听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。

Text 10

W:I have a question for all of us.Is winning success all?Winning is really,really fun.But I am here to share my idea:Winning does not always equal success.All around the world,we have created the win-at-all-costs culture.We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process,and particularly when the end result is a win.Real success is developing champions in life for our world,win or lose.We may be able to plan our way to a win,but we can’t plan our way to success.Back to 1990,when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team,I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win.So I became tough-talking and mean.Our team asked me for a team meeting for over two hours.They gave me examples of how my arrogance was hurtful.Then I chose to change.It is so much easier to give orders than to figure out how to motivate someone to be better.We all know this motivation takes a really long time to take root.The key to promote motivation is to develop trust through patience and honesty.We are all coaches in some ways.We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world.This is what real success looks like,and that is what we call a win-win.
