Winner vs Loser

Greetings:

I received an interesting email from John Di Lemme on*The tiniest 1/1000th of a second* In the ezine John discussed how an Olympic Athlete can lose by a fraction of a second. I witnessed that myself when watching the Olympics and was amazed at how close the competition could be. And life is much that way too. There are times when just a little extra effort will make the biggest difference.

John provided a comparison between winners and losers that I found intriguing.


W - The winner is always part of the answer;
I - The loser is always part of the problem;
N - The winner always has a program;
N - The loser always has an excuse;
E - The winner says, 'Let me do it for you;'
E - The loser says, 'That's not my job;'
R - The winner sees an answer for every problem;

VS. - The loser sees a problem for every answer;

L - The winner sees a green near every sand trap;
O - The loser sees two or three sand traps near every
green;
S - The winner says, 'It may be difficult, but it's
possible;
E - The loser says, 'It may be possible, but it's too
difficult.'
R - BE A WINNER

I would add to Winner - they never give up.

I received another interesting email about the concept of abandoning your car at a red light. Something most of us would not do. However how many times have you hit a red light in life and you simply give up. Things like getting a no from a perspective customer or when you ask for a date. The red lights in life tend to trip us up and tempt one to give up. Don't. Just keep going. Keep in mind that no just means "Next Opportunity." Like the red light, it doesn't mean give up, it just means stop for a moment.

Here's to taking action
