Easy, breezy uplifting read. Nothing earth-shattering or ground-breaking, but good common sense that is not as common as we like to think. It has 10 good life lessons worth refreshing yourself about from time to time:
10. Winners take responsibility. Whiners play the victim.
9. Winners can have what they want. Whiners want what they cannot have.
8. Winners find a way. Whiners find an excuse.
7. Winners brighten a room by entering. Whiners brighten a room by leaving.
6. Winners listen twice as much as they talk. Whiners talk twice as much as they listen.
5. Winners enjoy life’s journeys. Whiners put their joy in the destinations.
4. Winners build friends. Whiners destroy friends.
3. Winners think big. Whiners think small.
2. Winners are focus-minded. Whiners are scatterbrained.
1. Winners create positive meanings. Whiners create negative meanings.
Of course each of these is elaborated on in the book. Short length (93 pages) makes it ideal for rereading, which I recommend.
Also (same page) :
4 rules to remember:
Good input (knowledge) + Good process (clarity of thought) = Good output (conclusions)
Good input + Bad process = Bad output
Bad input + Good process = Bad output
Bad input + Bad process = REALLY Bad output
