Daily Thought: Winners are willing to do what losers won’t (by David)

Zack challenged people to kiss the birthday girl by volunteering himself to do it first. This trick works because we admittedly don’t have to courage to do that. Everyone has different consideration on kissing while it is arguably a socially acceptable act. You can't dispute the rule, can't object the game and perhaps you just cannot escape. So inevitably every guy on the spot except the bold one became a loser. But think back, does the embarrassment really matters a lot?

In the real world that is what it takes to become a winner. A thick face and a sheer disregard of people's opinion and the social norm. 脸够厚，心够黑。 This is theory of success written by 李吾宗。In this era of globalization you can't always resort to the excuse that “this is not our norm”. If that is the rule, accept it and play by it. Only the winners are willing to do what losers won’t. The same goes for love life as well. If you are not bold enough to show your love, how can you impress your gal amongst other guys? If Romeo never dare to elope with Juliet, there won’t be any legendary love story evolved. Sometimes you just need to do something radical to accomplish that, notwithstanding the associated risks and ribbing from others.

在人生的路上，君子永远只能是Losers.
