Why some people are winners and others are losers


In life you see some people who are winners and others who are losers. Some people achieve much and others fail at everything. Is it about ability? Some people just have a lot more ability than others? I don’t think that ability is usually the main reason people are successful. Or lack of ability is the reason people are unsuccessful.


I would say winning is all about the right attitudes and the habit of hard work. To achieve anything that is difficult to do you must first believe you can do it — and be determined to do it. The difference between winner and loser is usually about attitude.


Life is all about outlooks, attitudes, values and the right habits — not abilities.


If you start out with the wrong outlooks, attitudes, and values — and the wrong habits — you must come to realize the cause of your problem if you want to be successful. That requires thought, reflection, introspection, questioning, self-examination. I don’t think that most people who are on the losing path ever discover their error. They just keep going on in the same wrong ways.


Why is it that orientals (Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese) here in the United States do so much better than whites or other racial groups in school? It is all about attitude and habit.
