新素养 价值导向 I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always mean success.
All around the world, most people hope to win. We cheer for winners. We have become so focused(注意力集中的) on that end result instead of the process(过程), and when
it is a win, we usually didn't care how we got there.
We need to redefine success. Real success is developing winners in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can't plan our way to success.
Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women's Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other "successful" coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to try our best to win.
After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance(傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time out, and I chose to change. I realized that I needed to support our student players as whole persons, not just players who won.
It is so much easier to give orders than to encourage someone to be better. And it takes a really long time to change. The key was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let's think about what you are talking with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that time to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the duty to develop winners in life for our world. That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win.
