Born to Win

by Muriel James and Dorothy Jongeward

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 ne who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society.

人皆生而為贏，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，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。對我們而言，成者必為人守信，值得信賴，有求必應(yīng)，態(tài)度誠懇，或為個人，或為社會一員皆能以真誠回應(yīng)他人。
