Winners and Losers
"I'm afraid I can't be doing with people like her. She was always a poor spirited thing never anything to say for herself, lets people walk all over her. She ought to be more assertive, push herself forward a bit. She'll never get anywhere."

"Poor spirited" “No spirit in him" We know the type. Totally lacking in gumption. No ambition. Wimps. Certainly not destined for success in the world.
As CJ would have said, “I didn't get where I am today by being weak spirited!"
But what did the man on the hill say?
“Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven”
