Winners

Winners are not always champions

And champions are not always winners.

Being a winner is a way of life.

Whether it is on the athletic field, in the classroom,

In the dorm, or out with your peers,

A winner strives to be the best person possible.

Winners display their talents in a way that enables

The team to shine and themselves to be a part of the light.

When confronted with a challenge,

The winner stands up and moves forward

No matter how difficult

The progress may be.

The winner is never satisfied with losing.

He knows that if he continues to prepare

To the best of his ability,

And continues to put forth his best effort

On game day,

The wins will surmount the losses.

A winner is continually climbing the mountain

Of success 

To gain experience and knowledge

That will enable him to set a better foundation

To take the next step toward the top

Knowing that when he as reached the top,

Another mountain is waiting to be conquered.

But -- that is OK.

A winner performs at his best when standing at the bottom

Of the highest mountains.
