Someone with a non-winning script is a middle of the roader. He plods along from day to day, not making any big winds but not making any big losses either. He doesn’t take risk. This kind of script pattern is often called banal.

3. Non Winning Script
• Someone with a non-
winning script is a middle
of the roader.
• He plods along from day
to day, not making any
big winds but not making
any big losses either.
• He doesn’t take risk. This
kind of script pattern is
often called banal.

4. Non Winning Script
• At work, a non-winner will
not become the boss. He will
not be fired either.
• Instead, he will likely serve
out his working years, be
awarded a marble clock, and
go into quiet retirement.
• He may sit in his rocking
chair reflecting : “ I could
have been the boss if only I
did been the right place at
the right time. Ah, well, I
didn’t do so bad, I suppose.”

5. Winners, Losers and non winners
• Berne suggested that you
could tell a winner from a
loser by asking him what he
would do if he lost.
• He said a winner knows but
doesn’t talk about it.
• A loser doesn’t know and all
he talk about is winning :
‘When I make my first
million…’.
• He stakes everything on one
option and that is how he
loses.

6. Winners, Losers and non winners
• A winner always has
additional options, and that is
how he wins. If one thing
doesn’t work out, he does
something else until he is
successful.
• A non-winner sometimes wins
and sometime loses, but
never very big in either
direction, because he doesn’t
take risks.
• He plays it safe, and that is
how he remains a non-winner.
