Winners & Losers

For Father's Day, my sister-in-law HG gave me a book called winner & losers by Sydney Harris. Published in 1973, the book is a collection of observations regarding the contrast between winner and losers. Examples include:

A winner
makes commitments;
a loser
makes promises.

A winner
isn't nearly as afraid
of losing
as a loser
is secretly
afraid of winning.

A winner listens;
a loser just waits
until it's his turn
to talk.

You get the point. It's a quick, interesting read but hard to turn the sayings into action. But the book could be a good source of quotes and/or inspiration in the future. Thanks, HG, for the gift.
