What Is A Winner?
Winning is doing the best you can do
With whatever God has given to you.
Winning will happen if you have a plan;
A plan that consists of the phrase, "I can!"
Winning is nothing more, at all;
Nothing more than rising each time you fall.
A winner will fight when she's hardest hit.
It's when things go wrong that she mustn't quit.
A winner prepares; a winner takes aim;
A winner will write the rules of the game.
A winner takes time for family and friends.
A winner has optimistic views that never ends.
A winner says it's possible; a loser says it's not.
A winner sees beneath the surface; a loser only sees the rot.
A winner must understand before she can be understood;
A loser doesn't care, as long as she looks good.
A winner must have a moral sense, a sense of who she is;
A loser has no moral sense; she has no need of this.
A winner decides; a loser can't chose;
A winner finds a way; a loser finds an excuse.
A winner anticipates; a winner acts;
A loser procrastinates; a loser re-acts.
A winner begins with an end in mind.
A loser goes forth as if she's blind.
A winner has values beyond which she won't go.
A loser has values as malleable as dough.
A winner sees to it that everyone wins.
A loser causes failure, as she looks on and grins.
A winner acts like a winner and acts like she knew
That if she looked in the mirror, she'd see the reflection of you.

Good one. I like the winner acts like a winner. I usely achieve my goal as I set them. That's winning too.
Marja,
Yes it is.
Yep, you got it Mel. Right on the money. Very well done. :)
Sandee,
I'm almost done with Section II of my series. Wait until you see how I bring it all "HOME" is Section III.
Hey Mel,
Couldn't let the month finish without completing this Section :)!
- I can identify with the following winning characteristics:
A good plan is the key to success, isn't it? On the wall of my room I have "if an organisation doesn't plan for its future it's not likely to have one!".
My family always comes first, and I always find time to listen to my friends (either by phone or messenger, when I'm travelling)!
I am not always understood, however I try to read people...
I hate excuses, undecisiveness, procrastination, blindness, imorality!
I am a fighter, by God, I am a fighter!
- I don't identify to any loser characteristics, cause it's not in me (ok, I am not doing well in Fantasy hockey, but I am already studying a strategy lol).
- I would like to be more cool, than I am. However I know that that will come with age, and wisdom...I am patient, so I know I'll get there :).
Great poem, Mel (you are gifted indeed)!
Cheers
