Winners

成功者

Muriel James & Dorothy Jongeward(缪里尔·詹姆斯　多萝西·钟沃德)

Each human being is born as something new, something that never existed before. He is born

with what he needs to win at life. Each person in his own way can see, hear, touch, taste, and think

for himself. Each has his unique potentials — his capabilities and limitations. Each can be a

significant, thinking, aware, and creatively productive person in his own right — a winner.

Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather,

they are themselves 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 have different potentials. Achievement is not the most important thing. Authenticity

is. The authentic person experiences the reality of himself by knowing himself, being

himself, and becoming a credible , responsive person. He actualizes his own unprecedented

uniqueness and appreciates the uniqueness of others.

A winner is not afraid to do his own thinking and to use his own knowledge. He can separate

facts from opinions and doesn't pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluates

what they say, but comes to his own conclusions. While he can admire and respect other people,

he is not totally defined, 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 do not 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, wellbeing, and dignity of the

people involved. Winners know that for everything there is a season and for every activity a time.

A winner can be spontaneous . He doesn't have to respond in predetermined , rigid

ways. He can change his plans when the situation calls for it. A winner has a zest for life. He

enjoys work, play, food, other people, and the world of nature. Without guilt he enjoys his own

accomplishments. Without envy he enjoys the accomplishments of others.

Although a winner can freely enjoy himself, he can also postpone enjoyment. He can

discipline himself in the present to enhance his enjoyment in the future. He is not afraid to go after

what he wants but does so in appropriate ways. He does not get his security by controlling others.

A winner cares about the world and its people. 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 , he does not see himself as

totally powerless. A winner does what he can to make the world a better place.

每个人生来都是全新的，都是前所未有的。他出生时就具备了成为生活赢家所需要的

一切。每个人都能够以自己的方式去看、听、触摸、品尝、为自己着想。每个人都有独特

的潜力——他的能力和局限。每个人都能凭自己的能力成为有意义的、有思想的、明智

的、富有创造性的人——一个成功者。

成功者对事物从不主观臆断，说得确切一点，他们是这样的人：不把精力花在做样

子、弄虚作假、操控他人上。他们明白爱与装爱、糊涂与装糊涂、博学与装博学之间的差

别。成功者不需要戴面具。

成功者有不同的潜能。成就并不是最重要的。真实才是。真实的人自知、自在，成为

一个可信赖、负责任的人，体验到真实的自我。他发挥自己的卓越才能，并欣赏他人的才

华。

成功者喜欢独立思考，运用自己的知识，他能够把事实与观点区分开来，决不假装什

么都懂。他从善如流，评估他人的话，但有主见，不人云亦云。虽然他能够钦羡尊敬他

人，但并不完全为他人所限定、束缚或敬畏。

成功者不会“一筹莫展”，也不玩怨天尤人的游戏。相反，他们为自己的生活负责。他

们不让别人毫无道理地对自己颐指气使。成功者是自己的主人，他们深知这一点。

成功者对时机的把握恰到火候。成功者恰当地对形势做出反应。他们的反应与传递的

信息相关，并保护了有关人士的名誉、价值、福利和尊严。成功者知道，一切皆有时令，

每个活动都有时机。

成功者是随和的。他不必以预先想好的、呆板的方式回应。他随着形势的需要而改变

计划。成功者对生活充满激情，喜爱工作，喜好娱乐，喜欢美食，爱人类，也爱大自然。

他为自己的成就而骄傲，心中无愧；他为别人的成就而欣喜，毫无妒意。

成功者虽然能够自由自在地享受生活，但他也能够迟滞享受。他能够现在约束自己以

获得未来更多的享受。他不怕追求自己心仪的东西，但却是以适当的方式。他不以控制别

人来获得自己的安全。

成功者关爱世间苍生，顾念人间疾苦，关注社会的普遍问题，富有同情心，致力于改

善生活质量。甚至在面对国家和世界灾难时，他也不完全把自己看作无能为力。成功者尽

其所能，让世界变得更加美好。
