All the runners stood nervously at the starting line. All of them had prepared
themselves for this important race.
The race meant more to a boy named Bill, because most of the other runners had
greater speed. Could Bill realize his dream of being an “all-school” runner? He would
have to finish in the top 5 to win that honour.
Bill’s life was filled with disappointment. Primary school had been a long
nightmare for him. Of all the reading skills, he even couldn’t pick up the most basic
one, although he had tried many times. Bill did not complain. He simply tried hard. But
in the following years, he was still unable to catch up with his classmates.
Then one day his teacher called us in for a conversation. She said, “I’m sorry to
have to tell you this, but Bill isn’t trying any more. He has given it up completely.” I
became very sad and afraid. I was afraid Bill might have forever lost heart.
I had a talk with Bill. I told him about my own experiences. I said, “Though I was
the slowest one in my class in primary school, my parents and teachers were loving and
understanding. Because of that, I made it through those years and finally went on to a
music school. Now, you know, I’m a pianist. We think achievements come easily to
others. Life usually isn’t like that. The person who succeeds is usually only a fewpercent.” Bill said, “Dad, I guess that not doing so well isn’t all that bad if someone
loves you and stands by you.

①A female swimming athlete once set a goal for herself. She decided to swim
across the English Channel before she retired. If she could succeed, she would be the
first person in the world who did it. On that day, she jumped into the sea without any
hesitation(犹豫) and swam towards the opposite bank without any protection. In the
journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Although she was tired, she
still carried on swimming. But in the end, she gave up. And she didn't know that the
opposite bank was only one mile away when she gave up.
②Later she was asked about the reason. And she said, “The reason why I gave up
is that I could not see the place which I was going to reach completely.” It was a great
pity that one mile broke her dream.③Since we were young children, too many success stories have been telling us
about persistence. But they never told us where to find it. You can only manage to
persist when you know where your goal is.
④And that’s because when you know where your goal is, you can prepare yourself
well in the mind. Persistence never fall from the sky. It comes from weighing between
input and output.

no persistence in a life without goals.

Famous Ballet Dancers
Though ballet classes are popular with young girls, few
will do ballet as adults. After all, ballet is difficult to do well.
Not only must you begin training at a very young age, but it is
very hard to get a job. Only the best of the best are chosen to be
the number one dancer. The number one dancer is the one who
dances the lead roles. Besides, there are only a few ballet
dancers that are known throughout the world.
Anna Pavlova was one of the greatest ballet dancers. However, few thought she
would do well as a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演员). Her body did not look like a ballerina.
In fact, she was turned down by one ballet school at nine years old because she looked
sick. In addition, ballet did not come to her naturally. Still, she kept trying and trained
harder. Her hard work paid off. In 1899, she joined a ballet company and became the
number one dancer after only six years. Later, she started her own company. With this
company, she became the first ballerina to take her dancing around the world.
Ballet’s most famous dancers are not just women. Rudolf Nureyev was a famous
Russian male dancer. His dancing included artistic expression as well. This was
something new for male dancers. Nureyev often danced with the great MargotFonteyn, an English ballerina. They became the most famous couple in ballet. Even
today, Margot Fonteyn is still famous among Britain's greatest ballerinas. Together,
Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn were ballet’s power couple.
These famous ballet dancers have passed on. However, they will always be
remembered by the whole ballet world.

China’s 15-year-old Chen Ye won a gold medal in the men’s final of skateboarding
at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou on Sept 25. Before the final, he felt nervous and
tired. But when all the audience gave him a lot of courage, he felt excited and played
an excellent match.
Chen started getting into this sport in 2016. “I remember one day I went to a sports
store, and by chance, I saw a skateboard. I decided to give it a try,” Chen told China
Youth Daily. Although it was really challenging to stay on the board at first, Chen found
it very interesting. “Every time I did some difficult skills, I felt the joy of making
breakthroughs (突破),” said Chen.
Gradually, Chen needed a better skatepark for training. To meet the need, his father
decided to make a skate bowl himself. “He would work on it late into the night,
sometimes until three or four in the morning,” said Chen. “Thanks to my father’s
support, I can be better at skateboarding.”
As a junior high school student, Chen needed to find a balance between his
schoolwork and skateboarding. His only “privilege (特权)” was that he could do
schoolwork in PE classes because he needed to practice in his own skate bowl for hours
after returning home. He trained in the morning, studied in the afternoon. And his
teachers gave him extra classes to avoid the loss of daytime classes.Looking at the seven years of learning skating, Chen said this way to success made
him stronger. He wants to set a good example for his generation.
