Winners understand that knowledge has a short shelf-life. Winners also appreciate that, to be valuable to clients, they must constantly explore the limits of their knowledge. Winners learn from their mistakes Losers learn only not to make mistakes by not trying anything different Winners are opportunistic about learning from daily experiences. All of us have hundreds of experiences each day that could be valuable learning opportunities. Losers ignore them and surf the shallow surface of their knowledge.
Successful people make a conscious effort to actively seek new ideas, innovation and growth.
There you have it. There are as many types of winners as there are winners. To me, the poem addresses the fundamental qualities of being a winner. It captures the spirit of open-mindness, strength and compassion that makes winners and winning attractive. Gary Lockwood is Your Business Coach.
