So here's my take on attitude.
ALS is in my body and launching a takeover, slowly, cruelly, everyday. I don't believe there is a whole lot to do to improve the maximum longevity, baring major miracle. However, everything I do that is positive can only improve my chances of sticking around to hit that maximum. Without these, I am certain my quality of life, and that of every person around me would suffer greatly. And I'm pretty sure that bad attitude, not caring, not trying would guarantee hitting the minimum. Some days are bad, really bad, and I want to give up. But then I look around at all those I love so much and find the strength to push on.
Right now, I'm pulling for the maximum, for me and all my friends here.
And a major miracle
