Act like a winner
You need to
like the things that need to be done. St. Francis of Assisi says, “Start by
doing what is necessary, then what is possible and suddenly your are doing the
impossible.”
If you want to be a winner:
- Have faith in your convictions
- Be willing to accept responsibility
- Develop an optimistic attitude
- Learn to motivate yourself
- Increase your level of aspiration
- Start your day on a positive note
- Avoid fear of failure.
- Act like an achiever. Don't say, “Someday, I'll set my
goals” Rather say, “I'm working on the goals I've set”.
- Be aware of the importance of your goals.
- Gather all information needed to achieve what you are
aiming for
