No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts. I learned this lesson from an experience many years ago. I took the head coaching job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program. The school took part in the league matches every year. However, it never ended well. We were more of the audience, watching and cheering instead of sweating out in the fields.

Fortunately, the school held the tradition that the school’s old team was to play against the new team at the end of spring practice. For lack of resources, the old team bad no coach, and they didn’t even practice to prepare for the game.

I was assigned (指派) as the coach of the new team, which was why I was excited. I believed that we were going to win, but to my disappointment, we were defeated. I couldn’t believe I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I tried to figure out the reason and what I should do next.

It didn’t take long before I came to realize that my team was depending on me. Without proper guidance or previous experience, my team was at a loss what to do. I had to change my attitude so that I could bring out the best in them about their ability and potential.

I would let my action do the talking. First, I started doing anything I could to help them build a little pride. I could see their spirits lifted, with their head held high in great confidence. Most importantly, I began to treat them like winners. Only when they regarded themselves as winners could they willingly invest time and energy.

This summer, the other teams enjoyed their vacations.

A young football player has gone popular because of a beautiful reason.

Grayson Bonomo was playing in a football game at Northeast Guilford High School when the unthinkable happened. Any player knows there is a risk of injury because sport is a physical activity, but it is still scary when an actual injury occurs.

The football player was trying his best to secure the first down of the game and was determined to make it for his team. However, the ball was flying too high, and he could not get to the ball on time. As Grayson went for the ball, another player crashed with him. The young man hit the other player so strongly that he was knocked unconscious for a brief moment of time after the crash.

It was a frightful moment, and everyone in the crowd was watching everything unfold before their eyes in anxious breath.

Grayson finally opened his eyes and was tended by the medics (医护人员), who immediately arrived on the scene.

Knowing how one exciting game could turn into a medical emergency in just a snap was terrifying. While everyone was panicking, one of Grayson’s teammates stepped away to do something else. Dillon Goedeck moved from the space where the medics were working on Grayson and away from the other team members. Seeing his teammate hurt so badly, he wanted to have his own space, and that was for a good reason with a mixed feeling of anxiety and worry. He recognized the importance of allowing the medics to do their job without distractions, and he also needed time to process his own emotions. It’s natural for teammates and spectators to feel a wide range of emotions during such incidents, and Dillon’s action demonstrated his maturity and thoughtfulness. At the same time, the other players of both sides followed Dillon and stepped away to make space for the medics. The football community stood beside Grayson, offering support and well-wishes for his recovery.

In middle school, my family moved to New York, where my parents established a small grocery store beneath our new home. As a reserved girl adjusting to the complex city life, I faced the challenge of fitting in. One day, my school announced a talent show for the local food bank, sparking excitement and anticipation. Despite my self-doubt, a popular classmate, Lily, approached me with an unexpected proposal.

Lily, known for her charming personality, suggested we collaborate(合作) on a singing performance for the talent show. Surprised and thrilled, I couldn’t believe someone with her status acknowledged my modest singing talent. With Lily’s beautiful voice, it felt like a bit of good fortune. Encouraged by Lily’s enthusiasm, we decided to embark on this musical journey together.

As we started preparing for the talent show, we faced numerous challenges, from selecting the right song to coordinating(协调) our harmonies. The process became a bonding experience and I began to embrace the idea of sharing my talent with the public. Lily’s infectious energy and encouragement helped me overcome my shyness.

Days turned into weeks, and our rehearsal sessions became a regular after-school routine. Lily and I poured our hearts into perfecting our act, drawing inspiration from various musical genres(音乐流派). However, fate took an unexpected turn the day before the performance. Lily fell ill with a sudden fever, leaving me in a state of panic.

Worried about Lily’s sudden illness, I felt a mix of fear and determination. With the talent show only a day away, we had to come up with a plan quickly. In the midst of my concern, Lily, despite her weakened state, reassured me and insisted that the show must go on. Drawing strength from Lily’s determination, I took on the responsibility of carrying our performance. The night before the talent show, I practiced tirelessly, determined to do justice to our hard work.
