In fact, he had won many first prizes in the running contests. Not long ago, he won the championship in the running competition at Olympic Games. As a consequence, he not only became a celebrity but also got a great deal of money. However, accidents happen. Ben ran into a serious car accident and was heavily injured on his way home. When he woke up, he found that everything had changed. The doctor told him that he couldn’t run anymore. So incredible was the news that Ben couldn’t face the music until he accepted his family and friends’ encouragement and company. Ben recovered from the bad wound gradually after several months’ treatment. Nevertheless, Ben’s passion for running didn’t disappear. He kept on working as possible as he could. As he wanted to become the best runner in the world, he exercised to strive for his best and he was convinced that “Practice makes perfect.” Many people were moved by Ben’s perseverance. Thus, the host of the running contest awarded the best attitude prize for Ben. Ben’s attitude toward his favorite thing set a good example for the public. Those who gave up themselves for they faced the similar situations like Ben would have self-confidence again by virtue of his personalities. Hence, we can learn from Ben’s bravery and become a man of courage.
