Bill Gates
Bill Gates is an entrepreneur and businessman who' s partner is Paul Allen and founded the world's largest software business, Microsoft. He was born on October 28, 1955 in Seattle, Washington. Both his parents had stable jobs, so he grew up in an upper middle-class family with two sisters. Bill's education was astonishing because he would spend hours going over reference books, like the encyclopedia. When his parents transferred him to Lakeside School he became entranced with what a computer could do. Something really interesting was that he wrote his own tic-tac-toe program in BASIC computer language and this allowed users to play against the computer. Later in 1973, he graduated from Lakeside and attended Harvard University in the fall of 1973. Bill had scored 1590 out of 1600 on the college SAT test. It turns out that gate was thinking of having a career in law but withing two year of school he dropped out in 1975 and pursued his own business, Microsoft, with partner Paul Allen.

Denis Waitley

The 10 Qualities of a Total Winner

Quality 1:  Positive Self-Expectancy 

"Life is a self fulfilling prophecy. True winners go into every event expecting to win." Basically what this quote means is that you should expect highly of yourself. You should push yourself to the limit, and feel positive about it. You should always push yourself to the limit because it will make you happy. In order to be a winner, you have to remain positive when you don't.You need to always be positive too through the tough times, always be humble. You need to be a CTR 24/7 person, positivity will come to you naturally.

      

Quality 2: Positive Self-Motivation 

"True winners dig deep and find motivation inside themselves to get through that tough task or to learn a new skill."x

I agree with this quote by Denis Waitley because it is very true. Even in bad situations, you should try your best to keep a positive outlook.Make more regular encounters with positive and motivated people. This could be as simple as chatting with peers or a quick discussion with a friend who likes sharing recipes or ideas. Find the good in bad. When encountering obstacles, you want to be in the habit of finding what works to get over them. You should also start to take note of when your motivation is high and when it is low. You should find what motivates you and reward yourself. Positive self motivation is important so you can stay on the right path and be successful in life. You should always stay positive and happy if you are a CTR person 24/7 and Choose the Right

Quality 3: Positive Self-Image

True winners are confident and view themselves as competent, valuable human beings.

When you have a positive self-image it means you see yourself as perfect and nothing wrong with you. When you have a positive self-image you give yourself a positive attitude which can make you a person whom others would want to associate with. You have to view yourself as perfect before others will. An example in which this quality would be useful in is when you or someone is running for a position in power such as presidency or governmental. The reason why positive self-image would be necessary in this situation is because self-image is important. I know this as a fact because John F. Kennedy use self-image as a way to help himself get votes. If you do not look be suited for a position then you will most likely not get it.
                             

Quality 4: Positive Self-Direction

You gotta have direction if you are going to go anywhere. True winners know where they are going. Their sense of direction comes from the self and not from outside influences like parents or friends.

When we talk about sense of direction, we are talking about knowing where you want to go in life. This is one of the most important things that you have to know because wherever you want to go in life will impact your future dramatically. Sense of direction should be one of the skills you choose to improve on because where you go in life will determinate the type of life style you live. Wherever you want to go should be a place where you can improve and not a place that is for CTW people. Positive self-direction means you only move forward in life and don't take steps back. Self direction should always be forward in a CTR direction. An example of this could be when you go to college. If you are invited to a party on a school night and you have to study for an exam, you should stay and study because even though the party may be fun for a few hours, in the long run you might look back on it and regret it knowing you could have stayed home and studied to pass the exam. No one but yourself should be responsible for guiding you in the right direction.
         

Quality 5: Positive Self-Control

Total winners can sacrifice immediate pleasure for a gain in the future. Delayed gratification is of immense value in reaching your goals.

When you have self control it means that you don't do anything you shouldn't even though you might have the need to do something, but even though it's wrong, You still do not do it. An example of self control is when you go to a buffet. You might feel the urge to eat anything and everything you can but you have to know your limits and not pass them. If you go to a buffet and have a goal to only eat a certain amount of calories and you stick to your goal, that is positive self-control. This quality isn't really talked about because everyone learns self-control when they are little.
                         

Quality 6: Positive Self-Discipline

You have to discipline yourself or else someone else will discipline you into doing what they want you to do. Total winners have the power to discipline and take control of their lives.

   

Quality 7: Positive Self-Esteem

Your mood and outlook on life affect the way you see the world and how you interact in it. Total winners are positive, powerful people who make people feel good and provide a good vibe to those around him/her.

You should have a positive outlook when it comes to your self esteem. If you want to attract good vibes, then you need to always remain calm and positive. The best thing about having a positive self esteem is that you can be yourself. You can be happy by living on your own terms, each of us can gain a better understanding of what we want. Another good thing about having a high self esteem is also that you can face new challenges. You will face these challenges enthusiastically, and want to come up with a creative solution. If you Choose the Right 24/7, you will have much more than a positive self esteem. You will have a positive outlook on life that will make you a total winner.

Quality 8: Positive Self-Dimension

Total winners like in the present. They know that now is all there is. They don’t get caught up in the past or worry about the future. They simply handle the business that they can handle which is the stuff going on today, now.

You should not worry too much about your past because it should not define you. You should live in the present because ultimately the present can help determine your success in the future, You shouldn't stress about what you cant change, but focus on your energy on what you can change now. You should handle whatever business you have to today, then focus on what else you can change tomorrow

Quality 9: Positive Self-Awareness

Total winners are aware of their power. They understand that they can be anything with enough effort and determination.

Positive self awareness means to have conscious knowledge of one's own character, feelings, or motives. I read that self awareness is the key cornerstone to emotional intelligence. It has the ability to monitor our emotions and thoughts from moment to moment, so that we can understand one another and get the outcome that we would like. Becoming self-aware is the an early step in the creation of life you want, your future. An example of this quality would be when you are headed to college after you have just graduated from high school. You will need to understand, that there will be a few changes in your life because now you have to control you life without the help of your parents. The quote explains how having self awareness will lead you towards being a champion and I believe that is true because you'll need confidence withing yourself to bring the best out of you into the world. I can apply this quality into my daily life by trying or learning new techniques that can improve my confidence. 

Quality 10: Positive Action

Total winners take positive action in their business and with their friends and family. They are uplifting and motivating individuals who inspire the best from themselves and other

Positive action is when a person takes the steps to help or encourage others in different ways.An example of this quality would be when you attend a parade and stand up for what you believe is right. You have the courage to inspire and be heard. The quote explains how having positive thoughts and actions, will give you positive results. It is important that you know how to be a motivation to others. The word positive means to be clear and definite, so there's no doubting yourself. I can apply this quality into my life by always thinking on the bright side and ignore the negative comments or obstacles being thrown at me. One can follow this quality by doing what is right or just having a positive mind.
