Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 15-4-2007(308): This guy has an attitude problem – lots of ability, but his heart's not in it.

2) [redskatz] 9-4-2009(113): Having a good attitude means believing in your heart that you have the ability to do anything - like memorizing more than 2000 kanji, for example.

3) [chamcham] 16-10-2006(13): If you had the ability to read people's hearts (especially women's hearts), it'd be so easy to find out why they have such an attitude.

4) [morganandrew] 12-4-2010(11): "It's an attitude problem I'm afraid," says the teacher at parents' evening. "He has the ABILITY to be a great but his HEART is not in it." "What should we do?" says the concerned parent. "Let's try this HEART, shall we?" says the coach, handing over a HEART that will give their child a better attitude.

5) [DrJones] 1-4-2008(8): Hint: Carebears (trading fire for heart-power).
