Comparing Winners to Whiners

My kids are enrolled in TaeKwonDo training and one of the things they stress to these kids is maintaining a positive attitude. I love that! I think we can all use a bit of encouragment in that area... some more than others. lol

Today they came home with a few printed words, worth hanging onto. I wanted to share a few of them with you:

WINNERS are positive, optimistic, pro-active, and excited about their goals and activities in life.

WHINERS are negative, pessimistic, reactive and love to whine about everything and anything.

WINNERS develop self-discipline in order to bring out their absolute best in themselves and in others...

WHINERS lack discipline of their minds and are often critical of themselves and others.

WINNERS give value to others, they train hard and make a positive contribution to their team

WHINERS love to moan, groan and complain, and their negative attitude takes away from their team.

WINNERS brighten a room when they enter.

WHINERS brighten a room when they leave.

Ok... the last two lines where my favorite, so I typed them out in boldface. I think just those two lines pretty much sums things up. Don't you? My new goal and at the top of my New Year's Resolution List is to be the woman who brightens a room when I enter! Oh, I'd hate to be that other woman. :~o
