"Of all animals kept for the recreation of mankind, the horse is alone capable of exciting a passion that shall be absolutely hopeless." (Bret Harte; 1836-1902)
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 works harder than a loser and has more time; A loser is always "too busy" to do what is necessary.
A winner goes through a problem; A loser goes around it, and never gets past it.
A winner makes commitments; A loser makes promises.
A winner says, "I'm good, but not as good as I ought to be;" A loser says, "I'm not as bad as a lot of other people."
A winner listens A loser just waits until it's his turn to talk.
A winner respects those who are superior to him and tries to learn something from them; A loser resents those who are superior to him and tries to find chinks in their armor.
A winner feels responsible for more than his job; A loser says, "I only work here."
A winner says, "There ought to be a better way to do it;"
