**The most important indications to identify a Winner or a Loser *)**

When a winner makes a mistake, he says, “I was wrong”; when a loser makes a mistake, he says, “it wasn´t my fault”.
A winner credits good luck for winning, even though it isn´t good luck. A loser blames bad luck for losing, even though it isn´t bad luck.
A winner works harder than a loser and has more time, a loser is always too busy to do what is necessary.
A winner goes through a problem; a loser goes around it, and never past it.
A winner shows he´s sorry by making up for it; a loser says, “I´m sorry,” but does the same thing the next time.
A winner knows what to fight for and what to compromise on; a loser compromises on what he shouldn´t and fights for what isn´t worthwhile fighting about.
A winner says, “I´m good, but not as good as I ought to be”; a loser says, “I´m not as bad as a lot of other people.”
A winner would rather be admired than liked, although he would prefer both; a loser would rather be liked than admired, and is even willing to pay the price of mild contempt for it.
A winner respects those who are superior to him, and tries to learn something from them; a loser resents those who are superior to him, and tries to find chinks in their armour.
A winner feels responsible for more than his job; a loser says, “I only work here.”
