CHAMPIONS ARE MADE 2 - LES CHAMPIONS SONT FORMES 2
Champions are adventurous so they do not wait for still
waters; they jump into troubled waters if that is what it will take to get the
job done. Most people wait for the right conditions to begin their endeavors
and in most cases those delays make them miss opportunities. We must realize
that opportunities have a life span and they must be utilized within that time
frame. Champions are not afraid to test the waters, what most people don’t know
is that the water level might not be as deep as it looks from where you are. Until
you take the chance you will not discover the actual conditions and the power
you have to navigate such waters. Champions see possibilities in things others
take for granted, that is why you have to first be a champion mentally. Champions
thrive in conditions where solutions seem impossible; while others seek for who
to give them directions, champions blaze the trail to give others direction. To
join this league, you must not wait for the ship to come to you; you will have
to swim to the point where the ship is to avoid costly delays. Not every successful
person is a champion; champions are head and shoulders above the rest.
Les champions sont aventureux donc qu'ils n'attendent pas des eaux calmes, ils sautent dans les eaux troublés, si c'est ce qu'il faut pour faire le travail. La plupart des gens attendent de bonnes conditions pour commencer leurs démarches et dans la plupart des cas, ces retards ratent des opportunités. Nous devons nous rendre compte que les possibilités ont une durée de vie et ils doivent être utilisés dans ce laps de temps. Les champions n'ont pas peur de tester les eaux, ce que la plupart des gens ne savent pas, c'est que le niveau de l'eau pourrait ne pas être aussi profond qu'il paraît de là où vous êtes. Jusqu'à ce que vous prenez la chance, vous ne découvrirez pas les conditions réelles et la puissance que vous avez pour naviguer ces eaux. Les champions voir les possibilités dans les situations que les autres prennent pour acquis, c'est pourquoi vous devez d'abord être un champion mentalement. Les champions prospèrent dans des conditions où les solutions semblent impossibles, tandis que d'autres cherchent quelqu'un pour les guider, les champions créent la voie pour les autres. Pour vous joindre à cette ligue, vous ne devez pas attendre que le bateau vienne à vous, vous devez nager jusqu'au navire pour éviter des retards coûteux. Ce n'est pas tout qui réussit qui sont des champions, les champions sont la tête et les épaules au-dessus du reste.

CHAMPIONS ARE MADE 1 - LES CHAMPIONS SONT FORMES 1
Champions are not fearless; they are those who are able to
do what needs to be done in spite of the fear of the “stiff” opposition or
failure that lies ahead. Champions can take several beatings, endure bloody
fights and stage comebacks; they do not quit. The plain truth is that life
doesn't give you what you need or deserve, you have to get what you need or
deserve from life and it takes a lot of guts and injuries to do this. The fame
and glory of champions is laced with blood and sweat which a lot of us are not
ready to shed. There is this erroneous belief that talent or formal education
alone can make you a champion; the truth is, character and discipline are what differentiate
the champion from the rest of the crowd. Talent and education can take you to
where character cannot keep you. Champions must cover their tracks in such a
way that their weaknesses will not pull them from their thrones.

CITIZENS' ROUND-TABLE 6 - LA ROUNDE TABLE DES CITOYENS 6
We can’t talk about the citizen without mentioning the fact
that we must cease the opportunity from misbehavior on the part of leaders in
order for us to show our own leadership skills. Every citizen is a leader in
one area or another and we must do our best to make sure that all that is
within our jurisdiction runs smoothly before we criticize whatever is wrong in
leadership. In our various circles of influence, no matter how small, we must
enable people understand why they should contribute to the smooth running of
the system. We can’t complain when we stand by and watch those who we can
influence do something wrong while we focus on what someone in leadership is
not doing. There are some citizens who even encourage wrong behavior from those
in their circle of influence as a way of getting back at government without
realizing the fact that the citizens usually bear the brunt of wrong decisions
and actions of those in leadership. As citizens we should do all within our
power to make sure that things benefit everybody, including holding our leaders
accountable.
Nous ne pouvons pas parler du citoyen, sans mentionner le fait que nous devons cesser l'occasion de la mauvaise conduite de la part des dirigeants afin de montrer nos propres compétences en leadership. Chaque citoyen est un leader dans un domaine ou un autre, et nous devons faire de notre mieux pour assurer que tout ce qui relève de notre compétence se déroule bien avant de critiquer l'incompétence du leadership. Dans nos différents cercles d'influence, peu importe leur taille, nous devons permettre aux gens de comprendre pourquoi ils devraient contribuer au bon fonctionnement du système. Nous ne pouvons pas se plaindre quand nous en que citoyens sont en train de regarder les bras croisés ceux qui nous pouvons influencer font du malin alors que nous nous concentrons sur les maux de la direction. Il ya des citoyens qui encouragent même le comportement erroné de ceux de leur cercle d'influence comme un moyen de se reprocher le gouvernement sans se rendre compte du fait que les citoyens portent souvent le poids des décisions et actions de ceux qui dirigent erronées. En tant que citoyens, nous devons faire tout en notre pouvoir pour poursuivre les choses qui bénéficient tout le monde, y compris tenir nos dirigeants responsables.
