Basically what this quote means is that you should expect highly of yourself. You should push yourself to the limit, and feel positive about it. You should always push yourself to the limit because it will make you happy. In order to be a winner, you have to remain positive when you don't.You need to always be positive too through the tough times, always be humble. You need to be a CTR 24/7 person, positivity will come to you naturally. also that you have to create your own legacy and become what you want to because you yourself can achieve. 

Quality 2: Positive Self-Motivation 

"True winners dig deep and find motivation inside themselves to get through that tough task or to learn a new skill."

I agree with this quote by Denis Waitley because it is very true. Even in bad situations, you should try your best to keep a positive outlook.Make more regular encounters with positive and motivated people. This could be as simple as chatting with peers or a quick discussion with a friend who likes sharing recipes or ideas. Find the good in bad. When encountering obstacles, you want to be in the habit of finding what works to get over them.
