正文
Born to Win
生而为?/p>
Each human being is born as something new, something that never existed before. Each is born
with the capacity to win at life. Each person has a unique way of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting
and thinking. Each has his or her own unique potentials
?/p>
capabilities and limitations. Each can be
a significant, thinking, aware, and creative being
?/p>
a productive person, a winner.
The word “winner?nbsp;and “loser?nbsp;have man
y meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we
do
not
mean
one
who
makes
someone
else
lose.
To
us,
a
winner
is
one
who
responds
authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and
as a member of a society.
Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather,
they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining
pretence
and
manipulating
others.
They
are
aware
that
there
is
a
difference
between
being
loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable
and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.
Winners
are
not
afraid
to
do
their
own
thinking
and
to
use
their
own
knowledge.
They
can
separate
facts
from
opinions
and
don't
pretend
to
have
all
the
answers.
They
listen
to
others;
evaluate what
they
say,
but
come
to
their
own
conclusions.
Although
winners
can admire
and
respect other people, they are not totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them.
