9．On numbers of occasions when something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，"Well，it's so-and-so's fault．"or"I know I'm late，but it's not my fault； the car broke down．"It is probably not your fault，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 can 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 great at overcoming problems．For example，if you were late because your car broke down，maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly．Or，you might start to carry along with you useful phone numbers，so you can call for help when in need．For another example，if your colleague 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 rely on this 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 fault it is．"Once you are confident about your power over bad situations，problems are just stepping stones for success．

8．It's that time of year when people need to lock their cars．It's not because there're lots of criminals stealing cars．Rather，it's because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest．Especially with this year's large crop，leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone to stuff it with zucchini-a kind of dark green skin vegetable．
My sister，Sharon，recently had a good year of tomatoes．She and her family had eaten and canned so many that they begun to feel their skin turn slightly red．She decided to share her blessings．She called everyone she knew．When that failed，she began asking everyone in the neighborhood，eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes．"Feel free to take whatever you want，"Sharon told her．She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didn't go to waste．
A few days later，the neighbor appeared in her house，holding a hot loaf of bread．She smiled，"I wanted to thank you for the tomatoes，and I have to admit I took a few other things too．"
Sharon couldn't think of anything else that had been worth harvesting．The neighbor went on saying，"You had some of the prettiest zucchini I've ever seen．"
Sharon was confused．They hadn't even planted any zucchini．But her neighbor insisted there were bright-green zucchini in her garden．Sharon decided to go to see where the zucchini had grown．The two of them walked into the backyard．When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables，Sharon smiled，"Well，actually，those are cucumbers that we never harvested，because they got too big，soft and bitter for eating．"
The neighbor looked at Sharon，shock written all over her face．Then，smiling，she held out the bread she had shared all over the neighborhood．"I brought you a nice loaf of cucumber bread．I hope you will like it．"
