Consider this quote from Thomas Edison: Everything needs to be in moderation. Sometimes it is good to persevere. At times, it’s good to move on. It is equally important to know when to stop as it is to know when to continue. The book would have been wholesome if it had been presented that way. Long-Term Financial Goals:Have a clear vision of their financial future and create strategies to achieve it. One difference between Waitley’s winners and losers is self-talk.

Shining as an expert in a given profession is one thing; but more important is developing right attitudes and earning respect and affection from all the people we move with in day-to-day life. The simple techniques the author explains through his stories are sure to help us in both ways. If we are simply OK with being rewarded for doing virtually nothing, we imprint mediocrity into our DNA. And when this happens, we become mediocre in our relationships, in our work, with our kids and friends, in our financial life and take it to the grave with us.Either a Win/Lose or Lose/Win paradigm will bring a short-term win to one party, but the losing side will develop negative feelings that harm the relationship in the long term. In a business dealing, if I get a win in this negotiation, you may walk away and decide you don’t want to work with me in the future. That becomes a loss for me too. A Win/Win paradigm is essential to a successful interdependent relationship, but it’s admittedly difficult; it takes courage, consideration, willingness to learn about the other person, and an ability to influence the other person.

But also to take away things you can grow from when someone does prove you wrong. It is about not needing to be right as much as you need and want to grow and expand. Pride keeps you in a bubble. It feels safe and looks safe. But it never allows you to grow and expand and reach your full potential. It may keep you in your comfort zone, but it takes away the joy and positive things that come from taking lifes cuts and bruises. Healing from them and becoming stronger because of them. But this means giving up things that are taken away from you being rested. Like drinking, partying, drugs and hanging out with people who drain your energy. You need to learn to say NO to the things you want to do. So that you can have the thing in life most people dream of. Sacrifice is the first step to creating the life you want. And becoming a winner. Winning doesn’t always mean being first.
