Losers take chances; winners make choices.

Optimism boosts your energy and focuses your sights on reaching your goals, rather than wallowing in your setbacks.

Positive self-expectancy is the first, most outwardly identifiable quality of a top-achieving, winning human being. Positive self-expectancy is pure and simple optimism: real enthusiasm for everything you do... [while] expecting the most favorable result from your own actions. There never was a winner who didn't expect to win in advance. Winners understand that life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. And they know that you usually get what you expect in the long run.

Stop rationalizing, stop stewing. Get up out of your chair and start doing.

Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep.

Life is based on growth and finding new challenges to face and overcome, new contributions to make to society, and constantly coming to a better understanding of yourself and the universe in which you live.

Live each day as if was your last, not in the future, not in the past. You may not get what you want, but, in the long run, you will get what you expect.
