I Am A Winner
. . . because I think like a winner, prepare like a winner, and
perform like a winner.
. . . because I set high and attainable plans, work toward my plans
with determination and persistence, and never stop until I reach them.
. . . because I am strong enough to say "No!" to those things that
would make me less than my best, and say "Yes!" to the challenges and
opportunities that will make me grow and improve my life.
. . . because total commitment is my constant companion, and personal
integrity is my life-time mentor.
. . . because I have learned to avoid the tempting shortcuts that can
lead to disappointment, and the unhealthy habits that could result in
defeat.
. . . because I have a well earned confidence in myself, a high regard
for my teammates, and a healthy respect for those around me.
. . . because I have learned to accept criticism, not as a threat,
rather as an opportunity to examine my attitudes and to improve my
skills.
. . . because I persevere in the midst of challenge and fight on in
the face of defeat.
. . . because I am made in the image and likeness of my Creator, who
gave me a burning desire, a measure of talent, and a strong faith to
attempt the difficult and to overcome the seemingly impossible.
. . . because of my enthusiasm for life, my enjoyment of the present,
and my trust in the future.
Most importantly I am a winner because. . . _________!
-William Arthur Ward
