Lessons Learned: Attitude.

Do you know? During each day's debrief, some of us would have to go out to the front and share with everyone our lesson(s) learned that day. May it be safety issues like leaving stuff back in the plane or not looking out for other aircrafts on the ground, we'd have to share what we've learned from the mistakes we made. So this is it, an after course lessons learned.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING. (well almost.) In flying, attitude refers to the orientation of the aircraft in respect to the horizon. Being able to fly straight and level is of utmost importance and attitude plays a major part in that. In other words, if your aircraft is traveling at a particular speed, you have to adopt a certain attitude to maintain straight and level flight. If you are too close to the horizon, your aircraft would probably gain height, if you're too far, you'd probably go on descend, so your attitude must be perfectly right in accordance with your speed.

Isn't that how it goes in life? The success of the things we do usually depends on our attitude towards them. If i go like, oh bummer it's maths again, chances are i'm going to under-perform for this subject. However if i tell myself to give everything my best shot, it'd be highly likely that things would turn out fine, well even if a desired outcome is not achieved, there is still much consolation in knowing that i've done my best. So it's kind of a win-win situation there.
