Anatomy of a Winner.

A winner is not someone who has not lost but one who does not quit in moments of failure with the belief that with improvement, he would get it right someday. A winner is also not someone who wins seldomly but someone who has made an habit of winning, a winner does not see impossibilities, rather, he turns them into steps to reaching his goal(s).
In life, we all have reasons to fail; Clinton never knew his father but still rose to the exalted position of America's president, Obama was black and no black before him had got the nod of any of the major political parties ( Democrats and Republican) for the office of the president, yet he not only became the flag-bearer, he won the election and of course, the rest is history.
Jose Mourinho, a football manager with an attitude that courted him enemies everywhere he went but still succeeds despite the cloudy atmosphere of hatred. He is enroute becoming the greatest manager ever having won league titles in 3 different countries ( Portugal, England and Italy), he has moved on to Spain hoping to turn it into another of his conquests.
Great men and winners are those that arm themselves with an axe and head for the rock. He keeps smashing at the rock until the rock gives way. Everybody appreciates gold simply because it is scarce and only a few find it, the others buy it.
Winners are not born,they are made. Every living person ( white or black) have chances to win in life. Victory in life does not favour a particular skin colour , race, religion, age or even language.
To win in life. all that is required is grit, determination, belief, obstacles and luck. Life is like a football match in which a keeper is faced with the daunting task of keeping a clean sheet. For 90 minutes, he foils the attempt of players of the opposition to score against his team, he throws his body , jumps and a times, gets injured but still manages to continue. We are all goalkeepers in life.
Obstacles bring out the best in us. You will never know how fast you can run until your very life depends on it ( Imagine facing a very hungry lion). It is usually good to embrace obstacles and challenges for they only make us better.
Luck is literally good fortune but literarily, it is labouring under correct knowledge. With the right preparation, success and greatness will be achieved. Consider carefully what you desire and ask the very important question 'what is the necessary ingredient?
Let us all equip ourselves with the requisite knowledge and the success that has been far-fetched will become hand-reached.
