THE CHAMPIONS
Champions are not made in a gym
Champions are made from something
They have deep inside them
A desire; a dream; a vision
They have to have last minute stamina
They have to be a little faster
They have to have the skill and the will
But the WILL must be STRONGER than the SKILL
(Mohammed Ali)
ATTITUDE
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life
Attitude to me is more important that facts
We cannot change our past
We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way
We cannot change the inevitable
The only thing we can do is play on the string we have
And that is our attitude
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me
And 90% how I react to it.
And so it is to you
We are in charge of our attitudes
(Charles R. Swindoll)
The winner is always part of the answer
The loser is always part of the problem
The winner says, “Let me do it for you”.
The loser says, “That’s not my job”.
The winner sees an answer for every problem
The loser sees a problem in every answer
The winner goes through a problem
The loser goes around the problem and never gets to it.
The winner says, “It may be difficult, but it’s possible”.
The loser says, “It may be possible, but it’s too difficult”.
The winner thinks, “I’m good, but not as good as I should or could be”.
The loser thinks, “I’m not as bad as some of the others”.
The winner makes commitment
The loser makes promises
The winner focuses the gain
The loser focuses the pain
The winner is like a thermostat
The winner is like a thermometer
The winner makes it happen
The loser let it happen
Quitters never win; winners never quit.
BY CHANGING YOUR THINKING
By changing your thinking
You change your beliefs
When you change your beliefs
You change your expectations
When you change your expectations
You change your attitude
When you change your attitude
You change your behavior
When you change your behavior you change your performance
When you change your performance
You change your life!
LIFE IS
Life is an opportunity, benefit from it
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is a dream, realize it
Life is a challenge, meet it
Life is a duty, complete it
Life is a game, play it
Life is a promise, fulfill it
Life is sorrow, overcome it
Life is a song, sing it
Life is a struggle, accept it
Life is a tragedy, confront it
Life is an adventure, dare it
Life is a luck, make it
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
(mother Theresa)
FAILURE
Failure does not mean I am a failure
It does mean I have not yet succeeded
Failure does not mean I have accomplished nothing
It does mean I have learned something
Failure does not mean I have been a fool
It does mean I have enough faith to experiment
Failure does not mean I have disgraced
It does mean I have dared to try
Failure does not mean I dont have it
It does mean I have something to do in a different way
Failure does not mean I am inferior
It does mean I am not perfect
Failure does not mean I have wasted my life
It does mean that I have an excuse to start over
Failure does not mean that I should give up
I does mean that I should try harder
Failure does not mean that I will never make it
It does mean that I need more practice
RISKS
To love is to risk not being loved in return
To live is to risk dying
To hope is to risk despair
To try is to risk failure
But risks must be taken
Because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing
The person who risks nothing
Does nothing, has nothing and is nothing
They may avoid suffering and sorrow
But they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love or live
Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves
They have forfeited their freedom
Only a person who risks is free
YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT TO BE
There is inside you all of the potential to be whatever you want to be
All of the energy to do whatever you want to do
Imagine yourselves as you would like to be
Doing what you want to do
And each day, take one step
Towards your dream
And though at times it may seem too
Difficult to continue
Hold on your dream
One morning you will awake to find
That you are the person you dreamed of
Doing what you wanted to do
Simply because you had the courage
To believe in your potential
And to hold on your dream
(Donna Levine)
WHO AM I?
I am your constant companion
I am your greatest helper or haviest burden
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure
I am completely at your command
Half the things you do might just as well turn over to me
and I will be able to do them
quickly and correctly
I am easily managed-You must merely be firm with me
Show me exactly how you want something done
And after a few lessons,
I will do it automatically.
I am the servant of all great people and alas,
Of all failures as well
Those who are great, I have made great
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine
Plus the intelligence of a human
You may run me for a profit or run me for ruin
It makes no difference to me
Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will place the world at your feet
Be easy with me and I will destroy you
Who am I? I am Habit.
TODAY IS THE VERY FIRST DAY
OF THE REST OF MY LIFE
This is the beginning of a New day
I can waste it or use it for good
But what I do today is important
Because I am exchanging a day of my life for it
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever
Leaving in it’s place something that I have traded for it
I want it to be gain and not loss, good and not evil
Success and not failure, in order that I not regret
The price I have paid for it
I will give 100% of my self just for today
For you never fail
Until you stop trying
I will be the kind of person I have always wanted to be
I have been giving this day to use as I will
THE WORLD NEEDS MEN
WHO cannot be bought
WHOSE word is their bond
WHO put character above wealth
Who possess opinions and a will
Who are larger than their vocations
Who do not hesitate to take chances
Who will not lose their individualityin a crowd
Who will make no compromise with wrong
Who will not say they do it “because everybody else do it”
Who are true to their friends in adversity as well as in prosperity
Who do not believe that shrewdness, cunning and hardheadedness
are the best qualities for winning success
who are not ashamed or afraid to stand for the truth
when it is unpopular
who can say “no” with emphasis, although
all the rest of the world says “yes”
whose ambitions are not confined to their own selfish desires.
BE THANKFUL
Be thankful that you dont already have everything you desire
If you did, what would there be took forward to?
Be thankful when you dont know something
For it gives you the opportunity to learn
Be thankful for the difficult times
During those times you grow
Be thankful for your limitations
Because they give you opportunities for improvement
Be thankful for each new challenge
Because it will build your strength and character
Be thankful for your mistakes
They will teach you valuable lessons
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary
Because it means you’ve made a difference
It’s easy to be thankful for the good things
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those
Who are also thankful for the setbacks
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
And they can become your blessings
EVERY WINNER HAS SCARS
Your life is made up of a series of experiences
Each one will make you stronger
Even though sometimes it will be hard for you to realize it
Life is your classroom in which you are being tasted, tried and passed
Always try to stay in the midst of life and activity
Dont isolate yourself from the action
Be among people and things, among troubles, difficulties and obstacles
Your character develops itself in the stream of life
Life expects you to make those grade school chairs so small
Learn quickly that the setbacks and grief’s you endure
Actually help you in your march forward to success
The world was built to develop your character
FAITH
When we come to the edge of all that we know
And are about to step off into the unknown
Faith is knowing one of two things will happen
Either there will be a ledge
Something solid to stand on
Or
You’ll be taught how to fly
