Winner's Creed

WINNER'S CREED

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you'd like to win, but think you can't, It's almost a cinch you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.

For out in the world we find, Success begins with a person's will,

It's all in the state of mind.

Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster hand;

But sooner or later....

The person who wins is the one who thinks "I CAN."

I like that. Self confidence will carry you a long way. Hopefully one has the professionalism, dedication, and integrity to go along with it.

Thanks

In my 20+ years in the business, I wish I had a c-note from the literally thousands of people that have said you CANT WIN when referring to all the certain types of gambling that TRUTHFULLY provide long-tern positive returns to the smart and educated player, be it any of the beatable forms of it.

Not only do some educated individuals make money at these, they do so as there main source of income.

I have found the people who utter the words YOU CANT WIN when referring to the select games I mentioned above are one of three things.............

1. Uneducated or unskillful at them.

2. LOSERS at them

3. Jeolous of those that do WIN consistantly at them.

USUALLY A COMBONATION OF ALL THREE 90% OF THE TIME.

Another pet peeve of mine is the individuals that lie to themselves and say "I just gamble for the fun of it and I dont care if I win or not"

I will allow exceptions to the very very select few that this is true for, but for well over 99% it is not!!

Pertinent to the conversation here a saying from Stephen Covey's "The 7 habits of Highly Effective people" comes to mind.

"Begin with the End in mind"
