We all love winners. We all wanted to be one. There's nothing wrong to want to be one. What will be unacceptable is to believe and strive to be losers.

Let's learn the differences between a winner and a loser and learn how to become successful in life (author unknown).

  1. 1. A winner makes mistakes and says: "I was wrong. " A loser says: "It wasn't my fault."
  1. 2. A winner credits his good luck for winning even though it wasn't luck. A loser credits his bad luck for losing, but it wasn't luck.
  2. 3. A winner works harder than a loser and has more time. A loser is always "too busy,"  too busy staying a failure.
  3. 4. A winner goes through a problem. A loser goes around it.
  4.  
  5. 5. A winner shows he/she's sorry by making up for it. A loser says he/she's sorry but he/she does the same thing next time.
  6. 6. A winner knows what to fight for and what to compromise on. A loser compromises on what he/she should not and fights for what isn't worth fighting for. Every day is a battle of life and it is very important that we are fighting for the right things and not wasting out time with trivial matters.
  7. 7. A winner says: "I'm good, but not as good as I ought to be."  A loser says, "Well, I'm not as bad as a lot of people.”  A loser looks down at those who've not yet achieved the position he/she has. A winner looks up to where he/she is going.
  8. 8. A winner respects those who are superior to him/her and tries to learn from them. A loser resents those who are superior to him/her and tries to find fault.
  9. 9. A winner is responsible for more than his/her job. A loser says: "I only work here."
  10. 10. A winner says: "There ought to be a better way of doing it." A loser says: "why change it? That's the way it's always been done."

           

When we look back and wonder how we ever made it thru the years, we realize it's not because we've been clever but because God has been wise; not because we've been strong but because God has been mighty; not because we've been consistent but because God has been faithful. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain.
