How to Be a Winner
Sir Steven Redgrave
Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病).Believing my career(职业生涯) was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn‟t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn‟t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”
Karen Pickering
Swimming World Champion
“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to suceess—you can‟t follow a career in any field without being wellorganized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you‟ll be a step closer to achieving them.”
Kirsten Best Poet & Writer
“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can‟t achieve something. Then，there are other as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as„calm‟，„peace‟or„focus‟， either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological(心理的) tool.”
