Be a different & make a different




Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

How to be a Winner
DEFINATION...
You are a winner if you keep achieving your stretch goals and are happy in your own skin.
A Win is a Win-Win
"The winners stun us not by their cleverness, but by the fact that every tiny aspect of the business is just a touch better than the norm." - Tim Peters
Things work out best for those who make the best of the way the things work out.
Seeing Life Differently
The secret of winning in life lies in seeing life differently - in its different shades and outcomes. "Life becomes a path that leads to achievements. Winners do not value life as much as what they can do with it. For them life is not a tedious journey from the womb to the tomb. It is a journey about crossing milestones and looking forward to new ones."4
