The big tude,
ATTITUDE.

If you don't have one,
you'd better find one.
Not a negative arrogant one,
but a smart tough one.

"I'm tuff, smart and in charge." A good one to have even if you're lacking. I know I'm not the smartest guy in the world.
It's not important to me that I am. There's always someone smarter.

What's important to me is my attitude. It makes me feel good to keep my ego up regardless of my stupidty. So I messed up.
I'll learn from it and do better the next time. That is, if I didn't make a life and death mistake.

And get hit by the earthquake.

FORTITUDE.

Strength of mind that allows one to endure pain or adversity with courage.

If you don't have fortitude,
your latitude,
might be off balance.

ALTITUDE.

How high,
do you want to fly.
Does your motivation,
measure up to your life equation?

SOLITUDE.

Value your alone time,
but try not to end up doing time,
because of stupid crime.

GRATITUDE.

Be thankful for everything good,
and then knock on wood.

Got a tude?
