「努力勝於天賦」 . 上個禮拜六我學到一個很深刻的教訓 . 如果你有在看我的IG stories, 你應該有看到我的籃球隊贏了台灣國際學校運動協會8年級組的冠軍賽。 . 說實話，相較我前兩年的隊伍，今年的學生並沒有那麼厲害—這學期開始的時候我也老實跟他們講了。但是，我也跟他們說，如果我們非常努力的練習，我們仍然可以贏得冠軍。我們練習了很多小時，每個禮拜固定會有兩個晚上的練習以及每天早上6:45的晨練。 . 比賽當天，我們不僅拿下了冠軍頭銜，更在過程中連勝了五場比賽。在這之前我們這學期其實只有贏過一場比賽，所以能有這個結果真的很感動！更何況我們冠軍賽的對手在過去曾經贏我們三十幾分。 . 這個故事有兩個教訓，第一，永遠不要放棄！即使我們這學期輸了那麼多比賽，我們沒有放棄，而是繼續努力練習。第二， 如果你每天努力的練習，最後勝利會是你的。大家加油！ . Hard work always beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard. . This past weekend taught me a very good lesson about perseverance and hard work. . If you were following my stories, you’d have seen that my basketball team won first place out of sixteen teams in the 8th grade international school basketball tournament. . To be honest, my players are not very talented compared to my previous teams. I even told them this at the beginning of the season. However, I told them that if we worked harder than everyone else we would win. We put in hours and hours of practice over the season. Every morning, we would practice at 6:45am, in addition to practicing at night twice a week. . In the end, we ended up going undefeated in the tournament and won five games in a row. Very amazing considering the fact that we only won one game in the regular season. In fact, the team we played for the championship game beat us by 30-40 points during the regular season games, but in the championship game, we were able to beat them. . Their are two main lessons from this story. First, never never never give up. Even though we lost so many games, we never gave up and kept practicing hard. Second, hard work always pays off. No matter what, if you put in the work and work harder than anyone else, you will eventually get the victory.
