Chapter 11 Section 4 The most uncomfortable physical education class?

Great achievements are not accomplished by force, but by will. ? ?

Dennis?When Rogers was in high school, he was only 1.5 meters tall and weighed 36 kilograms. He was an out-and-out "short".His spine is slightly curved, and his entire upper body looks like a question mark.He knows nothing about his future life, the only thing he knows is that he is a dwarf who is ridiculed by others. ?
Because of Rogers' short stature, players on the school's sports team used to call him "dwarf".They often made fun of him, knowing that he couldn't beat them, so they often came to bully him, deliberately tripped him, and snatched the books in his hand.Rogers often lived in the shadow of being intimidated, and everyone at the school was a potential intimidator.Physical education is the most uncomfortable class for him. There are competitions, and neither party wants him. He is often kicked around like a football. ?
One day, the teacher called Rogers aside: "Rodgers, we decided to transfer you to another class. From now on, you go to the special education class!"?
"Special education class? But it's a class for disabled students!"?
"I'm sorry," he said, patting Rogers on the shoulder, "but we're thinking of you."?
After school, Rogers came home, slammed the door behind him, and looked at himself in the mirror: hunched over, arms as thin as toothpicks.He asked himself silently: "Why? Why did I grow up like this?" Then Rogers saw his father working in the yard.My father was also small, but he had served in the navy. Although he was short, his body was muscular, and no one dared to bully him.Rogers secretly made up his mind. ?
At Rogers' request, his father helped him make a barbell for weightlifting.Every night, he went downstairs to the storage room to practice weights.Time after time, Rogers was able to lift the barbell.He added weight from time to time, often adding 5 pounds at a time, and he had to use all his strength to lift it up.For Rodgers, it wasn't just about lifting the barbell, it was about challenging himself to change his image of being vulnerable.But no matter how much Rodgers could lift, he always felt he still couldn't because he was too small.what to do?He devoured protein-rich milk, eggs and other nutritional supplements, and sought help in various bodybuilding magazines. Six months later, on his 6th birthday, Rodgers was still only 17?1 meters tall and weighed 52 kilograms. ?
However, once when he was helping his father with work, he had to carry a roll of canvas from the car to the workshop on the hillside.The roll of canvas was about 6 feet long and weighed more than 80 kilograms.He shouldered it and took a step forward.He feels heavy, but, he can't drop it!He staggered up the hill, sweating profusely from exhaustion.In the end he carried the roll of canvas up the hillside alone!He was amazed, and at the same time he was full of confidence in his exercise, and he wanted to keep exercising. ?
Then he did an experiment: Put the weight he could lift so far on the barbell, and then add an extra 50 pounds. "Don't think about your size," he told himself, "just lift it, you can do it." He lifted it, and he lifted it!He knew why he could lift such a heavy thing.In the past, he always thought that he was small, and the more he was like this, the more he restricted the exploration of his potential, let alone the realization of it. ?
Since then, Rogers has been going to the gym to train every day.His muscles grew, his strength increased, and his slightly hunched back straightened.Many people who exercise here love to wrestle their arms, and he also joined in.At first, when Rogers sat down in front of them, they all looked at him mockingly.Rogers ignored them, he beat them all one by one. ?
One day, Rogers saw an advertisement in a bodybuilding magazine that an arm wrestling competition would be held on the east coast, and elites from all walks of life were welcome to participate.He told his father that he also wanted to participate in the competition. ?
"Son, if you want to go, go, you can do it." Dad said. ?
Rodgers walked into the East Coast arm wrestling scene.He met contempt and ridicule eyes, however, he defeated all opponents.At the end of the day, Rodgers was the champion of the match, a real powerhouse. ?
Mind walk?

"Our body is like a garden, and our will is the gardener of the garden...Let it fall into disrepair, let it be

No matter how hard it is cultivated, the power lies in our will. said Shakespeare. And Rogers in the story chose

In the latter, he did not succumb to congenital physical defects, nor was he overwhelmed by difficulties in life. Instead, he chose his goal and persisted. As a result, the buds of self-confidence were bred in his garden and the fruit of success was born.

Everyone can choose how to will the gardener run their own garden! ?
