Winning Tips to Get What You Want

Model successful people - the best short-cut to success is by modeling people who have already succeeded. You avoid starting from scratch but tapping into something already proven to work. Best of all, you get to avoid or bypass some of their mistakes.
Set goals - you need to chart your path. More importantly, goals gear you towards specific action. After all, you don't have time to waste.
Take Action - it's everything. Recognize that little steps are such as potent as big ones. It's progress that matters and it all counts.
Believe in yourself - if you believe you can do it, then you increase the odds that you will. It's natural that you may have fears and doubts, but that shouldn't stop you. The trick is to believe you'll overcome the obstacles.
Don't Quit - if you quit, you fail. Keep at it and you'll go further than you ever thought possible.

You Have the Determination In You!

Don't quit when the tide is lowest,
For it's just about to turn;
Don't quit over doubts and questions,
For there's something you may learn;
Don't quite when the night is darkest,
For it's just a while 'til dawn;
Don't quit when you've run the furthest;
For the race is almost won;
Don't quit when the hill is steepest,
For your goal is almost nigh;
Don't quit, for you're not a failure
Until you fail to try.
