While watching the Ofympics the other night,I came across quite a sight.It was not a world record broken,but a show of determination.

The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks.For one reason or another,two of them false started, so they were disqualified（取消资格）.That left only one to compete.It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even thought the time on the clock is what’s important.

I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that he was not out for gold.His arms were flailing（乱摆）in an attempt at freestyle.Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.

I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time.Finally he made his turn to start back.You could tell he was tired out.

But in those few difficult strokes（划动），the crowd had changed.

No longer were they laughing,but beginning to cheer.Some even began to stand and shouted things like.“Come on,you can do it!”and “Go for it!”He did.

When this young man finally finished his race,the crowed went wild.You would have thought that he had won the gold,and he should have.Even thought he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man did his best.

Just a short year age,he had never even swum,let alone raced.His country had been asked to Sydney as a polite gesture.But this man gave his all:he knew that he had no chance,but he competed because of the spirit of the games.

I saw a world record being while watching the Olympics the other night.

Self-esteem（自尊）and Self-confidence

①Think back to when you did something new for the first time.Self-confidence isn’t always what we think it is.Many experts say that self-confidence and self-esteem are different.Self-confidence is about what we can do by virtue of our efforts.It grows along with the quality of the effort.

②Self-esteem is more fundamental（基本的）and is about the feeling of being worth something,just because we are who we are ,and not because we have done something.A good sportsman can have a huge success and self-esteem can be low,if his parents have never recognized and treasured him for the person he is deep inside,but only for his performances in sports.

③Build self-esteem if you were not born with it.Some people just have it,as if they were born with it.They talk in front of a crowd of people,sell themselves at job interviews or start an interesting conversation with people they’ve never met before.

④Self-confidence isn’t something you receive as a birth gift.It’s something you develop gradually as you turn over the pages of the thick book of life.If you work goal-directed to improve your belief in yourself,you’ll eventually build up your courage to do what self-assured（自信的）people find natural,instead of developing pounding hearts,breathing difficulties and trembling hands.

⑤Regardless of fear and shyness you’ll have to get out of your hiding to improve your self-confidence.Be more visible to your surroundings.Do something else than you used to.Try yourself in different situations.We all have many great abilities that just have to be exposed.

The Strength of Three

There was once a family of three sons.The boys were not kind to one another.In fact,they fought constantly,each one trying to heat the others in some sort of sport.For instance,if one boy were building a raft（筷子）,another had to build a canoe（独木舟）,         Because each of them worked alone,their work was difficult,and the result were not always worthwhile.

Finally,the father took the bundle from them.He divided the bundle into three equal piles.“Now break your bundle ,”he said. The task was easy.Each broke his bundle with hardly any effort.“When you divide your work,it is easy and you can accomplish much,”the father said.And with that,the young men understood that alone each of them was weak.
