The big difference between carrying out a successful project and just scraping through from one assignment to another is something profound: It is called the winning attitude.

You see, a winning attitude, or what many of us call a positive perspective, comes from an inner resolve to make things work and work well despite opposing circumstances.

Some opposing circumstances can be like having to be in class by 7.30 in the morning, despite heavy rains pouring just before dawn.

Another opposing situation could be when you have a difficult examination to sit. You know that despite studying for long hours, you really have not mastered well the formulas and many other concepts. But you still tell yourself that you will write the paper well.

You know what, those cases are examples of a person who exhibit a winning attitude.

A person who knows they will make a positive contribution to society despite opposing circumstances, situations or negative peers.

Think of an athlete. They keep very strict programs of training. They fight the opposing circumstances until they break the ceiling, and emerge winners.

Think of your own health too. You must keep a winning attitude for your body as well. Eat a wholesome meal,  instead of binging on snacks which eventually take up more money and affect your long term health.

A well thought out breakfast need not be expensive or foreign. Think of your tea, with healthy slices of bread, that has been enriched with Blue Band.

Add a fruit to the mix, and you have won over your whole body's co-operation to kickstart the day!
