What makes one person a winner and other people losers? How they think!  Your self image determines your ability and your success. You will be ready mentally if you are thinking success.  For instance:


A WINNER is always ready to tackle something new...  a loser is prone to believe it can't be done.


A WINNER isn't afraid of competition...  losers excuses themselves with the idea that the competition can beat them.


A WINNER makes a mistake and says, "I was wrong"... a loser makes a mistake and says, "It wasn't my fault," and blames someone else.


A WINNER is challenged by a problem and goes through it.. a loser does not want to face it, tries to go around it, but never gets by it.


A WINNER realizes there is no time like the present to get a job done... a loser is prone to procrastinate with the hope that things will get better tomorrow.


A WINNER thinks positively, acts positively, and lives positively... a loser usually has a negative attitude and a negative approach to everything.


A WINNER says "Let's find out..." a loser says, "Nobody knows."


A WINNER makes commitments...   a loser makes empty promises.


A  WINNER says, "I'm good, but not as good as I should be..."·  a loser says, "I'm not as bad as a lot of other people."


A WINNER learns from those who are superior... a loser tries to tear down those who are superior.


A WINNER credits his "good luck" for winning-even though It isn't good luck; a loser blames

"bad luck" for losing-even though it isn't bad luck.


A WINNER knows how and when to say "Yes" and "No"; a loser says, "Yes, but' and "Perhaps

not" at the wrong times, for the wrong reasons.


A WINNER Isn't nearly as afraid of losing as a loser is secretly afraid of winning.


A WINNER works harder than a loser, and has more time; a loser Is always "Too busy" to do what is necessary.


A WINNER shows he's sorry by making up for it, a loser says, "I'm sorry," but does the some thing the next time.


A WINNER knows what to fight for, and what to compromise on; a loser compromises on what he shouldn't and fights for what isn't worthwhile fighting about.


A WINNER listens a loser just waits until it's his turn to talk.


A WINNER, would rather be admired then liked, although he would prefer both; a loser would

rather be liked than admired, and Is even willing to pay the price of mild comtompt for It.


A WINNER feels strong enough to be gentle; a loser Is never gentle-he Is either weak or petty tyrannous by turns.


A WINNER feels responsible for more than his Job: a loser says, "I only work here."


A WINNER says, "There ought to be a better way to do It," a loser says, "That's the way It's always been done here."


A WINNER paces himself; a loser has only two speeds: hysterical & lethargic.


A WINNER works hard to achieve his goals, a loser just gets by.


SO IF YOU, WANT TO BE A WINNER, THINK LIKE A WINNER... ACT LIKE A WINNER... AND SOONER THAN YOU THINK, YOU'LL BE A WINNER TOO!
