Winners & Losers

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

A winner makes commitments; a loser makes promises.

A winner says, "I'm good, but not as good as I ought to be"; a loser says, "I'm not as bad as a lot of other people."

A winner credits his "good luck" for winning - even though it wasn't his good luck; a loser blames his "bad luck" for losing - even though it wasn't his bad luck.

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

A winner respects those who are superior to him and tries to learn from them; a loser resents the superiority of others and tries to find chinks in their armor.

A winner does more than his job; a loser says, "I only work here."

A winner says, "I fell"; a loser says, "Somebody pushed me."
