Unfortunately, it seems, most people are not. This poem makes me think of you Jay, and I think has a great message for all of us. Winners Are People Like You by Nancey Sims Winners take chances Like everyone else, they fear failing, but they refuse to let fear control them. Winners don't give up. When life gets rough, they hang in until the going gets better.
Winners are flexible.
They realize there is more than one way and are willing to try others. Winners know they are not perfect. They respect their weaknesses while making the most of the strengths. Winners fall, but they don't stay down. Winners don't blame fate for their failures not luck for their successes.
