光榮背後 Behind the Glory
When we see the successful people, it is natural for us to feel jealous. We see their power and fame, wishing we can be one of them. But the fact is that who knows what these successful people have paied for. I remember the top swimmer Michael Phillips described his daily life. He said that he had to practise so hard, even on the Christmas Day, when other people were enjoying the family reunion, he was working hard on the swimming pool and making himself stronger. We always see the celebrities’ glory but always ignore their hard-working. They deserve the honor and people’s respect. If we want to be successful, we must work hard.

當我們看到別人的成功時，總是會很自然地感到嫉妒。我們看到了他們的權力和名聲，也希望自己可以成為其中一員。但事實是，又有誰知道這些成功人士付出了什麼。我記得頂尖游泳運動員麥可菲利普斯描述他的日常生活時說，他非常努力練習，即使是在聖誕節，別人在歡度家庭聚會時，他還在游泳隊中訓練，努力讓自己變得更強。我們總是只看到名人的榮耀卻看不到他們的辛勤。他們值得擁有這些榮譽和人們的尊重。如果我們想要成功，就必須要努力。
