Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Each one of us is always in danger of not
- 0:03Speaker 1: being the unique and untransferable self which he is. Stimulating utopia,
- 0:12Speaker 1: a secret legend with each of us guards in the
- 0:15Speaker 1: depths of his heart, become what you are. A man
- 0:30Speaker 1: can stand a lot as long as he can stand himself.
- 0:38Speaker 1: He can live without hope, without books, without friends, without music,
- 0:43Speaker 1: as long as he can listen to his own thoughts.
- 0:48Speaker 1: As long as he can listen to his own thoughts.
- 0:53Speaker 1: It means not sitting and wallowing in our old beliefs,
- 0:55Speaker 1: but moving out of them into new, fresh territory. It
- 1:01Speaker 1: means asking the question, am I living by my standards
- 1:04Speaker 1: or by the standards of those about me? You know
- 1:06Speaker 1: they living by their own standards or the standards of
- 1:08Speaker 1: those about them. The greatest danger, that of losing one's
- 1:16Speaker 1: own self, may pass off quietly as if it were nothing.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Every other loss, that of an arm, a leg, five dollars,
- 1:25Speaker 1: or so forth, is sure to be noticed. Happiness is
- 1:32Speaker 1: to life what a pain job is to a product.
- 1:34Speaker 1: It's the glistening veneer and nothing more. What counts as
- 1:38Speaker 1: the product itself, It's quality, the depth, the truth of
- 1:41Speaker 1: its design and purpose. The whole idea is to become
- 1:48Speaker 1: a winner as opposed to becoming a loser. But just
- 1:53Speaker 1: who is a winner and what do we mean by losing?
- 2:02Speaker 1: Each human being is born as something new, something that
- 2:04Speaker 1: never existed before. He's born with what he needs to
- 2:08Speaker 1: win at life. Each has his own unique potentials, his capabilities,
- 2:15Speaker 1: and limitations. Each can be a significant, thinking, aware, and
- 2:24Speaker 1: creatively protective person in his own right a winner. When
- 2:31Speaker 1: we refer to a person as a winner, we do
- 2:33Speaker 1: not mean one who beats the other guy by winning
- 2:36Speaker 1: over him and making him loose. To us, a winner
- 2:43Speaker 1: is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive,
- 2:48Speaker 1: and genuine. A loser is one who fails to respond authentically.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Achievement is not the most important thing. Authenticity is. The
- 3:05Speaker 1: authentic person experiences the reality of himself. By knowing himself,
- 3:10Speaker 1: being himself, and becoming a credible, responsive person, he actualizes
- 3:19Speaker 1: his own unprecedented uniqueness and appreciates the uniqueness of others.
- 3:27Speaker 1: He does not dedicate his life to a concept of
- 3:30Speaker 1: what he imagines he should be. Rather, he is himself,
- 3:37Speaker 1: and as such he does not use his energy putting
- 3:39Speaker 1: on a performance, maintaining pretense and manipulating others into his games.
- 3:46Speaker 1: A winner can reveal himself instead of projecting images that please, provoke,
- 3:51Speaker 1: or entice others. He's aware that there's a difference between
- 3:55Speaker 1: being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid,
- 4:03Speaker 1: between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. He does not need
- 4:07Speaker 1: to hide behind a mask. He throws off unrealistic self
- 4:12Speaker 1: images of inferiority or superiority. Autonomy does not fighten the winner.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Autonomy does not frighten a winner. A winner maintains a
- 4:32Speaker 1: basic faith in himself. A winner is not afraid to
- 4:35Speaker 1: do his own thinking and to use his own knowledge.
- 4:39Speaker 1: He can separate facts from opinion and doesn't pretend to
- 4:42Speaker 1: have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluates what
- 4:47Speaker 1: they say, but comes to his own conclusions. And while
- 4:49Speaker 1: he can admire and respect other people, he's not totally defined, demolished, bound,
- 4:56Speaker 1: or odd by them.
- 5:01Speaker 2: It's going to be hard work climbing up the lad
- 5:03Speaker 2: of it. We can handle it, don't you agree.
