugs and don’t obey the law that will make you feel as if that’s a good thing to do. On the other hand, if you hang out with people who are nice and responsible that’ll inspire you to be responsible.
