As I set here trying to think of something to write about today I am drawn to a plaque I have had on my office wall for the past 20'ish years. I have used this poem as my motivator for all of these years and shared it often. There was even a period of time when I typed it out, enlarged the print, and then posted it on my refrigerator so my boys could see it every morning before they left for school.
Whoever wrote it sum up a lot about business and life. As I have gone through my life and business career I have found that the largest determining factor of my success in life was my attitude about it. I choose whether I am going to win at a task or whether I will lose. I choose if I want to be happy or I want to be miserable.
As you read through the poem decide how you want to live your life.
Winner vs. Loser
The Winner - is always part of the answer;
The Loser - is always part of the problem;
The Winner - always has a program;
The Loser - always has an excuse;
The Winner - says "Let me do it for you;"
The Loser - says "That's not my job;"
The Winner - sees an answer for every problem;
The Loser - sees a problem for every answer;
The Winner - sees a green near every sand trap;
The Loser - sees two or three sand traps near every green;
The Winner - says "It may be difficult but it's possible;"
The Loser - says "It may be possible but it's too difficult."
