A comper's life goes up and down and it's easy to get discouraged with endless competitions to enter and prizes you desperately want to win. Equally, it's easy to get overly excited by the sheer mass of competitions coming and going and not to mention all the tantalizing trips and prizes on offer.
Its not surprising that a comper's life is a roller-coaster ride of emotions. If you're struggling and feel like you're not in balance here are 7 Quotes that every comper should live by:
- 'You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win. ' – Zig Ziglar
- 'Perspective is the most important thing to have in life.' – Lauren Graham
- 'You need three things to win: discipline, hard work and, before everything maybe, commitment. No one will make it without those three.' – Haile Gebrselassie
- 'You find that you have peace of mind and can enjoy yourself, get more sleep, and rest when you know that it was a one hundred percent effort that you gave – win or lose.' – Gordie Howe
- No matter if you win or lose, the most important thing in life is to enjoy what you have.' -Dong Dong
- 'When you wake up every day, you have two choices. You can either be positive or negative; an optimist or a pessimist. I choose to be an optimist. It's all a matter of perspective. ' -Harvey Mackay
- 'You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.' – Morgan Wootten
Most of these quotes can be applied to life and not just comping. But the same principles apply, doesn't everyone want to win at life and well…everything.
Good luck compers and happy winning!
