I need your help.
I’m building a “Winners’ Creed” and would love for you to help me construct it. Here’s what I have so far:
Most people let their employers control their jobs; winners own their careers.
Most people wish and wait; winners act and achieve.
Most people blame; winners take responsibility.
Most people hope for opportunities; winners prepare for them.
Most people give up on their dreams; not you–you’re a winner.
If you have ideas, serious or not, just comment on this blog.


Hi David — I wanted to credit the source of something I mentioned to you at the seminar today. The comic XKCD uses mouseover text as an extra punchline, so highlight the comic and you’ll find the actual text for what I paraphrased. I’m enjoying the class, see you tomorrow.–Mary
Winners judge success by their own values, not those of the world.
