How to be a Winner

[Likwid24]

I got this list from a website I came across about winners. Most of them are excellent habits. I'd probably take out 43-46.

There’s been a lot of talk lately about “Winning†although celebrity Charlie Sheen is the trend setter for the said word he may not be the perfect role model for it. We do have below a defined list of 100 things a winner does in his or her day to day life that defines you as a “Winnerâ€.

Going to apply one of these every day (building up/reminding me of the habits I already have, and those that need to be improved).

I have a feeling I'm going to be shouting out 'Winning!' every few days hahah, thanks for sharing.

My 3 year old regularly asks, at very odd times: "Are we WINNING??". Like building sandcastles, he will spontaneously ask that, or driving in the car. I've always chalked it up to his obsession with running fast, racing everywhere he goes, but hate that I think of damn Charlie Sheen every time he asks. THANK YOU for giving me a much better mental reference for the future.

And for the record: building sandcastles, yes--winning!

I'm still in High School. Every day I'm taught the Periodic Table, calculus integrals, algorithms, English, Spanish, Laws of our Universe, ect. But we never learn how to become a "Winner".

I'm glad I came across this
