1) Winners Learn New Things Every Day
You can’t be a winner without being a lifelong learner. You can’t be a winner in life without taking the extra step of acquiring more knowledge. Most young people from 12-20 years old rely on schools to give them knowledge. That’s something better from nothing. Yet, not enough. Why don’t take the extra step and start reading more on your own? That way you won’t be working at the same underpaid job at 24 like you did when you were 15. Also, winners keep learning after they graduate. Learning never stops for a winner. Warren Buffet is so rich because he is a lifelong learner. He is 85 years old and still reads and learns new stuff. Warren Buffet is a winner.
The losers stop learning after graduation. That’s about 23-28.
Then, they may learn something new, but periodically. They attend a seminar once a year. They read a book when on vacation. No! Acquisition of knowledge must be daily and consistent. It will help you no matter what you are trying to accomplish.
Want to make more money? => Learn. Then, earn.
Want to succeed in business? => Outsmart your competition.
Want to be an artist? => Broaden your horizons.
Want to be a winner? => Be a lifelong learner.
2) Winners Put Power Over Desire
Winners take control of their thoughts and emotions. Losers, however, let their desires control their lives. From small choices like eating pizza when you are trying to reduce your body fat, more important ones – like buying a fancy car to show off (when you can’t afford it and get a loan to pay for it). A winner stays consistently with his goals and plans. He never acts on desire. And never lets the desires to control his actions. Otherwise, these goals and plans will remain dreams…There is no other way around it. You can’t simply sit on your sofa and watch TV for hours when you are broke and try to build your business.
