BETWEEN A WINNER AND LOSER

There are many losers in the world, though this might sound harsh, every city in every country has men and women who live in mediocrity. They are full of unfulfilled dreams and they desire to win but know not how. What is keeping them from winning is not because they are not born winners.

Sometimes, who you know make succeeding in any field easier but they are not the key factors. It is not lack of intelligence either. While some may have greater mental capability than others, winning or losing is not solely dependent on this.

So, why do we have just about 20 percent at the top in every human endeavor and about 50 percent at the bottom of ladder of life? Who is winner and who is a loser in life? What is the difference between winners and losers in life? What factors separate winners from losers in the society? How do winners and losers think? What are the benefits of winning and losing? How can a loser become a winner? Is it possible for a winner to turn around and lose? These questions will be used to examine the thoughts, ways of life, priorities, practices and the potentials of some winners and losers in life. Joseph, Japheth, Ruth and Esther in the Bible might never have been associated with winners in their respective societies. Others like Albert Einstein, Samuel Ajayi Crowther, Barrack Obama, Nelson Mandela, bill Gates, Ben Carson and Philip Emegwali were all expected to be losers in their societies going by the circumstances of their birth and the challenges they face in life have little effect on winning or losing. The real key is how you handle the current situations. Make the most of life situation, you become a winner.

Becoming a winner however, requires effort. It does not come through wishful thinking. It is some thing you determine to achieve.

The question is what does it really mean to be a winner or a loser? Different societies or schools of thought have their own views about winning and losing in life.

Winners and losers are measured by certain parameters such as accumulation of wealth, academic carrels, attainment of certain positions, handling of challenging situations, realization of goals, some achievements or feats in life imply put, winning is succeeding in life while losing is failure to succeed.
