Attitude is a persons mindset while aptitude is an innate, acquired or learned or developed component of a competency. In life, people who do well in their careers or are successful in life may not be those who are intelligent but most often are those who are willing to work hard and have the right attitude towards matters irregardless of their intelligence level or capability.

For example, Thomas Edison who may not be a genius and had failed thousands of times in making his famous inventions, succeeded only because he had the right attitude and the determination. Had he not have the right attitude or determination, he would have long become pessimistic and given up and therefore not become successful in creating his wonderful inventions.
