People alwiz like to win! I admit, i am one of them! I like to win!! I like the feeling of winning somebody from a competition, exam or even in an argument! The feeling of winning is incompatible!! Nobody and understand other than yourself!!! Imagine that you can have all the ppl looking up at u and knowing that wat u say really does make sense!!! And the look at their faces when they realized how wrong they were!!! Wahaha (evil laugh...)
However, winning isn't everything. I've learned from my experience that winning sometimes isn't that good at all. In my pass, i used to hate those ppl whom overpass me. I treated them as my enemies and had this kind of a 'scary' look when they come near to me. I refused to share tips with them fearing that they will overtake me in my exams. I oso will keep a close track with my fren's grades. If let's say they get better than mine, den i will go super depress for a whole day. Then, i will plot up a plan on how to overtake them by the end of the semester. My life was basically very 'kiasu' and 'kiasi'. (note: i'm nt a Singaporean!)
Due to those days, i am now oso a bit 'kiasu' and 'kiasi' in my daily lives. Little as it seems bt it still bothers me a lot. I cannot look into the person's eyes whenever they overturned me. These r the post-kiasu/si symthomps that i'm suppose to deal with right now.
My high school fren used to say that 'kiasu' isn't wrong. It helps u to be more competitive and alwiz push yourself to the limits. Now, i hav my own way of defining. Being 'kiasu' until a reasonable level is ok. Example, i am still quite 'kiasu' in my studies. My reason now isn't to win over my frens bt to make sure that i achieve the standards that i've set for myself. Then, being overly 'kiasu' will only bring me endless of pain and suffering, nt to mention lesser friends and ur brain is alwiz being blocked or narrowed!
That's y, i am here to share with u all this article i've found in 'Nanyang Newspaper'. It's about 'How to win?' They din boast saying that winning is so great that we should be proud of it! Instead, they stressed on humbling oneself 1st then working your way up to success!!! So here goes...
嬴第一个字“亡”:
亡代表要有危机意识, 我们必须要随时了解我们所处的环境变化,过去成功的经验往往是未来失败最大的原因,安逸的日子久了,我们会越来越丧失斗志,有一个敌人或竞争者的好处是, 它至少不会让你便闷。
亡也可以表示'无' 的意思,要学习让自己归零,对很多人,事,物不要有主观的成见,能多方了解彼此的需求。亡也可以很单纯是死亡或结束之意,虽是结束,但生命的周期是无限开展的,它更象证了机会与无限的生命力。
第二个字是“口”:
口代表沟通,必须把你的想法告诉所属,要在不同的场合中宣示要达成的目标与决心。成功的沟通是双向的,除了有良好的言语表达能力之外,也要有倾听的能力。听得清楚,有助于彼此了解的需求,更有助于自己陈述论点。
第三个字是“月”:
月指的是时间,任何嬴都要时间的累积,需要在岁月上下功夫,泡沫式的英雄作风最后总如昙花一现般地消失无终。棒球投手要有很严格的训练,他无法从书本中得到嬴球的技巧,必须在一次一次的比赛中掌握自己的优势,训练自己的胆识与应变能力。
月也代表亲身的实践,代表你无法自用命令方式,让别人来助你成功,而是要以身作则,以德服人,那时就一般,闪亮耀人。
第四个字是“贝”:
有钱就一定会嬴吗?这也未必,有的人虽然没有钱不过有技术,智慧财产权,商标专利,人际关系,跨国性公司的经理经验。。。。。。等,这些可能都是无形的财产。
因此,“贝” 应是筹码,是可以为自己加分的要素,它可能就是一个人的独特性,而要任何增加自己的筹码呢?在知识的÷经济的时代÷里,随时增加自己的知识,保持学习的态度,就是最好的扎根方法。
第五个字是“凡”:
凡指的是平常心,我们努力去争取胜利,但是最后的成绩,往往不一定尽如天意。
中国人说:“赛翁失马,焉知非福。”在每个失败中都含有成功的因子,我相信从失败中学到的东西,要比从成功中学到的东西多得多。
“嬴” 字可以拆成“亡”“口”“月”“贝”“凡” 5 个字,将这5个字引申为5个赢家所备的态度。
