Each human being is born as something new, something that never existed before. He is born with what he needs to win at life. Each person in his own way can see, hear, touch, taste, and think for himself. Each has his unique potentials-his capabilities and limitations. Each can be a significant, thinking, aware, and creatively productive person in his own right-a winner.

Winners have different potentials. Achievement is not the most important thing. Authenticity is. The authentic person experiences the reality of himself by knowing himself, being himself, and becoming a credible, responsive person. He actualizes his own unprecedented uniqueness and appreciates the uniqueness of others.

A winner is not afraid to do his own thinking and to use his own knowledge. He can separate facts from opinion and doesn"t pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluated what they say, but comes to his own conclusions. While he can admire and respect other people, he is not totally defined, bound, or awed by them.
