When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，“Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.”or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my mistake；the car broke down.”It is probably not your mistake，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

　Winners are good at dealing with problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car checked more regularly. Or, you might start to carry the useful phone numbers with you, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague(同事) causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t depend on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

　　This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.

　　Mr. Black worked in an office in London, but he lived in the country and came to work by train every day. The station was not far from his office, and Mr. Black always walked from his office to the station in the evening, because he liked walking. He always went along the street. Every evening he passed a poor man there. The man sat at the side of the road and sold matches (火柴), and there was always an old dog near him. There was a piece of paper around the dog' s neck, and the words I AM BLIND were on the paper.

　　Mr. Black was a kind man. He always stopped and said some kind words to the poor man and gave him a little money, but he did not take any of his matches.

　　One day Mr. Black had a lot of work in his office and was very late. He said, “My train always leaves at five past six, and it is ten to six now. I'm not going to talk to the poor man today, and I' m not going to give him any money.” He came to the man and his dog, but he did not stop and did not say anything. He walked quickly to the station. But the poor man stood up quickly, ran after him and said, “Why don't you give me any money today? You're always kind to me. Give me a little money today, too. I'm a poor man.”

　　Mr. Black stopped and looked at him. “You are a blind man. How did you follow me?” he said. The poor man said, “No, I'm not blind. My dog is.”
