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"

Attitude
Suppose I say
I'm never satisfied

Just let me kill you for a while
Just let me kill you for a smile
Just let me kill you once

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

The vultures smile at me

They plan to pick you clean
And satisfaction this way comes

Gone, yeah, and gone again
