Question by : What are some popular quotes that everyone knows on having a positive attitude?
I am giving a speech on having a positive attitude. In my intro I played with the quote “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can” saying “I think I can’t, I think i can’t, I think I can’t” Do you know of any other quotes that everyone knows inspiring a positive attitude????
