                                    The 10 Qualities of a Total Winner

Quality 1:  Positive Self-Expectancy

                          I think that if you ever try to achieve a goal then you have to know what you are trying to achieve. Like this you can ponder about how you will be like when you achieved that goal and what you would do. You have to always think ahead and already know what to do next when you are done. If your end goal is not clear then you will end up doing less than you wanted to or expected. If you act like that goal that you made is already in you grasp then it will be easier to picture yourself already achieved that goal. An example of this would be when you are done with all your assignments and move on to doing something else like sleeping or playing a game or doing something relaxing. I think that  the most important thing when doing a goal is to picture yourself at
the end goal.
