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 is possible.” The loser says, “It may be possible, but it is too difficult.” Be a winner.

Rules to live by.

1. Laugh at yourself and at life.
2. Never neglect the little things.
3. Welcome every morning with a smile.
4. Set goals for each day - not long and difficult projects - but small chores that will take you, step by step, toward your dream.

A Blueprint for Achievement.

Believe while others are doubting.
Plan while others are playing.
Study while others are sleeping.
Decide while others are delaying.
Prepare while others are daydreaming.
Begin while others are procrastinating.
Work while others are wishing.
Save while others are spending.
Listen while others are talking.
Smile while others are pouting.
Commend while others are criticizing.
Persist while others are quitting.

Attitude is the master key to life’s little locks.

The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.
~Abraham Lincoln



To challenge yourself is no different than to give yourself a chance.


If at first you don’t succeed, try reading the instructions.

It is difficult to steer a parked car, so get moving.
~Henrietta Mears


Life does not consist mainly, or even largely, of facts and happenings. It consists mainly of the storm of thought that is forever through one’s head.
~Mark Twain


If you have no critics, you’ll likely have no success.

When you come to the end of your rope… tie a knot and hang on.
~Franklin D Roosevelt



There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as thought everything is a miracle.
~Albert Einstein


The rainbow of life follow the storm.

To accomplish great things, we most not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

You know what the best thing about graduating was. It wasn't gifts, cards, or money. It was coming home at 11 o'clock after being gone for five hours and seeing the look on my puppy's face. He was so excited to see us. He seems to know what is going on and he gave me a big kiss.

Airman - May 24, 2007 07:17 PM (GMT)

Sandecker Fan - June 28, 2007 04:00 AM (GMT)
I'm thinking she's probably the one with the light blue gown.
