Card In A Cardbox

I found this laminated olive bordered card in a cardbox in the study.

On the very top of the laminated card are the words Winners vs Losers, something my dad would definitely buy and paste on the doors of my mum's gigantic bookshelf. There's also one here that says 8 Gifts That Do Not Cost A Cent. It's actually a good daily reminder to anyone who reads the cards.

Winner vs Losers
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 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 gets pass it;
A winner makes commitments;
A loser makes promises;
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 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.";
A winner says, "There ought to be a better way to do it.";
A loser says "That's the way it's always been done here.";

I feel like a philosopher now! ;)
