  How to be a winner 

Sir Steven Redgrave 

Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

 “In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病), Believing my career (职业生涯) was over,I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way. ”

Karen Pickering 

Swimming World Champion

 “I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself,write down your goals for the day,however small they are,and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them. ” 

Kirsten Best 

Poet Writer

 “When things are getting hard,a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve anything. Then,there are other distractions,such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense,it helps a lot to repeat words such as calm, “peace”or “focus”either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological (心理的) tool. ”

 Jimmy is an automotive mechanic,but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart,but always fears applying for a new job.

  One day,he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10:00 am and it was already 8 : 30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed,he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car,the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him;he just helped someone in need,and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well,I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist. ” Jimmy agreed. 

  Upon arrival,Jimmy found a long line of applications waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease (油腻物) on him after the repair,but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one,the applicants left the interviewer’s office with a disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth,he asked, “Do you really need to be in-terviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now,how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.

  Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise,it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.

  It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

 “Sorry to keep you waiting,but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

  Stay on the brighter side of life One very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful. In fact,there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well-being. Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you’re grateful for.1.        Feeling down? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone,try acting like you’re happy—even if you aren’t. A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain,so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well.2.        Reassure yourself that everything is good—even if you don’t feel it.

 “3.        If you’re stuck in traffic,then everything else must be going horribly too”’says Anne Parker,a wellness counselor. By blowing negative events out of proportion,you’re setting yourself up for feeling down all day. Instead,acknowledge that you’re stuck in traffic,but also bring to mind something good,like the beautiful scenery outside the window. That way,you’ll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.

  Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness,but they take time to achieve.4.        You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated. However,if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way,you will feel positive about your progress,which will give you the strength to keep going.

  5.        Try making someone else’s day better. A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non-volunteers. Plus,89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well-being,and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life.

   A. Try to help someone in need.

   B. Want to give your attitude a lift?

   C. People tend to think in an either-or way.

   D. Act in an optimistic way—smile,laugh,tell a joke.

   E. You’ll fail to appreciate more important things in your life.

   F. By focusing on not having accomplished them yet,you will start to feel down on yourself.

   G. By remembering the pleasant things in your life,you can actually turn a negative attitude around.
