Winning

"All right Mister, let me tell you what winning means? You're willing to go longer, work harder, give more than anyone else." 

Vince Lombardi

Winning is something that matters to us from the moment we are born.  It is an instinctive desire yet one we often forget in adulthood.  The reality is in business you can win, you can loose or you can float through your career in a haze of uncaring.  Whether you want to play the game or not is irrelevant.  The game of life marches on whether we want it to or not.  With that in mind it is best to decide to play, step up to the plate and take the swing.

Vince Lombardi said it best when he said "go longer, work harder, and give more".  This is just as true in business as it is in sports.  Your company will not achieve great success by quitting early.  You will not get promoted by doing the bare minimum and you will never reach your goals if you stop half way to the finish line.  You must continue to fight to win if you want to achieve your goals.  This article written by Donald Quinn talks about the importance of winning and motivates us to once again make winning an important part of who we are.
