When you get hit by rejections, failures or disappointments, it is easy to give up.
Many people do because it does not take much energy to lie down than to pick yourself up, face your fears and move forward.
However, winners will keep going when they can choose not to.
This is what makes a person a true winner.
Determination, persistence and courage are the fundamental principles of winning.
Beyond determination, persistence and courage here are some important action steps you can apply to be a winner: 1) Be Teachable Sydney Harris once said, "A winner knows how much he still has to learn, even when he is considered an expert by others.
A loser wants to be considered an expert by others before he has learned enough to know how little he knows.
" Be a life long student, who is always open to new ideas, concept and new ways of doing things.
By doing so, you will be more adaptable to change and self- development and ultimately it may help you reach a new level of growth.
2) Be creative When someone is faced with a difficulty, those who are often successful are those who find creative ways to leverage on their difficult time.
