    External help from books on techniques, skills, training methods, and achievements of successful athletes can be beneficial in improving one's performance in a particular sport.

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that the power of emotion, specifically the additional trigger, can aid in cultivating a mindset of always being a winner.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    This statement suggests that if you are constantly aware of your weaknesses, tensions, fears, and inferiorities, it indicates that you have not fully developed the motivational quality of enthusiasm. In other words, a person who is truly enthusiastic is able to focus on their strengths and positive aspects rather than dwelling on their weaknesses and negative emotions. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Enthusiasm can survive in a mind packed full of unhealthy, negative ideas and concepts.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Enthusiasm is a positive and optimistic state of mind. It is unlikely to survive in a mind that is filled with unhealthy and negative ideas and concepts. Negative thoughts tend to drain energy and dampen enthusiasm. Therefore, the statement that enthusiasm can survive in a mind packed full of unhealthy, negative ideas and concepts is false.

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Self-suggestion refers to the process of consciously or subconsciously influencing one's own thoughts, beliefs, or behaviors. It is a self-directed process that originates from within an individual, rather than being controlled by external factors. Therefore, the statement that self-suggestion is purposefully controlled from without is incorrect.

Both know-how and knowledge are important components of a winner attitude as they enable individuals to effectively navigate challenges and achieve their goals.
