光荣背后 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.

当我们看到别人的成功时，总是会很自然地感到嫉妒。我们看到了他们的权力和名声，也希望自己可以成为其中一员。但事实是，又有谁知道这些成功人士付出了什么。我记得顶尖游泳运动员迈克尔菲利普斯描述他的日常生活时说，他非常努力练习，即使是在圣诞节，别人在欢度家庭聚会时，他还在游泳队中训练，努力让自己变得更强。我们总是只看到名人的荣耀却看不到他们的辛勤。他们值得拥有这些荣誉和人们的尊重。如果我们想要成功，就必须要努力。
