オリンピック選手を中見つける方法

デニス著 Waitley

最も高い台、中心の1に立っている。 群集からの承認のとどろきを聞く。 国歌の最初のノートがオリンピック競技場でされると同時に、この時に伴う自尊心すべてを感じ、名誉を与える。 歴史のこの1発の勝ち誇った時の準備の10,000時間。 金に勝った!

オリンピック選手権のその夢はあらゆるアマチュア運動選手の中心にちょうど壮大な最終、ワールドカップ、スーパーボールおよびウィンブルドンがプロフットボールプレーヤーおよびテニス選手の目的であるので、ある。 あなたの夢は何であるか。 本当らしいない世界に名高い運動選手が、確かにあなた専有物の抱負を有する。 多分あなたの会社のCEOまたはあなた自身の独特な方法で最もよいのためのあなたの友人そして家族があなたの首に置く比喩的な金メダルを想像する。 Misschien u om aan of benieuwd te zijn u tot het risico om uw eigen zaken te beginnen bent.

日曜日に、私の祖父母は私達にサンディエゴの動物園の隣で巨大なメリーゴーランドに乗るために子供を取る。 私達はそれらの振れるシマウマ、ライオン、トラおよび種馬を取付けるためにほとんど待つことができなかったし旧式な管器官の音楽に円形および円形を旋回させる。 ミラーおよびライトによって囲まれて、私達の中心は金の指輪をつかみ、別の乗車に勝つall theライダー間の1であることを試みる予想で私達が必死に広がったと同時に打ち砕く。 従って私の競争の精神を始めた。

私があるより若いおそらくので、決してコンベヤーの金の指輪をつかむことを聞くことができない。 But in the 40s, and 50s, if you reached out and caught it, you not only got a free ride―your name was also announced over the loudspeaker and all the other kids and their parents would applaud. And, of course, the kids all wished it could have been them instead of you.

Reflecting now on my youth, I’ve come to some realizations. I guess I did start out thinking of success and winning as something that you got by reaching outside yourself and proving to others that you were worthy. Come to think of it, most of my friends also believed that you had to prove or earn or win or perform in some special way, and then you would deserve the gold ring or the Olympic gold medal.

The approval of others seemed to precede feelings of self-confidence and self-worth. You were entitled to feel good about yourself only after you performed well. Why did it take me so many years to discover that just the reverse ought to be true?

After devoting most of my lifetime to investigating the wellsprings of personal and professional success, I’m able to make the following statements with great confidence:

• You need to feel love inside yourself before you can offer it to anyone else.
• Your own sense of value determines the quality of your performance. Performance is only a reflection of internal worth, not a measure of it.
• The less you try to impress, the more impressive you are.
• What you show the world on the outside is a mirror image of how you feel on the inside.
• You should chase your passion, not your pension.

The key trait shared by athletic champions and winners in every walk of life is the fundamental belief in one’s own internal value.

If your success depends on external possessions, you’ll be subject to constant anxiety. When your peer group cheers one of your accomplishments, you’ll feel good for a while, but then you’ll wonder if they’ll cheer as loudly the next time. If they’re critical, you will feel hurt and threatened. The truth is, you can never win over a long period if your concept of success depends upon the perfect performance or the placing of a gold medal around your neck.

It’s obvious that talent, looks and other attributes aren’t equally distributed, but we’re all given an abundance of value―more than we could use in several lifetimes. The game of life certainly isn’t played on a level playing field for each of us in terms of education, a supportive home life and other circumstances beyond our control, but I can assure you that you were born with the qualities of a champion. That’s what I mean by value.

You see, champions are born, but they can be unmade by their perceptions, exposure and responses. Losers are not born to lose. They’re programmed that way by their own responses to their environment and their decisions.

There’s a phrase I like to use―The Inner Winner―that describes the kind of person who recognizes his or her internal value, and who is able to use that recognition as the foundation for achieving any goal. The secret of wearing the gold medal around your neck in the external world is that first you must be an Inner Winner. You must recognize that you’re already an Olympian Within.
