Winners successfully make the transition from total helplessness to independence, and then to interdependence. Losers do not.2. Few people are total winners or losers.3. There are many experiences that contribute to making people losers.4. A loser represses his capacity to express spontaneously and appropriately his full range of possible behavior.5. A loser has difficulty giving and receiving affection.參考譯文失 敗 者 盡管成功立業(yè)的能力與生俱來，人們出生之際也是無助的，完完全全地依賴環(huán)境而生存。失敗者則不然。 很少有人是完全的成功者或失敗者。人的成功和失敗與童年的經(jīng)歷有關(guān)。這些經(jīng)歷中斷、延緩或阻礙了走向自立和自我實(shí)現(xiàn)的正常進(jìn)程。這些操縱性手腕在成年后很難棄絕，常常變成頑固的習(xí)性，成功者竭力棄絕這種習(xí)性，而失敗者深陷其中，難以自拔。他選擇的道路是條死胡同，他不明白人生中還有其他許多選擇。他維持著現(xiàn)狀。 失敗者難以表達(dá)或接受愛意。反之，他試圖操縱他人，希望他人不辜負(fù)他的期望，而自己也竭力去迎合他人的期望。 If︵ I were︵ a boy again, I would practise perseverance more often, and never give︵ up︵ a thing because it︵ was hard or︵ inconvenient.
