選自瘋狂英語故事會中一篇勵志故事。作者通過講述自己在參加橄欖球訓練營時因為訓練艱苦曾經(jīng)一度想退出卻最終堅持了下來并且取得驕人成績的故事，告訴大家不要輕言放棄。
Sometimes when I'm overcommitted or totally stressed out with life, I still have to pull out of certain activities. But I no longer have the same knee-jerk response of wanting to quit simply because I'm uncomfortable. And though I never came to know the glory of a winning touchdown, I now know how great it feels to stick with something and see it all the way through to the end.
有時，當我為生活過度疲勞或者心力交瘁時，我仍然不得不退出某些活動。但我不再僅僅因為不舒服而產(chǎn)生同樣下意識的反應——即想要立刻放棄。并且，雖然我未曾感受過贏取觸地得分球的榮耀，我卻懂得了堅持一件事并將其進行到底是多么偉大。
