[00:05.11]100. Born to Win [00:11.37]Each human being is born as something new, something that never existed before. [00:17.65]Each is born with the capacity to win at life. [00:21.26]Each person has a unique way of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and thinking. [00:28.79]Each has his or her own unique potentials - capabilities and limitations. [00:35.33]Each can be a significant, thinking, aware, and creative being - a productive person, a winner. [00:43.13]The word “winner” and “l(fā)oser” have many meanings. [00:47.54]When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who makes someone else lose. [00:54.01]To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, [01:01.39]and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society. [01:07.10]Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; [01:12.34]rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, [01:18.72]maintaining pretence, and manipulating others. [01:22.82]They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, [01:27.92]between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. [01:35.15]Winners do not need to hide behind a mask. [01:39.06]Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge. [01:44.07]They can separate facts from opinion and don’t pretend to have all the answers. [01:49.40]They listen to others, evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions. [01:56.06]Although winners can admire and respect other people, they are not totally defined, [02:01.65]demolished, bound, or awed by them. [02:05.17]Winners do not play “helpless”, nor do they play the blaming game. [02:10.00]Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives. [02:14.70]They do not give others a false authority over them. Winners are their own bosses and know it. [02:22.10]A winner’s timing is right. Winners respond appropriately to the situation. [02:28.68]Their responses are related to the message sent and preserve the significance, [02:33.67]worth, well-being, and dignity of the people involved. [02:38.39]Winners know that for everything there is a season and for every activity a time. [02:45.37]Although winners can freely enjoy themselves, they can also postpone enjoyment, [02:50.74]can discipline themselves in the present to enhance their enjoyment in the future. [02:56.30]Winners are not afraid to go after what they want, but they do so in appropriate ways. [03:03.16]Winners do not get their security by controlling others. They do not set themselves up to lose. [03:10.62]A winner cares about the world and its peoples. [03:14.27]A winner is not isolated from the general problems of society, but is concerned, [03:20.17]compassionate, and committed to improving the quality of life. [03:25.39]Even in the face of national and international adversity, a winner’s self-image is not one of a powerless individual. [03:33.98]A winner works to make the world a better place.
