Are You A Winner??????

Micheal Jordan

By definition via dictionary.com the word "Winner" is defined as "a person, situation or outcome whereby the winner receives all the prizes or rewards.", but I define a Winner in simpler terms as A PERSON THAT REFUSES TO GIVE UP!

To me, a winner is defined more so by their refusal to give in to defeat than by their representation of prestigious awards. Let's face it, both criticism & praise are inevitable, but if we give our ALL regardless who's present or absent, we'll be Winners regardless! So what defines a Winner?

These characteristics!

A Winner strives to top yesterdays bad or good performance. A Winner gives back to others in some way, shape or form. A Winner leads by example. A Winner encourages others to do what is right, despite how the world many feel. A Winner's resilient attitude motivates them to be either be an advocate or assailant of any cause they theoretically believe in . A Winner................NEVER QUITS.... which makes it even harder to ever lose, which is why I chose my mother to represent my definition of Winner!

Mom and Me

My mother, one of the sweetest & most loving woman i know, never won a championship ring. She was never a guess speaker on the Tonight Show, never sign an autograph like a Pro Bowl Eagle quarterback Mike Vick or Yankees Short Stop Derek Jetter. She never made a circus touchdown catch like Pro Bowl Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald. She never had a Triple Double like Heat forward all-star LeBron James. She never pitch a perfect game like Phillies ace Roy Halladay,.....but she is a champion in life because of her makes up everything with her resilient attitude! Which is why she's a winner!

As a friend, wife,mother & boss she always gave her everything & despite things not always turning out the way she would've like them to, she never gave into defeat. She always encouraged her friends, despite her friends not always agreeing with her prospective. She always encouraged my father to act right, despite him not always acting right. She always encouraged her children to do what was right, despite us not always wanting to listen. She always encouraged her workers to be better than her, despite them not always wanting to be at work. She NEVER gave into defeat, because of her Never Die Attitude which is why she is a Winner!

So do you have what it takes to be a Winner? Are you the type that strives for a better tomorrow & do you willingly give back to others? Are you a leader that lead by example? Do you encourage others to do what is right despite the opposition?

I think you are a Winner & regardless where you may be or what you're going thru, never give into defeat. Always remember that Winners Never Quit, but Quitters Never Win & by becoming A PERSON THAT REFUSES TO GIVE UP, you'll establish yourself as a Winner!
