Winners Retain Their Composure
Great quote and thoughts Lou, those who can keep their cool generally have an advantage far above those who cannot.
Reminds me of Kiplings poem
If
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son.
Winners Retain Their Composure “To be a champion, you have to learn to handle stress and pressure. But if you’ve prepared mentally and physically, you don’t have to worry.” Harvey Mackay, Entrepreneur, Motivational Speaker, Best Selling Author As I see it . . . . . . . . Winners retain their composure You will find yourself moving through various conditions through-out your lifetime. Some positive conditions . . . . some negative. Some will pass quickly . . . . and some will linger. Some conditions will have the capacity to become a breakthrough moment in your life . . . . while other will pass almost unnoticed Regardless of the condition that you find yourself in, it becomes imperative . . . . that you retain your composure . . . . and to stay in control of the condition. Winners look like a winner . . . . and become a winner because they retain their composure to keep moving forward. When you retain your composure in challenging situations you reflect an air of confidence in yourself . . . . and others will see you as being a strong person and in control. When you lose control of your composure . . . . you will see your decision making capacity diminish . . . . You will also find yourself allowing your emotions to take control . . . . and losing control of the situation. No matter what your circumstances are always retain your composure. Stay in control of the situation . . . . and you will find a way to successfully accomplish your objectives. Staying in control is a winner’s mental edge . . . . and that edge is winners retain your composure. ©2015 Lou Ludwig Motivational Power Quote, Sales and Management Consultant, Success Coach, Speaker, Trainer and Author
