Winner Versus Loser

Dear Parishioners, Friends and Family in Christ,

Living in the post-industrial society, more and more individuals and businesses become accustomed to the workings of committees, and meetings, and the need to produce results and meet demanding deadlines to be successful.

The most important ingredient for success is setting a goal. If you have a clear goal in mind, you’re more likely to achieve it, whether it be a personal, business, family, or spiritual endeavour. 

The Roman philosopher Seneca put it well when he said, “If a man does not know to what port he is steering, no wind is favourable to him.” 

What is as important as having a clear goal is that the goal be realistic and possible. 
The other key aspect of goal-setting is attitude. When people fail to achieve their 
goals, most try to convince themselves that the reason for their failure is a factor other than themselves. 

People often blame their failure on lack of time, money, technology, management expertise or team support. Simply put, we are tempted to find everything wrong with everyone else, except ourselves.

I’d like to share some insights on the importance of having the right ingredient and right attitude for success, as follows: 

Winner Versus Loser:

• A Winner is always part of the answer, a Loser is always a part of the problem.
• A Winner always has a plan, a Loser always has an excuse.
• A Winner says, “Let me help you with that,” a Loser says, “That’s not part of my job.”
• A Winner finds a solution for every problem, a Loser finds a problem 
  in every solution.
• A Winner says, “It’s possible,” a Loser says, “It’s too difficult.”
• When a Winner makes a mistake, they admit, “I was wrong,” but when a Loser makes a mistake, they say, “It wasn’t my fault.”
• A Winner makes commitment, a Loser makes promises.
• A Winner sees the gain, a Loser sees the pain.
• A Winner sees possibilities, a Loser sees problems.
• A Winner says, “I can improve,” a Loser says, “I’m not as bad as others.”
• A Winner listens carefully, a Loser waits to talk.
• Winners make it happen; Losers let it happen. 

I hope you find this helpful in life and that it helps make you a Winner!

Have a wonderful week, and enjoy the gorgeous weather!

Yours in Christ, 

Fr. Peter Jae Choi
