CHAMPION What is a champion?
Most people think of a champion as:
But we will use a slightly different definition of the word: A champion is a person, a team, or an organization that succeeds in gaining or achieving a difficult goal and is proud of that achievement. How can a business or company be a champion?
Any business or organization can promote a philosophy that results in achieving goals and having its members feel part of that achievement and good about it. Do you always have to be first to be a champion?

There are many examples of winners who taunt those they defeated. There are also world champions who are disgruntled in their victory because of one thing or another. Such a person may be the champion or the winner, but he is not a champion because of his attitude. Much of this attitude is learned from the negative philosophy that states, "Win at all costs."
