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---capabilities and limitations. Each can be a significant, thinking, aware, and creative being---a productive person, a winner.

The word “winner” and “loser” have many 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 dedicated 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.

Winners do not play “helpless”, nor do they play the blaming game. Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives. They don’t give others a false authority over them. Winners are their own bosses and know it.

A winner’s timing is right. Winners respond appropriately to the situation. Their responses are related to the message sent and preserve the significance, worth, well-being, and dignity of the people involved. Winners know that for everything there is a season and for every activity a time.

Although winners can freely enjoy themselves, they can also postpone enjoyment, can discipline themselves in the present to enhance their enjoyment in the future. Winners are not afraid to go after what he wants, but they do so in proper ways. Winners do not get their security by controlling others. They do not set themselves up to lose.

A winner cares about the world and its peoples. A winner is not isolated from the general problems of society, but is concerned, compassionate, and committed to improving the quality of life. Even in the face of national and international adversity, a winner’s self-image is not one of a powerless individual. A winner works to make the world a better place.





每个人一出生都是前所未有的新事物;每个人与生俱来就有一种在生活中赢得能力;每个人都有其看、听、触、尝、和想的独特方式;每个人都有他/她自己独一无二的潜质——能力和局限性;每个人都能成为一个有影响力、有思想、有意识和有创造力的人——一个多产的人,一个赢家。


“赢家”和“输家”这两个词有许多意思。当我们说一个人是赢家的时候,并不是说其他的人就是输家。对于我们来说,一个真正的赢家是作为个人也是作为社会的一员所进行的可靠性、可信性和真实性的回应。


赢家是不会局限于他们自己所想象的理想模型中;相反,他们做他们自己,不会刻意的去表现、掩饰和控制他人。他们知道真的爱和假装的爱是不同的;真的愚蠢和假的愚蠢是不同的;真的聪明和假的聪明是不同的。赢家是不需要生活在面具之下的。


赢家是不害怕独立思考和使用自己的知识的。他们会区分事实和观点,不会假装自己知道所有的答案。他们倾听他人,揣摩他们的话语从而得出自己的结论。尽管赢家敬佩和尊重他人,但他们也不会就此被下定义,被摧毁,被约束以及对他人敬若神灵。

赢家既不假装“无助”,也不抱怨他人。相反,他们为自己的人生负责,也不会用权威来凌驾于他人。他们是自己的主宰并且深知这一点。


赢家要懂得把握时机和随机应变。他们要对信息的发送做出反应,维护当事人的利益,安康和尊严。他们知道做好一件事情要把握时节,而做一件事情则要看好时机。


尽管赢家能够自由的享乐,但他们会推迟享乐时间,因为他们深知现在的约束和自律是为了以后更大化的享受。赢家不会害怕去追逐他想要的,但他们会用一种合适的方式,他们不会通过控制他人来获得安全感,因为他们总是使自己立于不败之地。


赢家会关心时事和人民,他不会对社会去边存在的问题漠不关心,而是以关心和同情的心态并付诸行动的去提高生活质量。甚至在面对国家和世界的不幸时,他也不认为自己的努力是徒劳的。他总是努力令世界变得更美好。
