Winners vs. Losers

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Each week and over the course of the fantasy football season, owners at Family Fantasy Sports are competing with one another to win games, prizes, and championships.

In life, winning is about more than just games or grades, it is about attitude. A winner always approaches life with a positive attitude, gracious and respectful to others. Below is a classic description of the winner’s approach to life. We hope you enjoy it and share it.

The Winner    Is always a part of the answer
The loser        Is always a part of the problem

The Winner    Always has a program
The Loser        Always has an Excuse

The Winner     Says  “Let me do it for you”
The Loser        Says “Thats not my job”

The Winner    Sees an answer for every problem
The Loser        Sees a problem in every answer

The Winner     Sees a green near every sand trap
The Loser        Sees two or three sand traps near every green

The Winner    Says “It may be difficult but it’s possible”
The Loser        Says “It may be possible but it’s too difficult”

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 past 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 listens;
A loser just waits until it’s his turn to talk.

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 armor.

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.”

Something for Dad to Share w/Kids

Friday, June 19th, 2009

While Fathers will be doing most of the receiving this Sunday on Father’s Day, we wanted to offer something for Dad’s to share with their kids. Below is statement that Arnold Palmer is said to have kept posted on the wall of his office. We don’t know who the author is.

Whether You Think You Can or You Can’t:  You’re Probably Right

If you think you are beaten, you are;

If you think that you dare not, you don’t;

If you’d like to win, but you think you can’t,

Its almost certain you won’t.


If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost;

For out in the world you’ll find

Success begins with a fellow’s will.

It’s all in the state of mind.


If you think you are outclassed, you are;

You’ve got to think high to rise;

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.


Life’s battles don’t always go

To the stronger or faster man;

But sooner or later the man who wins

Is the man who thinks he can.


We love this essay/verse and hope you share it with kids and others in your life b/c we believe it to be true.

Btw, spend more time with your kids and family by playing in our free fantasy football leagues during the 2009 NFL Season. Sign up is now open and we are once again awarding over $40,000 for college savings to participants in our leagues.
