Resiliency
This child will not be the tallest, nor
the strongest, nor the most fairbut this child
will have the most precious gift of all. This
child will have the gift of resiliency.
Regardless of what happens, this child will
always try again. After every failure, no
matter how many, no matter how broken the heart,
this child will rise again. - Dr. Micheal
Johnson Cowboys and Angels

Personal Responsibility Success or Failure
It is your choiceNo Excuses! Life Aint
FairSo What? The world doesnt owe you a
living, much less prosperity. The United States
of America only guarantees Life, Liberty, and
the Pursuit of Happiness. Happiness is not a
constitutional right you only have the right to
be allowed to allowed to go for it. When I talk
about losers, whiners, wimps, and crybabies, Im
describing people who justify failure by blaming
external forces in their lives. I am talking
directly about and directly to those people who
believe they have the right to give up and lay
down because they think life isnt fair. One
thing prosperous people have in common is
theyve taken charge of their lives. No
Excuses! Jim Ziegler, Ziegler SuperSystems,
Inc. Winning is not success, nor is losing
failure-- Tip Realize that success isnt about
fair, success is about you coming up with
clear goals, developing a plan and figuring out
how to pull it off anyway. Joe Verde,

Mental Demands Pressure and Reaction vs. Acting
Lets all start to recognize our emotions
and attitudes and try to figure out which ones
are harmful to us and interfering with our
wins. Next, get focused on exactly what you
want out of life. I want you to manage and
control what your little voices are saying to you
and start living the life youve always wanted
for yourself. Dr. James Will, The Power
of Self-Talk Toolkit Its always been true
that your attitude controls your success and
the winners have those exceptional positive
attitudes on their side. Winners expect to win
and because they do, they see the opportunities
that the losing side trips over. Joe
Verde, The Joe Verde Group
