贏家不會讓他們的生命局限在自己「理當」成為何種人的觀念中。事實上,他們順應天性行事。所以,他們不會費盡心思地裝模作樣、故作姿態、玩弄他人。他們十分清楚愛與裝愛、傻與裝傻、真才實學與故作高深之間的差別,贏家沒有必要藏在面具後掩飾自己。
贏家不害怕獨立思考和運用自身的知識。他們既懂得辨別事實與想法,又不會裝作通曉一切。他們傾聽他人的意見,衡量他人的言論,最後得出自己的判斷。儘管贏家懂得尊重和敬佩他人,卻不會徹底為他人所限制、摧垮、束縛或嚇倒。
贏家不會裝可憐,騙取同情;也不會怨天尤人,為自己開脫。事實上,他們肩負起了生活中自己應盡的責任,別人虛張聲勢的權威不會左右他們。贏家主宰著自己的命運,對此他們深信不疑。
