Some motivating phrases from the book

    On committing errors, winners say “I was wrong” while losers say “it wasn’t my fault”.

    Every success story is also a story of great failure.
    Your attitude contributes to your success.

    So cultivate positive attitude in life; as positive people only think about winning and being the best.

    Don’t ever quit. Integrity and wisdom are essential traits to honour our commitments.Learn from your mistakes; don’t repeat them.

    There is no substitute for hard work.Individuals with high self-esteem will talk about ideas, would have unvarying self-worth, are optimistic, respect others and are always eager to learn.

    Be like a Bumblebee…never limit yourself.

    Don’t ever limit yourself by adopting Crab mentality. Be open-minded.

Essentially the book is trying to illustrate how there are 2 different types of people:

Winners— are people who hate to lose.
Losers—are people who accept failures, sometimes without even trying.

The choice is ours; if being a winner is your mission/goal in life go ahead and read this book and make a positive change in your life.

Wishing all a successful life and hoping success follow you always…
