The Life Pursuit
英语智慧背囊
If you want to succeed,
you must understand the following two points.
One is that success itself will never befall on you
unless you pay enough.
The other is that the won success not only shines
but also dazzles.
Become What You Want to Be! 成就梦想
Wilma was born into a very poor family in Tennessee.
She was born earlier than she should have been and was very weak.
When she was four years old she had pneumonia
and scarlet fever that left her with a useless left leg.
She had to wear an iron leg brace.
Yet she was fortunate because her mother encouraged her.
Wilma’s mother told her that she could do anything
she wanted to do in spite of the brace and leg.
She told Wilma that all she needed to do was to have confidence,
persistence, courage,
and an indomitable spirit.
So at nine years of age,
Wilma removed the leg brace and took the step
that the doctors told her she would never take normally.
In four years she could run,
which was a medical wonder.
Then Wilma began to have the unbelievable idea
that she would become the world’s greatest woman runner.
At 13, she entered a race.
She entered every race in high school,
and in every race she came in last.
Everyone thought she should stop competing!
However, one day she came in second to last.
Later she won a race.
From then on,
Wilma won every race that she entered.
Wilma went to Tennessee State University,
where she met a coach named Ed Temple.
The coach believed that she had a great talent.
He trained her so well that she could go to the Olympic Games.
There she competed against the greatest woman runner of the day,
a German girl named Jutta Heine.
Nobody had ever beaten Jutta.
But in the 100-meter and 200-meter dash, Wilma won.
Finally came the 400-meter relay.
The first two runners on Wilma’s team
made perfect handoffs with the stick.
But when the third runner handed the stick to Wilma,
she dropped it,
and Wilma saw Jutta taking off down the track.
It was impossible for anyone to catch this fast girl,
but Wilma did just that!
