A WINNER is always part of the solution … a loser is always part of the problem.
A WINNER always has a plan … a loser always has an excuse. A WINNER says,“ Let me do it” … a loser says,“ That’ s not my job.”
A WINNER sees an answer for every problem … a loser sees a problem for every answer.
A WINNER says,“ It may be difficult but it is possible” … a loser says,“ It may be possible but it is too difficult.”
A WINNER has dreams … a loser has schemes.
A WINNER says,“ I must do something” … a loser says,“ Something must be done.”
A WINNER is a part of the team … a loser is apart from the team. A WINNER sees the gain … a loser sees the pain. A WINNER sees possibilities … a loser sees problems.
A WINNER believes in win / win … a loser believes that for them to win, someone has to lose.
A WINNER sees the potential … a loser sees the past. A WINNER is like a thermostat …. a loser is like a thermometer.
A WINNER chooses what they say … a loser says what they choose.
A WINNER uses hard arguments but soft words … a loser uses soft arguments but hard words.
A WINNER stands firm on values but compromises on petty things … a loser stands firm on petty things but compromises on values.
A WINNER follows the philosophy of empathy:“ Don’ t do to others what you would not want them to do to you” … a loser follows the philosophy,“ Do it to others before they do it to you.”
A WINNER makes it happen … a loser lets it happen.
SO, IF YOU WANT YOUR PLAYERS TO BE WINNERS, THET MUST THINK LIKE WINNERS … ACT LIKE WINNERS … AND SOONER THAN YOU THINK, THEY WILL BE WINNERS!
