Taken from Fight like a tiger, Win like a champion book
Failure
Failure does not mean i’m a failure;
It does mean I have not yet succeeded.
Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing;
It does mean I have learned something.
Failure does not mean I have been a fool;
It does mean I have enough faith to experiment.
Failure does not mean I have disgraced;
It does mean I have dared to try.
Failure does not mean I don’t have it;
It does mean I have something to do in a different way
Failure does not mean I am inferior;
It does mean I am not perfect.
Failure does not mean I have wasted my life;
It does mean that I have an excuse to start over.
Failure does not mean that I should give up;
It does mean that I should try harder.
Failure does not mean that I will never make it;
It does mean that I need more practice.
Winner vs loser
The winner is always part of the answer;
The loser is always part of the problem.
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 in every answer.
The winner goes through a problem;
The loser goes around a problem & never gets to it.
The winner says, “It may be difficult, but it’s possible;”
The loser says, “ It may be possible, but it’s too difficult.”
The winner thinks, “ I’m good, but not as good as I should or could be.”
The loser thinks, “I’m not as bad as some of the others.”
The winner makes commitment;
The loser makes promises.
The winner focuses the gain;
The loser focuses the pain.
The winner is like a thermostat;
The loser is like a thermometer.
The winner makes it happen;
The loser let it happen.
Quiters never win; winners never quit
