IN CLOSING

Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is

habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. ~ Vince Lombardi

You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and

expect to win. ~ Zig Ziglar
