Born to Win 生而為贏

　　Born to Win 生而為贏

　　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 “l(fā)oser” 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.

　　譯文：生而為贏

　　人皆生而為新，為前所未有之所存在;人皆生而能贏。人皆有其特立獨(dú)行之方式去審視，聆聽(tīng)，觸摸，品味及思考，因而都具備獨(dú)特潛質(zhì)-能力和局限。人皆能舉足輕重，思慮明達(dá)，洞察秋毫，富有創(chuàng)意，成就功業(yè)。

　　“成者”與“敗者”含義頗多。談及成者我們并非指令他人失意之人。對(duì)我們而言，成者必為人守信，值得信賴(lài)，有求必應(yīng)，態(tài)度誠(chéng)懇，或?yàn)閭�(gè)人，或?yàn)樯鐣?huì)一員皆能以真誠(chéng)回應(yīng)他人。

　　成者行事并不拘泥于某種信條，即便是他們認(rèn)為應(yīng)為其奉獻(xiàn)一生的理念;而是本色行事，所以并不把精力用來(lái)表演，保持偽裝或操控他人。他們明了愛(ài)與裝家，愚蠢與裝傻，博學(xué)與賣(mài)弄之間迥然有別。成者無(wú)須藏于面具之后。

　　成者敢于利用所學(xué)，獨(dú)立思考，區(qū)分事實(shí)與觀點(diǎn)，且并不佯裝通曉所有答案。他們傾聽(tīng)，權(quán)衡他人意見(jiàn)，但能得出自己的結(jié)論。盡管他們尊重，敬佩他們，但并不為他們所局限，所推翻，所束縛，也不對(duì)他人敬若神靈。

　　成者既不佯裝“無(wú)助”，亦不抱怨他人。相反，他們對(duì)人生總是獨(dú)擔(dān)責(zé)任，也不以權(quán)威姿態(tài)凌駕他人之上。他們主宰自己，而且能意識(shí)到這點(diǎn)。

　　成者善于審時(shí)度勢(shì)，隨機(jī)應(yīng)變。他們對(duì)所接受的信息做出回應(yīng)，維護(hù)當(dāng)事人的利益，康樂(lè)和尊嚴(yán)。成者深知成一事要看好時(shí)節(jié)，行一事要把握時(shí)機(jī)。

　　盡管成者可以自由享樂(lè)，但他更知如何推遲享樂(lè)，適時(shí)自律，以期將來(lái)樂(lè)趣更盛。成者并不忌憚追求所想，但取之有道，也并不靠控制他們而獲取安然之感。他們總是使自己立于不敗。

　　成者心憂天下，并不孤立塵世弊病之外，而是置身事內(nèi)，滿腔熱情，致力于改善民生。即使面對(duì)民族，國(guó)家之危亡，成者亦非無(wú)力回天之個(gè)體。他總是努力令世界更好。
