Characteristics of a Winner

There have always been winners. Even in prehistoric times there were winners: the guy that got eaten was the loser and the one who didn't was the winner. But, usually when people think about winning, think about winning a contest or a game. The person who wins always has something that sets him apart from the others he is competing against. These are the characteristics determine winners, and I will now discuss a few of them.



Winners seem to have a drive that will not let them quit, no matter how difficult the task may be. This drive comes from deep within them, and helps them to achieve anything. The point where most people say, " I quit, I give up," is the point where the people with the drive are just about warmed up. No matter how many times a person with the drive is thrown done, they always get back up and keep coming. They thrive on the ridicule and the thought that no one believes they can succeed just makes them that much more willing to go for the goal and take risks.

Winners also will do anything they need to succeed. On sports teams, the player that scores all the points or is always in the best position to score will usually get all of the credit, but the people who really know what they are doing, like college recruiters, know that this is not the player they want, but the guy who is giving him the ball and doing everything that he can at all times is the guy. Someone who really wants to win will do anything and everything is their power to come out on top. It's not a choice (well, it sort of is), but it is also a desire that won't let them sit back and let whatever happens happen.

Well, there are my characteristics of a winner. Everyone needs to go out with these characteristics at all times because it will help you in the long run. Trust me; I'm a professional. Well, not really, but you get the point.
