The 10 Qualities of a Total Winner

Quality 1:  Positive Self-Expectancy 

"Life is a self fulfilling prophecy. True winners go into every event expecting to win."
Life is all about Having a positive mindset into everything. You have to be positive about everything you do because if you have a negative mindset you are always looking into failure. When thinking negative you always wish yourself the worst, you always think of every bad thing that can possibly happen. When you decide to do something you always have to have that " I am smart, i am positive. I can do this" you have to hype yourself up, you have to have some positive self motivation. We all know we dont always win but it is always good to give it your all even at your lowest. You always have to think you will always win because even when you dont win, you actually win because at least you tried, at least you put effort. Effort is what really counts. 

Quality 2: Positive Self-Motivation 

"True winners dig deep and find motivation inside themselves to get through that tough task or to learn a new skill."

True winners don't go for less, they go for more. They find motivation in small things and not just big things. Motivation is all about big and small opportunities.  They learn new skills through hard task, tasks theyve never had before. You learn and you use those new skills for the future. You motivate yourself to do better and to learn new things. Winning isnt just about the tittle, its about knowing you actually out effort in something you had no idea you would be able to do. Its about finding motivation in a lot of things. There is nothing better than having positive self motivation because it lifts you up to becoming a better person. You achieve alot more with your own motivation.

Quality 3: Positive Self-Image

True winners are confident and view themselves as competent, valuable human beings.

Quality 4: Positive Self-Direction

You gotta have direction if you are going to go anywhere. True winners know where they are going. Their sense of direction comes from the self and not from outside influences like parents or friends.

Positive Self-Direction is to know or have an idea of what or where you are going. When you are self direction you are well organized with your schedule. When you have an idea of what you are aiming for than you automatically become a true winner. Having a schedule set up, it can guide you to how and where you want to end up. You should be able to guide yourself and put standards to reaching your goal, not needing anyone's opinions or directions.

Quality 6: Positive Self-Discipline

You have to discipline yourself or else someone else will discipline you into doing what they want you to do. Total winners have the power to discipline and take control of their lives.

Positive self-discipline means having the idea on how to behave and what to do. When it is self discipline you learn a lot more, you gather a lot more respect. Discipline is about maturity and knowing whats good from right. It also means knowing how to control yourself,your emotions. When you dont have discipline its harder to get along with others. When not having discipline others will try to come to discipline you and you wont like it, they will try to handle everything you say and do. They will want you to do things you might not like or even mind putting in effort. You have to have self discipline to be the true winner because you can at least say you are self taught, not in need of anyone's help.

Quality 8: Positive Self-Dimension

Total winners like in the present. They know that now is all there is. They don’t get caught up in the past or worry about the future. They simply handle the business that they can handle which is the stuff going on today, now.

 Total winners focus on what is going on today. All there is to worry about is what might go on today,not tomorrow. Total winners do not worry about what happen months ago, nor what might happen in the future. You cant change the past and you cant control the future. Yes, you can control your actions but not what might happen and how it might happen. You have to worry about whats going in right now because it can affect the future but only with actions.

Quality 9: Positive Self-Awareness
Total winners are aware of their power. They understand that they can be anything with enough effort and determination.

Being Positive Self-Awareness means to be on track with everything and knowing how to control it. These people are aware of how much they can do and destroy. Their mindsets are are always positive. They understand that if effort is being added they know they will most likely achieve. Determination can bring a lot of good opportunities to come your way. 

Quality 10: Positive Action

Total winners take positive action in their business and with their friends and family. They are uplifting and motivating individuals who inspire the best from themselves and other

     Taking positive actions is always the right call. Taking positive actions can be helpful for you and others. When taking positive actions you think of yourself and the results of others. You have the right to whether chose a positive action or a negative action.  Motivation comes upon yourself and maybe a little push from people you love the most. Having positive actions can lead to people looking up to you. Having positive actions can bring good vibes. 

Ten Tips for Being More Truthful

Barbara A. Lewis

Wife, mother, religious worker, national award-winning author and educator  

The Ten Tips

1. Make a commitment to tell the truth.
2. Tell someone about your commitment.
3. Think before you give a dishonest answer, explanation, sarcasm, or reason.
4. Be careful of when and how you use exaggeration, sarcasm, or irony.
5. Be careful not to twist the truth or leave out part of it.
6. Don't indulge in little white lies.
7. Watch out for silent lies.
8. When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse.
9. Talk to yourself.
10. Treat yourself when you tell the truth.

