Speech to 'What Makes a Champion?' in Beijing
CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY

This is China's moment. A moment to celebrate its culture, civilisation and achievement. A moment to thank the Chinese people for their warmth, their ingenuity and their enterprise. A moment to recognise that whatever the challenges - political, social and economic - there is, in this country, the will, the determination and the humanity to make the future work for China; and in partnership with other nations and cultures, to make it work for people everywhere.

What makes a Champion? We must start with an uncomfortable truth: natural talent helps and especially in sport!

I remember still, almost 45 years ago now, running in my first competitive race at my school Sports Day. I remember the running track, grass freshly mowed. A sunny day. The race was over 440 yards. Four times round our*** all track. I settled in behind the lead runner, calculating to overtake him on the last bend before the straight run to the finish. The race went to plan until just as I reached the bend, I tried to sprint forward. Suddenly, my legs just didn't have the energy. The mental will was there. The physical capacity was not. I remember that feeling of shock and disappointment now as clear as I did then, the disconnection between desire and ability. I still have my silver cup for coming second. But silver was not what I wanted. I wanted gold.

We will applaud the champions of the Olympics knowing that most of us would never have been able to do what they have done.

But I chose to try to be a champion in a different field and it is also true that most people have innate talent at something. Champions are not just athletes. They are scientists, entrepreneurs, artists, philanthropists. They are people who the world sees in photos and on TV, people of fame and wealth. But they are just as often people no one outside a*** all circle has heard of: champions of compassion, of fortitude under suffering, of works of humanity towards others. Such champions often enjoy less fame or fortune when alive; but are more often commemorated after death. They are champions of the human spirit.

So it is right that not everyone can be a champion. But many, perhaps even most of us, have the capacity to do something exceptionally well. Most of us have a gift.

The issue is: how to develop that gift? What are the qualities that take the talent and turn it into an achievement, that translate the ordinary into the extraordinary?

Because for sure, there is a part, perhaps even the major part of being a champion that is not to do with natural physique or natural intellect but is to do with character, attitude, the dimension of the mind that can be discovered and developed. You can improve.

You can, in doing so, cross the line between the average and the good and in time even the line between the good and the outstanding.

It can be dangerous to describe rules of improvement, to try to codify the qualities. Champions are about exceptions, not rules.

Nonetheless, I believe it is possible to identify characteristics you find in champions. I have chosen seven.

First, success comes to those who strive. Striving is a better concept than merely being competitive. In the Bible, Jacob is renamed after wrestling with God whilst asleep. He was thereafter called Israel meaning striving with God. To me, striving is more than wanting to be the best. It means even if you are the best, striving to be better. It is the product of a spirit that is restless for still greater things. It can mean a state of perpetual dissatisfaction, certainly with yourself.
