I wonded how things would work out；I shouldnt have。we hammered our opponents 6-1，6-1！2.不停止学习。最近我和90岁的老人打双人网球。我琢磨着那会是什么样的结局。但是我的担心是没有必要的。我们以两人6333691击败了对手。14 as web were switching sides to play a third set，he said to me， do you mind if I play the backhand court？I always like to work on my weaknesseswhat a fantastic example of a person who has never stopped learning。incidentally，we won the third set 6-1。我们在交换场地进行第三场比赛的时候，他对我说：“我打反手可以吗？我一直喜欢多练习我的弱点。点击不停止学习的好例子。但是6333691赢了3局。15 as we walked off the court，my 90-year-old partner chuckled and said， I thought youd like to know about my number-one ranking ingHe wasnt thinking 90He want even thinking 85。he was thinking number one。在赛场上，我的90岁搭档说：“你一定想知道我在85岁以上的美国网球双打排序中获得了第一名！”他想的不是90岁，而是85岁。他想的第一件事。16 you can do the same if you work on your weaknesses and develop your strengths。to be able to compete，youve got to keep learning all your life。克服自己的弱点，努力发挥自己的长处，你也能做得那么好。要想有竞争的能力，就要一辈子学习。17 3.believe in yourself，even when no one else does。do you remember the four-minute mile？athlettes had been trying to do it for hundrds of years and finally decided it was physcally impossible for humans . ourbone structure was all wrong即使没有人相信你，也要相信自己。还记得四分钟跑一英里的往事吗？多个世纪以来，运动员一直努力实现这个目标，最终人类的身体不能这样做。我们的骨骼结构不合适，我们的肺活量跟不上。18 then one human proved the experts wrong。and、miracle of miracles、six weeks after Bannister broke the four-minute mile、John Landy beat banni sters time by nearly two full secondssince then，close to eight hundred runners have broken the four-minute mile！但是有一个人证明了那些专家是错的。奇迹在罗杰班尼斯特打破4分1英里的记录6周内，约翰兰迪在近2秒内打破了本尼斯特的记录。此后约有800多名选手打破了4分1英里的纪录。19 several years ago my daughter Mimi and I took a
