The Winning Distinction

In the entire history of mankind, no one has ever been, and will ever be exempted from the challenges of life. There has never been, and probably will never be a hero in the absence of adversity. In fact, it has been argued that the true measure of greatness is not necessarily the size of one's accomplishments, but greatness is to be measured by the size of the obstacles that one surmounts on the way to achievement.

It is also equally important to point out early that no one has ever been and will ever be disqualified from the success race.The race will always be open to all and the rewards will always be within the grasp of all. Adversity is what sifts and separates the chaff from the true seed, and the winners from the losers. The winners, the losers and the pretenders and impostors are all revealed on the day of adversity.

The distinction in the day of adversity comes not from the strength of one's muscle or physical prowess. The winning distinction is found in the mindset with which one faces the challenges of life. The winners have a big game mentality. They thrive and flourish when the odds are greatest, and when the tide is against them. The losers on the other hand shrink in the day of adversity.
The winners is identified because of certain empowering attitudes that he has towards adversity and set backs. It is not feasible to discuss all of them exhaustively in a space small as this, hence only a few are explored below.
