Unit 8 Optimism樂(lè)觀

I guess I have always been a very motivated person and when my accident happened 11 years ago, I saw it only as a challenge I had to overcome . I was paralyzed during a football game. I had only been playing professionally for two and a half years when I was injured.
我想我一直是個(gè)很積極的人，當(dāng)十一歲那年發(fā)生意外時(shí)我視這場(chǎng)意外為必須要克服的挑戰(zhàn)我在一場(chǎng)足球比賽中癱瘓我加入專(zhuān)業(yè)球隊(duì)才兩年半就受傷。

Doctors told me that I would never walk again, but I didn’t listen to them. I listened to my heart. It has taken me over a decade of very challenging and exhausting work but it was well worth it!
許多醫(yī)生告訴我，我將永遠(yuǎn)不良于行，不過(guò)我并不相信他們，我順從自己的心，我花了十年多，接受挑戰(zhàn)并竭盡努力，不過(guò)這一切都是值得的！

Not only can I walk but I can water ski, snow ski , hike, kayak and enjoy a life with my wife and daughter. I am also a motivational speaker for people who are overcoming physical challenges.
現(xiàn)在的我不僅可以走，還可以滑水、滑雪、爬山、泛舟，與我的妻子和女兒一同享受生活。我現(xiàn)在也是個(gè)激勵(lì)人心的演說(shuō)家，為那些正在克服身體挑戰(zhàn)的人演說(shuō)。

It is important to have role models in our life. I know that if I didn’t have any, I wouldn’t be where I am today. To be honest, learning to use my body again demanded intense focus, dedication, love, and above all, optimism. The way I see it optimism is the difference between success and failure.
對(duì)我們這些人來(lái)說(shuō)，在生活中樹(shù)立典范是很重要的，我知道要是我沒(méi)有，就不會(huì)有現(xiàn)在的我了。老實(shí)說(shuō)，學(xué)習(xí)重新使用我的身體需要極度的專(zhuān)注、努力、愛(ài)，而最重要的就是保持樂(lè)觀，我樂(lè)觀以對(duì)，造就了我的成功，而不是失敗。
