原文
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.
人皆生而為新，為前所未有之所存在。人皆生而能贏。人皆有其特立獨行之方式去審視、聆聽、觸摸，品味及思考，因而都具備獨特潛質-能力和局限。人皆能舉足輕重、思慮明達、洞察秋毫、富有創意，成就功業。
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.
成者行事並不拘泥於某種信條，即便是他們認為應為其奉獻一生的理念；而是本色行事，所以並不把精力用來表演，保持偽裝或操控他人。他們明了愛與裝家，愚蠢與裝傻，博學與賣弄之間迥然有別。成者無須藏於面具之後。
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.
成者敢於利用所學，獨立思考，區分事實與觀點，且並不佯裝通曉所有答案。他們傾聽，權衡他人意見，但能得出自己的結論。儘管他們尊重，敬佩他們，但並不為他們所局限、所推翻、所束縛，也不對他人敬若神靈。
