They say that effort is appreciated, but only victory counts. A person cannot eat from intention or effort, but from the realization of a work, from the results of work or from victory in a battle (to live, to survive) it is different. Effort is valued only symbolically, but in the market economy, only victory is counted and only the result is valued! How should schools in Slovakia teach as many future winners as possible?

The winner is always alone

In a market economy, it's like a jungle. The strongest survive and do best. Not by physical strength, but by a complex combination of qualities (wisdom, cleverness, cunning, courage, inner strength...etc.). The best-selling (more than 100 million books sold worldwide) writer at the moment, Paolo Coelho, wrote a brilliant book on this topic called THE WINNER IS ALWAYS ALONE. Because many are good and above average. But the best winner is always only one! Our schools (in Europe) teach more collectively, but the American ones (USA) churn out more individualists. Therefore, let's not be surprised that the life dream of a 16-year-old teenager in America is to be a successful private entrepreneur like billionaire Bill Gates, but mostly the ambition of the same teenager in Europe is rather to be a well-paid civil servant.

Inspirations from nature for the actions of winners

Nature gave, gives and will give answers, inspirations, impulses and a helping hand to many hitherto unanswered and newly defined questions and problems of man. Only in that nature one must know how to reign well on the part of the people. For example, to look for and protect it wisely and responsibly so that it does not cease to exist in today's form. Biodiversity applies not only in the ecological sense, but also in terms of some amazing and remarkable dominant features of animals (fauna) and plants (flora). For example, for humans, the well-thought-out flight of geese, or the organization of the work of ants when building an anthill, or the creative playfulness of dolphins is definitely a system-process model. As I teach my little boy to understand the world, he often asks me what animal I would like to be if I had to be one. My answer is that my pattern would be a four combination:

  1. dolphin (smart as a dolphin)
  2. dog (faithful mute friend of man and brave as a guard dog protecting the owner's house)
  3. horse (strength)
  4. fox (sly and cunning enough to withstand the traps and snares of today's brutal world)

Signs of wisdom through today's eyes

An experienced parent and teacher - he teaches children, pupils and students, above all, the most powerful weapon available to man. It is wisdom. However, even in today's demanding world, the perception of wisdom is extremely confused and incoherent. In general, people whose potential and equipment (evidence of success) includes as much of the following arsenal as possible are considered to excel in wisdom:

  1. Natural authority
  2. Recognition of the surroundings
  3. Philanthropism and humanism
  4. Value compass: Being is more than having
  5. Ethical compass: Live and let live.
  6. Above the standard of material wealth
  7. Winner
  8. Ability to eliminate risks
  9. Know how to live well
  10. Reason, wit, intelligence, insight, system-process thinking, etc.

You can become wise

A person doesn't have to be born wise, but he can become one if he really wants to and actively strives for it. The main wisdom is to be able to quickly not only learn, but especially learn from the mistakes of others, not just your own. It's cheaper and less painful. The eternal rival and competitor and opposite of wisdom is stupidity. If people want to be better off, it would be good to really learn as soon as possible not only to love, but also to worship wisdom. Wise people belong to a knowledge society. This is a chance for higher prosperity of business, entrepreneurship and the nation everywhere in the world, not only in Slovakia.

Wake Up

Awakening to wisdom through knowledge, knowledge, maturity, experience and a combination of theory and practice is different for each person. Enlightenment usually happens through education, reading books (better refinement of the imagination than with movies or television), watching and analyzing information from the media, comparing, playing chess, meditating, exercising, training, participating in knowledge competitions, learning from the legacy of ancestors (poems, songs, proverbs, proverbs, messages) and own creation and an active approach to life. The magic of wisdom is a good cult and one of the few positive viruses that should be spread as much as possible to the whole world so that the world lives a better and more beautiful life. Among the famous manipulative techniques, there are about 30 different procedures. Although they are also collectively called secretive as forbidden rhetoric, one of them is manipulative charisma. Acquisition is part of business and dominates marketing. The ability to interest, excite, convince and positively manipulate people is the domain of the best. And therefore also the most successful advisors.

Awe others

In life, we remember the most people who act obviously non-standard and send sympathetic signals on our wavelength. There's something about them that we like... Or appearance, depth of voice, way of speaking, walk, clothes, wisdom or a complex extremely pleasant appearance and persuasiveness. They know how to amaze you. What does that mean? I.e. to fascinate, to interest, to appeal to, to set fire to something. They are simply complexly sexy and can be extremely pleased with something. That something is always more inside (psychic beauty) than outside (physical beauty). We usually call such people practically charismatic.

The recognition of the surroundings belongs to charisma and humility

People love those people who are masters of their lives, live in humility, have the gift of charisma and know how to radiate. On such a wavelength that is pleasant and arouses sympathy. Charisma - is, by definition, a set of qualities recognized by the environment, on the basis of which a person with such qualities can become a leader influencing a wide range of people with his actions, without being formally appointed as their representative. A charismatic personality usually has the following characteristics: he feels strong emotions himself, can evoke them in other people, and resists the influence of other people without problems. People love those - who inspire sympathy. They are not only unique and exceptionally good at something, but also have charisma /preachers, motivational speakers, communication skills trainers, top athletes, actors, singers and other stars of show business, national personalities, the smartest scientists, etc./. Charisma can also be acquired genetically and therefore innate, but mostly it can be cultivated and trained - through reading good valuable books, through developing skills in communication and rhetorical exercises, through moderator practices and political speeches, through getting to know the basics of psychological techniques and technologies to engage the listener, reader or viewer.

