Ronald Reagan said "My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose - somehow we win out."
Attitudes play an important role in your success. If you have to be a winner then it is your attitude that will decide. It is how you look at things. To be a winner you have to think like a winner. How do you think like a winner. Take a look at the following:
To be a winner you should have a positive attitude and be Enthusiastic, Determined, Motivated, Confident, Optimistic, Dedicated, Happy, Good Listener with patience. These are the basic qualities that a winner must have. To be successful and achieve your goals, you have to develop these attitudes and follow them in writing and spirit. The plan that you have devised for yourself, along with a right attitude, will go a long way in making you a winner – successful in achieving your goals. A plan helps you to follow a strategy. In the absence of a plan you are like a ship without a radar. You will sail in the direction in which the wind is blowing. This is not going to help you in any way to become a winner.

Enthusiasm
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," said the very quotable Ralph Waldo Emerson. You must be enthusiastic about achieving your goals. i.e., Success in your life. Enthusiasm is a positive feeling of wanting to push ahead with something. Here it applies to following your plan to achieve your goals.
Determined
Determination is essential for success and achieving what you want. You must be determined to follow the plan to achieve your goal at any cost. When you face set-backs, find out the causes for the set backs, learn from the set backs, if required change your plan to achieve your goal. Never quit. Winners don't quit, they start thinking to find out what went wrong and now what is to be done to achieve the ultimate goal.
Confident
When you have trust and faith in yourself you become confident. To become a winner you have to be confident in yourself and in the decisions that you make. Once you decide upon an action you should not waiver but firmly implement the decision.
Good Listener and Patient
These are essential qualities for anyone who wants to become a winner and be successful in life. In order to be a good listener and patient you must be able to control your emotions. Uncontrolled emotions lead to panic situations. In such situations the chances of making wrong decisions increase.
Finally A Word of Caution
Your plan is the foundation for achieving your goal. You move up by building your attitude upon this foundation. Without a plan any amount of change in attitude is not going to give you the desired results.
