Born to Win

nullBorn to Win by Muriel James & Dorothy JongewardBorn to Win by Muriel James & Dorothy JongewardBorn to WinBorn to WinAfter twenty years and more than 3 million copies sold, Born to Win proves that Transactional Analysis theory holds wide appeal for the American public attempting to decode and improve their interpersonal skills. Born to Win offers an overview of Transactional Analysis, emphasizes that the human spirit thrives in the midst of nurturing and positive attention, and suggests that everyone can become a winner if they first begin by embracing authenticity. Transactional Analysis establishes as its ultimate goal the achievement of autonomy and one can achieve mastery over one's self and others by learning to identify those parts of one's self which operate ineffectively by producing conflict inside and outside the self.Muriel JamesMuriel JamesDr. Muriel James is the author of the bestseller Born to Win: Transactional Analysis With Gestalt Experiments , the 1971 bestseller based upon the ideas of Transactional Analysis of Dr. Eric Berne.  Dr. Muriel James earned a doctorate from the University of California at Berkeley.  During her time in California, Dr. James became a student of Dr. Berne, learning his theories of Transactional Analysis and games, as seen in Berne's Games People Play.  She became an early member of the International Transactional Analysis Association and she is still active within the Transactional Analysis community.Dorothy JongewardDorothy JongewardDr. Dorothy Jongeward is an internationally prominent management consultant who has pioneered the field of productivity through "people skills."

To be clear about what success is must be the first step to achieving success. Hold a discussion on the conceptions about success and try to give your own successful experiences.nullWinning means being happy. Winning means being NO.1 or one of the best in your field. Winning means being able to overcome great difficulties that others can’t. nullWinning means making a lot of money. Winning means doing what you enjoy and being good at it. Winning means having good health and a happy family. Winning means that you can be the kind of person you want to be .²    nullGenerally, success is the realization of one’s hopes and justified (正当的) ideals. Under such a general notion (概念，定义), however, people have different understandings of success because the hopes and ideals they appreciate (欣赏，珍惜) vary from individual to individual (因人而异). In my point of view, the definition of success includes four steps: 1) a goal to set; 2) challenges to be met; 3) the process of surmounting (克服) difficulties, and 4) the reward of success.nullIn the first step, one should set a goal that is worthy of pursuing and attainable with effort. Then success begins the moment one starts to pursue the goal. Following the goal-setting, there should be challenges and the process of surmounting difficulties in the pursuit of the goal. These two steps are essential because success acquires its value in accepting challenges, in overcoming difficulties and in enduring hardships.Success isSuccess isTo laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;nullTo appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one's self; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;nullTo have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - As to Ralph Waldo Emerson nullDirections: Hold a discussion on these misconceptions about success and try to give your own successful experiences. Once I’m successful，my troubles are over.Once I’m successful，my troubles are over.You may be successful, but you may still have the ups and downs in your life. Enjoy the success you achieve and live each day as it comes. It takes a lot of luck to be successful.It takes a lot of luck to be successful.Sure, it takes “some” luck to be successful. But it takes a lot more intelligence, diligence and knowledge Some people can’t be successful because of the background, education, etc. Some people can’t be successful because of the background, education, etc. Anybody can be successful.