All these tips help you out for the future. Making a commitment to tell the truth is always important because  you should never lie no matter the reasons. Telling someone of your commitment and goal you are trying to reach is important so you can have someone to remind you of it. Sometimes its better to give your honest opinion even when it might hurt others, it is better to be honest than to lie about it. Too much sarcasm can cause an argument because you might not be taking something serious. When people tell others what they hesrd they usually tend to leave out something or they add something to it, always keep it the same, dont go around making false statements. You should never go along with someone that is lying.When you feel like you are about to start saying lies just remember you are better than that. Be a CTR person. Talk to yourself about good things and take the bad things out. When you are being honest, take a break and relax your body and mind.

Not just time but your energy and your head into it as well. When you committe you stick to it, you stay loyal to it and only that one thing. In a friendship it takes a lot not just effort from one side but from both sides. 

                                               

Block 4: Loyalty

"To yourself and to all those depending upon you. Keep your self-respect."
4. Loyalty has to be one of the most important things in life. Loyalty is genuinely being and caring for a person. Being there for them and being supportive. When you  have a lot of loyalty people usually look for you to depend on. They come to you because they know you can be dependable and a trustful person. Just like others you have to have respect for yourself and others will respect you even more. 

Block 5: Cooperation

"With all levels of your co-workers. Listen if you want to be heard. Be interested in finding the best way, not in having your own way. "

5.  Cooperation is putting part in things others are doing to combine all the ideas into one. It's about respecting others decisions. It's about getting effort from each and every person from the group. You have to give repect to get respect. One way of showing respect can be by listening to what others have to say without interupting her. It's always about to figuring things the right and proper way rather than to just to do them the way you think they may be right.  

Block 6: Ambition (For noble goals)

6. its a good thing to have ambitions. Ambitions are  a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. There is good and bad ambitions in these world. The good kind are the ones that ypu want so bad but you want to get it the right way. The bad ambition may be when you want something so bad that you will do anything to get it whether you have to do it the wrong way, by cheating.

When controlling your actions it can be so helpful and it makes you responsible because you are aware of your decisions , you usually become a good decision maker. When having control of your emotions it can be the best thing because when you have control over your emotions its literally everything. You dont always need  a reaction to everything that is handed to you. When having control over emotions because you learn how to control your reactions, words, feelings and you get yourself out of good situations. When having a good judgement on others is important because you dont always have to be so negative you can be positive at times. 

Block 8: Alertness

"Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve."

When being alerted you always have to be on a look out. You have to observe the people around you. You also have to observe things that surround you. When you stay open minded you have a better way of understanding things. You have to always have in mind that its okay to developed new things everyday.

Block 9: Initiative

"Cultivate the ability to make decisions and think alone. Do not be afraid of failure, but learn from it."

Initiative means the ability to assess and initiate things independently. To be able to do things alone without needing anyone else. Doing things for yourself and feeeling okay with everything. Not needing anyones opinions because you know whats right for yourself. Making yourself happy with the decisions you make. Its okay to fail things its not all about completing and accomplishing everything the best try. Sometimes it takes more than one, two,three or even more tries to succedd. Failing is about being able to recognize the mistakes and wanting to fix them to better yourself. Its all about being your own leader.

Block 10: Intentness

"Set a realistic goal. Concentrate on its achievement by resisting all temptations and being determined and persistent."
Intentness means firmly fixed; determined and concentrated. When being firmly fixed you know what you are up to. You know what is on  your agenda and upcoming events into oyur life. You have to be determined to doing your work or doing things you are assign to in life. Being concentrated if your daily stuff that has to get down means putting things that dont matter to the side. When you concentrate oyu dont pay attention to other things other than what has to get done. By setting a goal and sticking to it, it can be so helpful and way easier to reach that goal. Resisting on doing uncertain things is a good thing. It is a good thing because when you try achieving things sometimes you fail. Whe you means to try harder and learn from the given mistakes before. We all have temptations and sometimes we let that get into our world and it messes up things.Its always good to be persistent in everything because that only means you are always on it.

Block 11: Sincerity (keeps friends)

Sincerity means the quality of being free from pretense, deceit, or hypocrisy. When you are sincerity a lot of people want to be around you. Being sincere can make a lot more than just being really honest. Being honest is the best thing a person can ever bring to you. Being honest makes you a better person because when you are honest you are telling the truth. People like to lie a lot to others about stuff. But really what do you get out of lying?I think getting caught in the lie is worst because you have to go through that embarrassment. When you are sincere people come to you a lot more often because of the way you are. They feel like they can count on you. They feel as they can say and do anything around you without you judging them. Its about looking for one another, its about trying to be the best for the people around you. 
 

Block 12: Adaptability (to any situation)
Adaptability is when you get use to something or someone. You start to feel safe and comfortable within. Its like a life planning journal you have to follow the steps and ways.

Animals have to adapt to the weather and where they live.Us as humans we have to adapt to the way we live. We have to adapt to where we go and what we do.

It is getting out your way to receive the same effort from others. Having to think for others and combine ideas and making it work. We have to all agree on the same thing and make everything work.  

