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 help 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 says, “It may be difficult but it's possible”; the Loser says, “It may be possible but it's too difficult.” When a Winner makes a mistake, he says, “I was wrong”; when a Loser makes a mistake, he says, “It wasn’t my fault.” A Winner makes commitments; a Loser makes promises. Winners have dreams; losers have schemes. Winners say, “I must do something”; losers say, “Something must be done.” Winners are a part of the team; losers are apart from the team. Winners see the gain; losers see pain. Winners see possibilities; losers see problems. Winners believe in win/win; losers believe for them to win someone has to lose. Winners see the potential; losers see the past. Winners are like a thermostat; losers are like thermometers. Winners choose what they say; losers say what they choose. Winners use hard arguments, but soft words; losers use soft arguments, but hard words; Winners stand firm on values but compromise on petty things; losers stand firm on petty things but compromise on values. Winners follow the philosophy of empathy: “Don’t do to others what you don’t want them to do to you”; losers follow the philosophy, “Do it to others before they do it to you.” Winners make it happen; losers let it happen.
