[分享]Where do you find motivation?

This is the first year that I joined a swim team. 

A few weeks ago, our swim team had its first meeting and on that day, I found out that my coach had put me in the 500yard freestyle.  I knew that there was no way I would be able to finish this event, let alone do good in it because I have never swam that far before.  I told the coach that it was not a good idea to put me - one of the least experienced people in the team for this event.  But he told me that I still had to do it.

A couple of events before mine, I saw a kid who was mentally and physically challenged dived into the pool.  He swam 100yard freestyle.  This is usually not too hard to swim but when I saw him struggled and swam the whole way without stopping, I knew I had to at least try.  If I loved this sport and tried hard enough, I would be able to finish the 500yard race.

When I got up to swim, I was nervous.  But throughout the race, I kept thinking about that kid and all the dedication and determination he had.  The more I thought about it, the harder I swam.  In the end, I was placed THIRD in the event. 

I knew if I tried hard enough, I would be able to finish anything that I put my mind to.

Well, every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.  Don’t fail to try.