Block 16: Honesty

 (in thought and action)

"Honesty is the best policy." (Ben Franklin)

Honesty is when you don't lie about things. Being honest can be when  they ask you an specific question and you answer what you really think of it instead of lying. Lying is the opposite of honesty. When thinking about what to say you may say it and take an action on it. I think being honest can be one of the greatest things in the world. Being honest can help a person out in correcting their errors and improving lots of things. When someone asks about your honest opinion its best if you don't lie because remember you are trying to help them out instead of lying and dragging them. Being honest can bring you lots of good opportunities because people will see that they can count on you and you will keep a secret. 

Block 18: Poise

"Just being yourself. Being at ease in any situation."

Poise means being graceful and elegant bearing in a person. Being yourself instead of having to pretend you are someone else is so much better. When  you are yourself things are easier and better for you. People like you for being yourself and not for trying to fit in. Being fine with anything in any situation more like being calm. Being at peace with yourself can be a good thing you dont worry about anything, so its less stress. It is being at balance with your life and life situations.

Block 19: Confidence 

"Thorough preparation breeds confidence" Gerald Bell in
"The Carolina Way"

Confidence is when you believe in yourself. Confidence is can be when you have so much hope in getting something right. Confidence can be to always think positive instead of negative. Preparing yourself and being positive about certain things, situations and other stuff can make you become a better person. It can prepare you for different situations. Confidence can be used when presenting presentations, work related and school stuff. When you are confident you get good  outcomes of the situations. Being confident can boost your esteem higher, which is a good thing.

Block 20: Reliability (creates respect)

Reliability is when you can count on somebody for something and you know you can trust them.For example i rely on Daisy and Fatima because i know i can trust them and they are responsible. Reliability is being responsible for yourself and others. When people rely on you that means they trust you a lot and they believe they can count on you for everything. People respect you more and they come to you for help because they know you are a good person.

Block 21: Fight (determined effort)

When you fight for something good like maintaining your grades good.

             You can also work so hard to win of the fight for becoming something important in school like maybe the vice president. Fight may also mean when you are determined to get something done. 

Block 22: Competitive Greatness

" Be at your best when your best is needed. Enjoyment of a difficult challenge."

Competitive means when you like to challenge yourself without cheating. You like to go against other people whether you lose or win. It is always good to be at your best all the time. Good behavior makes a person look better, neater and more responsible. Giving it your best can get you to completing your goals and issues. When being competitive you have to enjoy what you are doing. You have to get the best out of it while winning or losing. Being competitive is a good thing because you learn a lot from losing to winning. When being competitive you need to be 100% honest about stuff you do. 

Block 23: Integrity (purity of intention)

Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles;moral uprightness .Having integrity is a good quality because it includes being honest. Having to know what you believe and keeping it that way which would be having good morals. Having good morals doesn't only mean about that it also means having to have standards and living up to them.

Block 25: Patience (good things take time)
Patience means being able to control your emotions and actions towards anything. Having patience is wanting to do something when you shouldn't but being able to control yourself. I believe in the saying, " if you are patient good things come your way". I truly believe if you are patience good things actually do come your way. I feel like in every situation or atleast a couple of times you will need to learn how to be patient. When you work you have to be patient with the customers. When you work you sometimes have to be patient with your coworkers. When you come to school you have to be patient with your partners, specially when it includes a group project.

TIRED

I am tired, i am very stressed with everything. On the week days i go to school, and on the weekends i work all day. People are lucky they get to stay in all morning to sleep, while i have to be up early ready to go to work. I usually don't go out anywhere at least not as much as before because i feel exhausted. In a way i love working because i get to buy my own stuff, i get to buy my family things and taking them out to eat. But i also love it because i feel responsible having to deal with two or more things at the same time. Saving money is a good thing for the future. Usually Fridays right after i come out of school i go into work and i come out till the night. When i get to do things with my friends i get excited because i rarely get to do that. I'm also tired of being such a good person to people that only take advantage. 

Key 1: Clarity

"Have vision. Determine what you want to be, do or have in life.  Have a sense of direction and know where you’re going.  If you do not have clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."

 -This means that you might have an idea of what you are chasing in life. Also, that you might have put something together and aiming for it. Being clarified can get you somewhere in life. It can bring you so much happiness and good things. 

Key 2: Competence

"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

- This quote is trying to explain that if you stay among something and stay true to it good things may come to you. Staying true and committed to something can bring you good and bad opportunities. Good opportunities because things you may wanted or need can come to you. And bad opportunities because sometimes you may not know how to react to it so you chose dumb, poor decisions that can cause you a lot of problems. If you go for  more, you may receive more than the unexpected. The more effort you put into something the more you get back in return. I like to commit to certain things because i know im going to get so much in return maybe not now but the future. 

