Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.

决定你人生高度的，不是你的才能，而是你的态度。

Basically, I think your attitude and your aptitude both are very important, they work togehter in determining our altitude.

I have seen that many people whose attitudes are very positive haven't reached very high altitude, that shows one's aptitude may play a much more important role in one's life.

But for those whose abilties are not extraordinary, the vital factor may be their attitudes.

 

The real test of good manners is to be able to put up with bad manners pleasantly.

对礼貌真正的考验在于能否愉快地忍受粗鲁。

As the saying goes, the best choice for most of us is just an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

If you always put up with bad manners pleasantly, then it would be harmful for those who behave in bad manners.
