Your attitude is your life, and that is the quote of the day.

Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host, Sean Croxson of Sean Croxson.com.

Happy Monday to you. Yes, the week has just begun. We're going to kick it off right with our featured speaker Keith Harrell.

He's talking about having the yes I can attitude. He's talking about being optimistic, being enthusiastic.

He's talking about the fact that it's Monday. We're four days from Friday, but we have a choice whether to embrace the week and say, yes, I can do this or to not and say, oh my God, I can't wait until it's Friday.

And so this is a fantastic talk. It's from secrets of super achievers the same program that last week's Jim Valdon will talk was from and I hope you enjoyed. Here's Keith.

I reflected back on my life and I realized I said, Keith, when did you really embrace this? Yes, I can't attitude. The year was 1960. It was my first day of kindergarten.

Who's trying to figure out how old I am? I remember my mom coming in the room. She said, honey, it's time. Get up. It's time. I jumped up the first thing I noticed. My mom had my school clothes all laid out.

I'm omelette out of pair of jeans and a pair of quarter-roiers. I didn't realize it then, but my mom was teaching me a yes I can't attitude. She was giving me a choice.

I couldn't make my mind up so I put them both on. You ever try to walk with two pair of pants? I could barely move. My mom came back in the room and she said, honey, you got to make a decision.

But my mom is going to leave it up to you. It's a five-year-old little boy I put on the quarter-roiers. Why? Because I thought I looked cute.

And you know what I love about them is when I used to walk, they'd kind of talk. Switch, switch, switch, switch. When I went to work backwards, when I walked backwards, they'd kind of double-switch. Switch, switch, switch, switch. I'm going to be able to use the word quarter-roiers.

I'm going to be able to still wear those quarter-roiers every now and then. If you can visualize a five-year-old little boy swishing out to his mom's car, I was in the back seat. I was just jumping up and down.

My mom got in the driver's seat. She turned around. She didn't say a word. She just gave me a big o' hug.

That's the first moment in my life. I realized it's okay to get excited. I had a date last week and I haven't had one in a long time. I picked her up. I was just so excited.

I got in the back seat and started jumping up and down.

Maybe that's why the date didn't go too good. I mirror my mom driving the car up on Stevens Elementary School. How many mom and dad's we have in the room? I believe it's all about family.

I saw my school for the first time. I thought it was the biggest building in the world. I said, my mom, is that my school?

We must have walked up 67 flights of stairs to finally get to room 106. I still can't figure that one out.

I remember going up to the other boys and girls. I remember my name. I was right in the first row with a little tin car.

If I name on the front and back. I remember my mom waving goodbye. She even blew me a kiss. Pretty powerful computer, wouldn't you say?

You know, I'll never forget Miss Peterson, my kidney garden teacher. I don't believe anybody in that class who could ever forget her.
