The young giant felt sorry for his parents, who needed to take extra care of him for his food, clothing and traveling. Time and again he expressed his “great aspiration” to his good friend, teammate and roommate Liu Wei, “I will do my best. Once I enter the Shanghai No.1 Team, I won't have to worry about my shoes.” That boy was Yao Ming. Today's Yao is a great basketball star. Back then, his dream was not championship, NBA, or stardom. He trained like mad, struggled hard, all for a pair of shoes that would fit his feet, merely to relieve his parents of their worry about his shoes. He earnestly and realistically sets the goal for every stage of his life and spares no effort to reach it, and to surpass it.
It is not a difficult thing for anyone to set a goal. The tough part is to know how to pursue and reach it. Many people leave their lofty aspiration in blueprints forever. If we take a look at those abandoned causes and goals along many people's life journey, we should remind ourselves of Yao Ming: travelers first need a fitting pair of shoes, and then take one film step at a time towards their goals. |
