This is a phrase, a quote i wrote in 1977, the year my daughter, Karey, was born.  Her father was a pilot of sorts, having been a Vietnam era veteran, served as an air traffic controller.  From his books I learned that the attitude of the plane determines how high it is to fly.  So i wrote this:

Your attitude determines your altitude.
