John C Maxwell

Life is about learning, and about using those lessons to become a better employee, employer, better parent, better sibling, better friend.

I have tried every day to learn something new, to gain a new perspective. That way of thinking is what keeps a min young, optimistic and joyful.

The lessons we learn from school help us face the real world outside the classroom walls. In a sense learning starts after college.

While people are usually ready to talk about their dreams, they are not well prepared to answer a question about their shortcomings.
![Page 6: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Successful people approach losing differently. They don’t try to brush failure under the rug.
![Page 7: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Sometimes you win, sometimes you ( lose) but learn from it.
![Page 8: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Les Brown said “ the good times we put in our pocket, the bad times we put in our heart”
![Page 9: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The quality that distinguishes a successful person from an unsuccessful one is in the capacity to manage disappointment and loss. This is a challenge because losses can defeat us mentally.
![Page 10: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
When we win, we gain confidence. The more confidence we have, the more action we take. The inclination to move from knowing to doing often brings success.
![Page 11: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
‘If you say that the morale of your team is good after losing ten out of twelve games, then your intelligence is a little low.’ – Paul Richards, Football manager
![Page 12: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Learning is not easy during tough times because it requires us to do things that are not natural.
![Page 13: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Pride goes before a fall. Pride is about who is right, Humility is about what is right – Ezra Taft Benton
![Page 14: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Negative impact of pride on behavior of an individual – blame, denial, closed mindedness, rigidity, insecurity and isolation. Such people are poor team players
![Page 15: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
People with a lot of talent often perform at the highest level, but the really best of the best –achieve the highest heights because they possess the spirit of learning.
![Page 16: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ken Blanchard said – Humility does not mean you think less of yourself, it means you think of yourself less.
![Page 17: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Humility opens our eyes and broadens our view. Because we aren’t focused on justifying ourselves or looking good, we have better judgment.
![Page 18: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Humility fosters an agenda of seeing things the way they are, of learning and the desire to improve.
![Page 19: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When we lose sight of reality, we lose our way quickly. You cannot improve yourself if you are kidding yourself.
![Page 20: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Life is difficult- somehow people seem to believe that life is supposed to be easy.
![Page 21: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Some people never make an intentional effort to grow, some think they will grow automatically just by attending meetings and sitting at their desk.
![Page 22: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
One of the most striking things that separate successful people from those who aren’t is the way they think.
![Page 23: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
People who get ahead think differently and are constantly thinking of improving their skill set.
![Page 24: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Most people spend their entire lives on a fantasy island called ‘someday I’ll’They don’t live in the world of reality and are always postponing what they need to do today.
![Page 25: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Lying to yourself is a hard habit to break.People who don’t take responsibility get into ‘blamestorming’
![Page 26: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Real success is a journey. We have to hang in there, stay focused, and keep moving forward.Excuses are like exits along the success road, those exits lead nowhere.
![Page 27: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
If you are willing to put your name on everything you do, that’s a high level of integrity.
![Page 28: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
We live in a society with destination disease. Too many people want to do the minimum to ‘arrive’ and then ‘retire’
![Page 29: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Losers don’t lose because they focus on losing, they lose because they focus on getting by.
![Page 30: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Improving everyday requires intention and contemplation.
![Page 31: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
When people sense victory When people sense defeat
They sacrifice to succeed They give as little as possible
They look for ways to win They look for excuses
They become energized They become tired
They follow the game plan They forsake the game plan
They help other team members They hurt others
![Page 32: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
People with a teachable spirit approach each day as an opportunity for another learning experience. They know that success has less to do with natural talent and more to do with choosing to learn.
![Page 33: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Being teachable depends on two things- capacity and attitude. While capacity could be fixed, our attitude can change.
![Page 34: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Adversity is a better teacher than success if we want to learn.
![Page 37: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Many problems go unresolved or are managed ineffectively because we do not take them seriously enough.
![Page 38: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
When looking at problems, always split position clearly to say – here is what I will do and here is what I need you to do for us.
![Page 39: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Why people resist change
• Change can feel like a personal loss• Change feels awkward• Change goes against tradition
![Page 40: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
People change when prompted with
• They hurt enough, they have to• They learn enough, they have to• They receive enough, they have to

One of life’s important question is ‘who am I”. But even more important is ‘ who am I becoming? ’Most people don’t answer the second question as they turn to the path of cynicism, dishonesty and getting by.
![Page 42: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Successful people do two things that many other people don’t. They initiate action and they finish what they start.As a result, they form the habit of doing things that unsuccessful people don’t.
![Page 43: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Maturity is the result of feeding the right emotions at the right time, anger, calm, encouragement, push back etc. Maturity is the result of developing good habits. Maturity is the result of sacrificing today to succeed tomorrow.
![Page 44: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Learning decreases as winning increases.Bill gates said” Success is a lousy teacher. It makes smart people think they can’t lose. It also makes them think they don’t need to learn”
![Page 45: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Learning is only possible when our thinking changes.
![Page 46: Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn - Book Summary](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081420/5550eef8b4c905387d8b51e9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
How we think when we lose determines how long it will take for us to win again. The right kind of thinking is to remain positive.