Key 4: common sense 

• Train your mind
• think things through
• listen to your intuition
• learn from setbacks

       This key means that you have to set your head to it. You have to have everything clear and set goals for it. You also have to get your mind use to it, use to the changes. Before making a decision you have to be open minded and chose whether you want to do certain things. You have to put your mind to it and realize when things are good and when things are bad.Sometimes people make decisions that aren't the best but aren't the baddest. Its all about thinking and gathering information on what to chose and what not to do. Listening to your intuition may help sometimes because it tells you to do certain things because it feels like those are the right decisions. But we shouldn't always listen to that because it can be wrong as well. learning from set backs may be a lesson in life in what you should and shouldn't do, so it wont ever repeat. It pushes you more into wanting to try new things or to chase them more. In some cases it can be that you want to better your decisions and become a better decision maker.

Key 5: Creativity

"Except the fact that every human being is a genius.  The hallmark of creativity is asking questions.  The people who are most creative ask the most questions."

 Every person is smart, maybe in their own ways. Some of us have it in an  easier way and other of us have it in an easier way. People that pay attention and asks questions can gain more intelligence. Also by asking many questions you can get a better understanding of whatever topic it may be. You gain more knowledge and it makes it easier to put all that in your head and become smarter. When you wonder a lot you become more creative because you want to know everything and you start to ask more questions. When you ask a lot of questions it makes it easier to remember about a certain topic. Any question asked may help you to get to the bottom of the answer. It also makes  everything more clearer and easier.  

Key 6: Consideration

"The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life."

"Develop the people skills you need to become a better communicator.  Take courses in listening, speaking, etc."

"If you were to learn one new word a day, within 5 years, you’ll be the best educated person in history."

      Like my mom always says "tell me who you are around and ill tell you the type of person you are". I like to believe that sometimes you have the good people and the bad people. The good people are usually on their stuff, doing what they have to be doing. In the other hand there is others that don't like to do anything to help themselves out. You have to have smart friends. Friends with goals in life so they can help you out and you can help them out. People that are going to help you build your future and not people that are going to destroy it or push your dreams away.When developing your skills in becoming a better communicator you don't necessarily need to take courses. A lot of things actually help like reading books. By reading books you learn new words can help your vocabulary. While your friends or peers talk, you can practice listening to them while talking. I feel like everyday you learn something new but that doesnt make you the best educated person in history it just makes you intelligent .

Key 7: Consistency

"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work."

Be consistent in your relationships, your family, friends, your boss, your work.  Be the person that people can depend upon.  That if you say you’ll do something you do it.."

    

Being consistent isn't just for school.There can be consistent in family, relationship etc. For example being consistent at school can get you good grades. It can also get you awards, excellent attendance. In family always being there for each and one of them can make them happy. It can also be helpful, it can make them feel comfortable, can make them feel safe. In relationship its about building each other. They need all the support they can get.  Being consistent can be when you get to school early so you wont have tardies. Another example might be when you come prepared to school with all the supplies you need to write down information. Another example might be when you are working and you've finished your part and you decide to help the others instead of just standing there. Being consistent with family might be when you clean the house without having to have my parents tell me.

Key 8: Commitment

"No success is possible without commitment.  The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success."

"Become totally absorbed in your work.  Be totally committed."

If you aren't committing to whatever it is than you might never reach it. Committing to something and putting all your interest in it can help you out for further things. If you have commitment then you have all full attention on that subject. When focusing on one thing you can achieve it way faster. It can help you a lot in the future. Getting things done when they have to can be a head start. You have to put effort, head and heart into it and it will get done. When becoming very  interested in what you are doing it will get easier and faster to be done. Putting  all your time and effort can help you finish and start on a new project. The faster you do things the more you do. Its simple put your heart into things you love doing and they become your favorite things to do and.  You'll want to do it more often or you might just go beyond that.  

             

                                                           

Key 9: Courage

"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."

- This means that you have to fail sometimes to get where you are at. Its not all about always succeeding its about failure as well. Sometimes we fall to get back up way better than before. Being scared of failure is a mistake you have to fail to correct your mistakes. When you correct your mistakes you know not to do them again and you learn from it. Failing is like another step into success. Failing can be a heartbreak to some people and to some people they are use to it. Failing is like having another opportunity to redo something all over again. When having that opportunity is better because you know what you did wrong and you know what you did right. You correct your mistakes, your misunderstandings. You have to have courage to do a lot of things without being scared of failure. I feel like its part of growing and reaching your goals.    

Key 10: Confidence

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again ."

When redoing things multiple times you start to gain confidence. You start to understand things better. You also start to be better at them. Practicing a certain thing can be helpful. Confidence is always used daily. To get a job you have to be confident that you will do a great job. When presenting at school you have to have confidence on your work. Having confidence can get you to amazing things. It can give you so   many good opportunities .