- 5:05Speaker 1: He winner does not play helpless now does he play
- 5:09Speaker 1: the blaming game. Instead, he assumes responsibility for his own life.
- 5:15Speaker 1: He does not give others a false authority over him.
- 5:18Speaker 1: He's his own boss and knows it. He knows that
- 5:25Speaker 1: for everything there is a season, and for every activity
- 5:27Speaker 1: a time and a time to be aggressive, and a
- 5:31Speaker 1: time to be passive, a time to be together, and
- 5:36Speaker 1: a time to be alone.
- 5:37Speaker 2: This is why I used to be.
- 5:43Speaker 1: A time to fight, and a time to love, and
- 5:49Speaker 1: a time to cry, and a time to laugh, a
- 5:54Speaker 1: time to confront and a time to withdraw, a time
- 6:00Speaker 1: to speak and a time to be silent. We've blinded
- 6:20Speaker 1: that ours is the only species on earth whose natural
- 6:23Speaker 1: state is one of disorientation, and therefore each of us
- 6:26Speaker 1: must create his own world. And even if the creation
- 6:31Speaker 1: of our world consists of nothing more than playing copycat,
- 6:37Speaker 1: closing our eyes and ears, and just blindly following the
- 6:40Speaker 1: person in front of us, hoping that somehow he or
- 6:42Speaker 1: the person he's following knows where he's going, and that
- 6:45Speaker 1: when we get there we'll both like it, we simply
- 6:49Speaker 1: let the tide take us. As this hasn't the past,
- 6:53Speaker 1: and this is simply another form of avoiding the agony
- 6:55Speaker 1: of making meaningful, faithful decision. When a person lacks identity
- 7:01Speaker 1: within himself, he will often strive to find it in
- 7:03Speaker 1: an organization of some sort, which will take over the
- 7:05Speaker 1: decision making row.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Become what you are, humans and creatures of comparison, constantly
- 7:31Speaker 2: deciding whether things are good or bad, or better or
- 7:34Speaker 2: worse than other things. Eventually they would make so many
- 7:37Speaker 2: comparisons that our overloaded brains will accept anything.
- 7:48Speaker 3: No one fighting. There's no other choices there.
- 7:51Speaker 2: We have to keep fighting to survive. Yes, you're right,
- 7:58Speaker 2: and I'm going to do everything I can do to
- 8:00Speaker 2: help you.
- 8:04Speaker 3: I want to be free, free from pain, free from fear,
- 8:11Speaker 3: free to take as much as I want to give,
- 8:13Speaker 3: as much as I want. Someday, somehow that's the way
- 8:22Speaker 3: it's gonna be.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Why is remembering so hard? Free because he died once?
- 8:37Speaker 1: Will will up like a man can stand a lot
- 9:05Speaker 1: as long as he can stand himself, and he has
- 9:09Speaker 1: the courage to admit that he may be wrong, even
- 9:11Speaker 1: about matters of the greatest importance, making one faithful decision
- 9:16Speaker 1: after another against seemingly insuperblods. His life is autonomy and action.
- 9:25Speaker 1: He goes by his gut feelings. He listens to the
- 9:29Speaker 1: voice within. If one advances confidently in the direction of
- 9:34Speaker 1: his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he
- 9:37Speaker 1: has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in
- 9:39Speaker 1: common hours. And although people are born to win but
- 9:50Speaker 1: also born helpless and totally dependent on their environment. Two
- 9:53Speaker 1: winners successfully make the transition from total helplessness to independence
- 9:58Speaker 1: and then to interdependence. Losers do not. A liser may
- 10:05Speaker 1: not recognize that for the most part he's been building
- 10:08Speaker 1: his own cage and taking his own grave, and is
- 10:11Speaker 1: a bore to himself. He loses, seldom lives in the present.
- 10:19Speaker 1: He destroys the present by occupying his mind with past
- 10:21Speaker 1: memories or future expectations. The key word in our thinking
- 10:33Speaker 1: and our conduct, in our goals and in our lives
- 10:36Speaker 1: is authenticity. We need to become what we are
