"WINNING"

BY SIGUNG ALLAN WOODS

1. I never met a winner who didn't expect to win

2.   Winners understand that life is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
3.   They know that life is a "do it to yourself program".
4.   Every winner I ever met knows where he or she is going on a day by day basis.
5.   Winners are goal oriented and driven.
6.   We all have the potential for success in life.
7.   It takes just as mush effort to live a bad life as it does to live a good life.
8.   Winners take full responsibility for their own life. They believe in "cause and effect".
9.   Winners are driven by desire.
10. We move only in the direction of that which we dwell on.
11. Winners dwell on the rewards of success.
12. Let me remind you of a story I once heard to prove my point. If I put a board 2 feet wide
       and 20 feet long, 12" off the ground and put a $ 10.00 bill at one end of it and told you it was
       yours if you walked across the plank and picked it up. Would you do it? Of course, you would,
       easy function, low risk, and sufficient reward right? Now if I take that same board and put one
       end of it on top of a 20 story building and put the other end on top of an adjacent 20 story building,
       and put that same $10.00 bill at one end, would you walk across it now to pick the same reward?
       Of course not. Maybe for a thousand dollars you'd shimmy across it. Suddenly a new element
       enters the picture "20 stories of, or else" fear.
13. Winners act like winners.
14. It's not what you ARE that holds you back, It's what you think you are not.
15. People behave NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH REALITY, but in accordance with their perception of
       reality.
16. Winners are self-directed on their own road to self-fulfillment.
17. Remember that you have to have a dream, if you're going to make a dream cane true.
18. You can't make a dream cane true if you don't have SELF WORTH, and you can attain that self worth through
       constant, and persistent training in the martial arts.
19. My parting advice to you my friend is ALWAYS practice the double win, the more you help people get
       what they want, the more you'll get what you want.