Charisma – ten tips for training

  1. Unusual and Smile: Act unusual and practice a sincere smile
  2. Solo output: Demonstratively cough up the opinions of others
  3. Message: Proclaim, demand, issue new commandments
  4. Originality: Stand out with unconventional thinking
  5. Attractiveness and Acting: Refine personal magnetism. Claim to reject all red tape and learn to be likable.
  6. Principle: Always act from conviction, not for petty success
  7. Character: Do not be bribed. Only accept money to implement your ideas
  8. Role Models: Learn from the role models of charismatic personalities
  9. Humanity: Cultivate the fragrance of humanity and develop humanity
  10. A person, not a machine: you are a living organism, like an inanimate mechanism

WINNERS PROCEDURE = 9 (Victory Letter) + 10 (Victory Points)

Nine wins

Vision, will, faith: the winner must have vision, self-belief and the will to overcome obstacles Ingenuity, awareness, intelligence, innovativeness: the winner is different from the rest. That's why he's a winner, because he's special. He likes work, activity, action: He likes and literally loves his work and creations and results. Alternative, ambition, assertiveness, self-motivation: Ambitious and assertive alternate. It offers several alternatives, selects and specifies the best one from them. Z-interesting, earnings, profit, meaning, principle: He can make a profit of everything he has learned. Profit uses positively. As the meaning of every income - in the form of effect, contribution, income, benefit and benefit (profit and benefit). S-en, freedom, improvement, idiosyncrasy, power, stimulation, self-control: The power of a dream in freedom and idiosyncrasy is the most powerful personal driving engine of a winner. Self-management based on incentives improves goals and increases performance. T-exercise, pressure, training, top: Desire puts pressure on training, because it is a difficult goal - TOP (peak). In-knowledge, testing, variants: Knowledge from theory must be tested in practice. More variants with awareness of strengths and weaknesses always offers a better choice and a wiser final decision and more correct conclusions. O-dvaha, sacrifice, prudence, personality: Without the courage and sacrifices of prudent personalities, there are no great deeds and even the best works would not be created.

Ten fundamental impulses

The actions of winners have their specific know-how also in their own thought patterns - where belief in one's own strength dominates and the following are especially favored: tenacity, will, modesty and hard work. Society, your immediate surroundings and even some scientists emphasize a daily present that, in addition to competition and rivalry, the basic principles of a market economy include the ability to overcome problems, challenges, partners and rivals. A person must constantly develop knowledge, willpower and determination if he wants to become successful in life and in his profession. Winning in self-realization means being able to do business well with one's own resources - intelligence, powers, abilities, potential.

Ten in action of the winner

As an inspiring example of know-how to victory, you can also use the selected tried and tested tips (TEN WINNERS) presented in the following text:

  1. The winner does not know failures, because according to him, they do not exist. There is only the knowledge that the given path was not the right one. There are no problems, only chances: chances to learn, to improve, to understand. There are no problems - there are only opportunities: the opportunity to prove something new.
  2. The winner thinks creatively-inventively-cautiously and therefore always has more alternatives ready to solve the problem. Even in nature, the individual who can behave differently in a given situation wins. The one who can perform only one reaction is at a disadvantage. A single response to a given stimulus is a dangerous limitation that puts us at a disadvantage compared to other individuals who can respond in multiple ways.
  3. The winner is not afraid of mistakes - because he learns from each of them.
  4. The winner has his dream - but he is not a dreamer: he knows that achieving the goal is not easy, but it is realistic.
  5. The winner is looking for new variants.
  6. The winner puts pressure on himself. He acts according to the principle: I always want, I can, I will do it!
  7. The winner is enchanted by his goal. His desire is the driving force behind the effort.
  8. The winner knows his worth (he does not know rejection and always looks for ways to solve the matter according to the motto "who wants to solve - looks for ways, and who doesn't - looks for reasons").
  9. The winner likes his actions (he appreciates his own work and can enjoy it more than the financial reward).
  10. The winner plans. He plans activities and prepares his arguments (because he also wishes happiness only to those who are prepared).

Conclusions - summary

Every normal person would like to be the winner of his life. Victory in the sense of finding satisfaction in life (joy, happiness, well-being, prosperity, peace). People are interested in a contented and comfortable, joyful and happy, simply wonderful, fascinating and wonderful life. Winners are always followed as models and patterns of success. They often only see the end results, but they don't want to see the sacrifices, the calluses, the sacrifices, the toil, the sweat and the thousands of hours of training that winners had to go through first to become winners. The ability to know how to give more than to take, the ability to forgive, to stop envying, hating and getting angry, upset, and criticizing in vain also contributes to getting closer to victory (over yourself). Above all, however, the ability to help others contributes to peace and inner peace in the soul. To share with them the time (know-how, skills, experience...etc.) of the winner and not keep everything for yourself. Every crisis is an exclamation point! It means change. But also a chance, a challenge and an opportunity to eliminate or reduce liabilities and negatives, or to grow or improve assets, to recapitulate, balance or take inventory. Also for reflection and reevaluation of one's own modus vivendi (way of life). Today's unpleasant crisis is certainly also a pleasant challenge for a person to go after new victories.
