In the 1950s, a female swimming athlete set a goal for herself. She decided to swim across
the English Channel before she retired. If she could make it, she would be the first person in the
world who did it.
On that day, she jumped into the sea without any hesitation and swam towards the opposite
bank.
[来源:学。科。网Z。X。X。K]
In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was very tired,
she carried on swimming.
But in the end, she gave up. And what she didn't know at the moment she gave up was that
the opposite bank was only I mile away.
Later people asked her about the reason. And she said:"The reason why I gave up is that I
could not see the destination which I was so close to."
Too many success stories have been lecturing us about courage and persistence(坚持).
But they never told us where to find courage and persistence.
You can have courage only when you know where your goal is. You can manage to
persist only when you know where your goal is, and prepare yourself well mentally(心理
上).
Courage and persistence never fall from the sky. They come from weighing between input
and output.
A life without goals is like a ship without a compass. It goes nowhere. There is no courage or
persistence in a life without goals.

Fresh off his MasterChef Junior run, Evan Robinson, who is only 12 years old, is using his
kitchen skills to raise money for Puerto Rico. The TV show contestant wanted to offer help after
hurricanes(飓风) hit the country last September.
“I’ve been seeing, all over the news, people struggling,” Evan said. “They can’t get fresh
water, electricity; they can’t get really anything. I know I’m just a kid, but I think if a lot of people
do something, a lot of things will get better.”
He raises money by baking and taking online orders for homemade empanadas(馅 饼). He
started cooking on a recent Friday night. By the next Sunday evening, he had filled orders for 420
empanadas — — roasted chicken, cheeseburger and vegetarian — — getting $18 for six e

mpanadas and $30 for a dozen.
His mom, Veronica Robinson, helped him send the empanadas around the city.
“ We’ve never done anything like this before,” she said. “But it’s a great idea, so I want to help hi
m make it work.”
For Evan’s out-of-town friends and supporters, he has set up a crowdfunding(众筹) page.
Through it, he’s hoping to raise $1, 500 in “virtual (虚 拟 的) empanadas”. This is because he
heard on the news that it could take Puerto Rico years, maybe even 10 years, to recover(复 原) f
rom
the hurricanes. And he said, “Fruit pies are up next. And my baking will continue as well.”
It’s a difficult job, especially for a kid with homework and Boy Scouts and friendships to
tend to. But he doesn’t seem worried.
“It’s what we’re supposed to do.” he said. “I’m a human. They’re humans. Why shouldn’t I
help them?”
