How to be a Winner - Five Characteristics by Rober Vander

I talked about winners and losers and how easy it is to fall into a losing pattern. That post was one of the most commented on of all my posts. So I thought it would be helpful to look at that topic again – listing five characteristics that we find in winners.
By winners I mean people who tend to be successful in most ventures that they take on in life. Obviously, they will experience failures too, but over all, they tend to be a winner.
1. Take Action
One of the first characteristics that we will find in winners is that they are willing to take action to solve their problem. Even before that, they acknowledge that there is a problem. Too many people will complain about a problem, and blame it on someone else. Since it is someone else’s fault, they should fix it (not me). It is easier to complain than to take action and do something about it myself.
2. Passion
Nothing significant gets done by just thinking that it would be nice to do or to have someday. To be a winner, you must focus on the prize and be committed to accomplishing it. There will be many things that discourage you. Failures and ‘knock-downs’ will challenge your resolve. Passion is what will get you through to eventual victory.
3. Be Teachable
If you know everything already then there is no need to grow or improve. If you recognize the need to learn more – about everything – then you are teachable. This is an attitude. It is a desire to always learn, always improve. That is the only way to be a winner.
4. Be Willing to Stand Alone
A winner is often alone. It may be because they are hard at work practicing while others are watching TV. It may be because they are following their own vision for success rather than following the crowd. Because of their passion and willingness to take action, they already stand out from the crowd. They have to feel OK about that. Soon they will be alone at the head of their class or their business.
5. Love People
A winner will rarely be the person who avoids other people at all cost. The winner enjoys people. Even if they are an introvert, they will recognize that they can never succeed on their own. They understands that the gifts and inputs of other people will make them a better person. The winner will develop an attitude of caring for other people – both those who have few resources, and those who have more. Their love will win people over and help them in their challenges too.
These are just a sampling of some of the characteristics of winners. Hopefully, we can look at these and identify some that are a part of us, and some that we can strive to improve. That is all a part of how to be a winner. It means always moving on toward the goal. Now please go detail your Monte Carlo

 

Justin gaurentee you got my vote dude!

 

it's a ways off! thats is all i know, but fingers crossed it will atleast be rolling soon

 

Woo Hoo Post 782!!! - no really - I hate that too.

I honestly hardly ever go into the MOTM section - the last few months I've nominated and voted and I was nominated once but no one supported. Not a big deal to me. I don't get into the whole contest scene anyways - I mean, I do what I do to my car because I want it that way, I don't care if others like it and want to nominate it for an award. All that matters is I'm happy with it.

Lately though I've just been shaking my head at some of the people here that carry on about their cars like a borderline obsessive. Do I like my car and take excellent care of it? You bet your a**. But do I carry on about how one of a kind and special it is? No, there's about 423,000 6th gens alone, and putting a little work into an 8 year old car is no where near the same as restoring and rebuilding a 50 year old car (finding parts alone can be years of work). My opinions at least.


EDIT: I didn't just come in here to find fault in the current system, so I did send some feedback to Taz
