It was a chilly cold evening the moon was out,the house was quiet as always.I was so tired but felt the urge to wine down having had a long busy day. I sunk into the sofa glazing at and admiring the full moon hoping I would doze off; that didn’t work so I grabbed the remote controls and switched on the television. I could hear myself saying I hate television but then I heard a little voice on the other side of me saying watching television is only 90% unproductive which is I have 10% productivity television time to play with ! You see… I had reduced my television watching a few years back and I have enjoyed engaging in what I call living a productive life .I often wonder how some people could spend 80% of their life watching television . Anyhow having spent about ten minutes flicking through the channels I came across How to get what you want broadcasting on Sky One. At first I was hesitant to stay tuned but then had a glimpse at the synopsis of the programme. Bingo! it sounded good so I dashed off to the kitchen, made myself a nice cup of hot choclate and got all excited  and began watcing and taking notes.Here's a summary of what I picked from the show.To Become a Winner amongst others is about:

So when we do lose it is an opportunity to put our loss into perspective, regroup, be realistic, learn from it and move on.. That’s the winner attitude!
