I was watching the Battle Sound Documentary (link fixed) today and came across Rob Swift reiterating the following. I thought it was something worth keeping in mind as an aspiring DJ... I'd like to share it with all fellow DJs out there.

A winner always has a program
A loser always has an excuse

A winner sees an answer for every problem
A loser sees a problem in every answer

A winner says "It might be difficult, but it is possible."
A loser says "It may be possible, but it is too difficult."

A winner says "Let's find out."
A loser says "Nobody knows."

A winner wants to
A loser has to

A winner makes time
A loser wastes time

A winner makes commitments
A loser makes promises

A winner says "I'm not as good as I can be."
A loser says "I'm not as bad as others."

A winner praises others
A loser complains about others

A winner is willing to pay the price
A loser expects it handed to him

A winner works like he owns the company
A loser works only for his salary

A winner falls and says, "I fell."
A loser falls and says, "Somebody pushed me."

A winner credits his good luck for winning, even though it isn't good luck.
A loser blames his bad luck for losing, even though it isn't bad luck.

A winner works through a problem.
A loser goes around it and never gets past it.

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