attitude
[organizational behavior] attitude is not set(fixed) but changeable. In many cases, behavior controls attitude.
eg: After Sean donate money to a charity, his attitude toward that charity would be more positive than it was before the donation. The act of giving money leads to a change in attitude. If Sean disliked a certain charity before, then giving money to charity must make him uncomfortable. To resolve this dissonance Sean can do one of several things: He can negate the donation by saying he was forced to give, he can stop giving money, or he can change his attitude by saying,"well, the charity isn't that bad after all"

Metallica Lyrics - Metallica Sarki Sozleri
Attitude
Suppose I say
I'm never satisfied
Suppose I say
You cut some root
To make the tree survive

Just let me kill you for a while
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once
I'm oh so bored to death

Oh, I hunger
I hunger
I eat

Born into attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
What ever happened to sweat?

Suppose I say
The vultures smile at me
Suppose I say
I set them down
They plan to pick you clean

And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction's here and gone
Gone, yeah, and gone again

Oh, I hunger
Oh, I hunger
I eat

Born into attitude
A sleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And stand there

Born into attitude
Twist mother tongue
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
What ever happened to sweat?

Just let me kill you for a while
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once for me
I'm bored to death

And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction this way comes
And satisfaction's here and gone
Gone, gone again

Yeah, I hunger
Oh, I hunger
I eat

Born into attitude
Asleep at the wheel
Throw all your bullets in the fire
And stand there

Born into attitude
Twist mother tongue
Throwing all your bullets in the fire
And run like hell
Why cure the fever?
What ever happened to sweat?
