Winners Are People Like You

Winners take chances.

Like everyone else, they fear failing,

but they refuse to let fear control them.

Winners don't give up.

When life gets rough, they hang in

until the going gets better.

Winners are flexible.

They realize there is more than one way

and are willing to try others.

Winners know they are not perfect.

They respect their weaknesses

while making the most of their strengths.

Winners fall, but they don't stay down.

They stubbornly refuse to let a fall

keep them from climbing...

Winners don't blame fate for their failures

nor luck for their successes.

Winners accept responsibility for their lives.

Winners are positive thinkers

who see good in all things.

From the ordinary, they make the extraordinary.

Winners believe in the path they have chosen

even when it's hard,

even when others can't see where they are going,

Winners are patient.

They know a goal is only as worthy

as the effort that's required to achieve it.

Winners are people like you.

They make this world a better place to be.
