A -> B -> C A - Attitude Attitude is everything. Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. An optimist is one who sees the cup half full, and says, "I think I can!" A pessimist is one who sees the cup half empty, and says, "I can't!" Attitudes are contagious, is your's worth catching? B - Behavior Behavior is the total reflection of one's attitude. Winners hold positive attitudes, have fun and are successful in their goals. Losers hold negative attitudes, are unhappy and never realize their potential. Winners support their teammates, learn from mistakes and accept defeat. Losers make excuses, blame others and are poor sportsmen. Winners are a part of the team. Losers think they are the team. Winners are self-disciplined. Losers need discipline. Winners are coachable. Losers are incorrigible. C - Consequences The pleasures you get from life is equal to the attitude you put into it. Winners walk off the field of play with their heads held high regardless of the score. Losers were never in the game. To be a winner... all you have to give is all you have. Think you can, or think you can't, either way you're right.
