Fighting spirit


Beijing Olympic was over, I have learnt something from it.
1. Planning- In order to make Olympic games successful, China had planned carefully in every aspects long before Olympic like building world-class stadiums,etc.
2. Environmental control- China had implemented several measures to reduce pollution.This created a pollution-free environment to ensure no health hazard for athletes and tourists.
3. Learn English diligently- Service personnel needed to attend English courses, so that they could communicate with athletes and tourists well. 4. Tough training for all athletes- China got the most gold medal in their Olympic history, their athletes went through very tough training behind the scene.
5. Fighting spirit- I could see many countries' athletes did their very best during competitions.
Of course, We should congratulate those who got gold, silver, bronze medal. We should also salute all athletes for their fighting spirit because they dare to challenge, dare to dream big even they never get any medal.
My friend, we need to plan carefully what we want to do in our life. Let's learn from them-fighting spirit. It is so nice to enjoy the process. Let's keep on moving.

Let's hug Liu xiang


I have been watching Beijing Olympic game since 08-08-2008. I really enjoy it as I can see so many outstanding performances daily. I also read newspaper to keep track all Olympic events every day. That's why I have less time to visit your, sorry for that.
Life is unpredictable even for athletes. Do you know how much efforts they have put in behind scene? They went through a lot of tough training from young. With the strong will power, they had cleared so many obstacles. It is really a nice thing to compete with others in Beijing Olympic to achieve their goal, the best one will get the gold, silver or bronze medal.
The journey is not easy for athletes, some of them were injured during the training session or in the race, Liu xiang is one of the examples.
I felt sad for Liu xiang's withdrawal from the heats for the 100m hurdles[ Beijing Olympic ] due to unbearable pain on his legs. After the incident, I saw two types of comments from fans, some encouraged him to try again next time, some laughed at him by voicing out their anger.
Liu xiang made comments during his interview on Television. He said: " I knew I couldn't make it when I was warming up and I couldn't even jog, I feel very sorry. But there's really nothing I could do. If I had finished the race, I would have risked my tendon. I could not describe my feeling at that moment. I never quit easily. I am not that type of person. " He also wrote something on his blog site. Liu wrote: " Please believe me that the hurt and sadness in my heart cannot be less than yours. At the same time, please believe I am the same Liu xiang as before."
Liu xiang will run again after the recovery, let's hug him .We should hug him even he fell. I salute him for his fighting spirit and he had made the history in year2004- the first Asian who got the gold medal in track and field in Olympic game.

He was promoted to manager

Steven is a financial consultant, he was promoted to manager from associate manager last month, he told us his story.
In the beginning of year2007, he was thinking of running marathon, he wrote down this goal. Steven also told all his friends, colleagues, relatives that he wanted to participate the marathon race. Ironically, he just said only but no action.
One month later, Steven was involved in the car accident and his left arm was injured, he needed help from colleagues to write reports for him because he was left -handed. At that time, he thought he could use this as an excuse, but after some deep thought, he felt embarrassed not to run marathon.
Luckily, he met a marathon group, the group leader encouraged him to start running marathon, he finally made it .
He feel motivated whenever he see motivated words on other participants' shirts. Since then, he run regularly and build up his confidence level. Because of the positive mindset, it helped him hit the sales target and was promoted to manager.
He now encouraging people to run marathon.It can test your endurance.
Note:
The Marathon is a long, grueling race which traditionally closes the Olympic events. It is taken from the amazing achievement of the Greek runner Pheidippides, who ran over twenty-six miles in for hours, taking news to Athens of the Persians’ defeat at the Battle of Marathon in 490 B.C.

Do your best

On 08-08-2008 at 2008 hrs, about 4 billions people worldwide watching the opening ceremony on 29Th Olympic game.
I had watched the event on live on the TV for few hour. I was enjoying it very much as I could see so many joyful faces in the stadium. This Olympic game is an very important international event, it promotes friendship, cultural exchange amongst all countries. Through this, we can understand each other better.
I wish all athletes do their best to win the competitions. It is meaningless to win the title if the athlete consume banned drugs. I really salute those athletes who had qualified for the games as they had put in lots of efforts.
Do you want to become Olympic champion? Yes, but within yourself. As long as you do your best in whatever fields you do, then you can become Olympic champion within yourself.
Are you an Olympic champion within yourself this year?
