The Habit of Winning (Obiceiul de A Castiga) ~ Vince Lombardi
Cum Sa Gandesti Ca Un INVINGATOR!
"Winners never quit and quitters never win"
Vince Lombardi
In aceasta dimineata m-am trezit cu acest citat in minte: "Winners never quit and quitters never win." al lui Vince Lombardi, un celebru antrenor de fotbal american. Acest citat se incapatana sa alerge prin capul meu cu nesimtirea unei melodii de "sezon" care de vreme ce razbate din radiourile sau posturile tv, nu iti mai iese din cap. Intr-o incercare disperata, m-am asezat cu o ceasca de cafea in fata, si cu maraitul lui Vince in cap, pana cand la un final am zis ca... hai sa ii acord un pic de atentie.
"Ce faci in capul meu?" am intrebat. "De ce ma deranjezi si nu ma lasi sa-mi beau cafeaua in liniste?"
Dupa cateva inghitituri de lichid negru si fierbinte, raspunsul la intrebari a inceput sa curga in creier ca un suvoi prin culmea, aceeasi voce de macaronar a lui Vince: "Pentru ca tu vrei sa fii un INVINGATOR, iar pentru a fi un INVINGATOR trebuie sa tii minte un lucru, Invingatorii nu RENUNTA niciodata, iar cei care pierd nu CASTIGA niciodata."
Cu siguranta facea referire perioada mai dificila prin care trece-am!
Mi-am amintit brusc de un scurt discurs celebru al acestui antrenor Vince Lombardi, extras dintr-o carticica de aprox. 140 de pagini plina de citate si de vorbe pline de intelpciune despre succes, credinta, rasism, fotbal si afaceri.
Acesta este considerat cel mai bun discurs motivational din istorie, si are o aplicabilitate atat in viata sociala cat si in sport sau in activitatile profesionale. Am incercat si o traducere si o adaptare in limba romana, sper eu destul de reusita.
The Habit of Winning
by Vince Lombardi
"Winning is not a sometime thing. You don't win once-in-a-while. You don't do things right once-in-a-while. You do them right all the time.
Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay , and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game--but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be the first in anything we do and to win, and to win, and to win.
Every time a football player goes out to play, he's got to play from the ground up. From the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their
