In the evening self-study, after Lin Nan finished writing his homework, he sat in his seat in a daze.

He glanced at Si Dong on the side and saw that she was reading Youth Digest.

It's just that faintly, Lin Nan seemed to hear a trace of crying.

Lin Nan stretched his head forward, then lay on the table, and then tilted to the right, and immediately saw Si Dong, who was lowering his head, with tears in his eyes.

Lin Nan thought to herself: She is still depressed about losing the game, why is she crying?

Lin Nan asked softly, "Hey, what are you crying for?"

Si Dong slowly turned her head over, and a pair of simple big eyes seemed to have an extra layer of water curtain on her face, and suddenly this water curtain fluctuated, turning into water droplets, leaving her soft face.

Si Dong just wanted to say something, but found that he was in tears, and he turned his head away in an instant and wiped away the tears with the back of his hand.

After a while, she turned around and said in a choked voice, "This article made me cry." ”

At the same time, he picked up the book from the table and handed it to Lin Nan.

Lin Nan took it and thought: Youth Digest can also make people cry, aren't they all inspirational stories?

While thinking, Lin Nan looked at this short story titled "Actually, we are all lucky".

Tom is the CEO of a photography company in London, England, and at just 24 years old, he has already achieved financial freedom.

When everyone around him was envious of him, he made an incomprehensible move, that is, he sold his company, car, and house, and then went to Africa with the money to become a teacher.

When he returned home after four years in Africa and 11 countries, he was asked what made you decide to sell everything.

Tom replied:

I was "lucky" to be born in an ordinary family in London, England, not particularly rich but not poor, but I was able to receive a very good education since I was a child.

When I was 9 or 10 years old, one day there were a few classmates in the class, who were not from England or Europe, but from far away Africa.

At that time, I didn't understand why their conditions were so poor, the stationery used in class was not wanted by others, and the clothes they wore were tattered.

So I had a dream when I grew up to go to Africa and see what their lives were.

Gradually, I grew up and learned that Africa is a poor and backward place.

Many children are born without education, they don't even have clothes to wear, they don't have shoes, and eating and drinking are problems.

One day, I suddenly understood a truth.

That is: Actually, I was lucky.

I was fortunate enough to be born in a time of peace, in a developed country without war, and into a "relatively wealthy" family.

I was able to receive a good education from a young age, wear beautiful new clothes, eat delicious food, and enjoy the love of my parents.

However, I didn't choose all this, I was just lucky to be born with these resources that others don't have.

After understanding this, I started to study hard, started to think of ways to start a business, and when I achieved financial freedom, I went to Africa to realize my biggest dream in life.

There, with what I learned, I became a teacher.

Whenever I see children who don't have shoes on, they can dance happily when they hear the sound.

I think the smile on their face at that moment was the coolest.

......

After reading this story, Lin Nan's eyes instantly moistened.

It suddenly occurred to him that he was depressed because of a failure in a ball game.

But those children in Africa can't even play basketball!

Lin Nan glanced at Sidong, who had wiped away her tears, and he instantly understood why she was crying.

Because she, like herself, is "lucky" for everyone.

That's right.

Actually, we are all lucky.

Lucky to be born in China, an increasingly powerful country, lucky to be born in this relatively peaceful era, lucky to receive 9 years of compulsory education, lucky to be able to eat three meals a day, can sleep peacefully......

Even the lucky ones can not be infected by the virus......

So when we grow up, when we are successful in learning, should we also do our best to help those who are not so lucky?

Lin Nan looked at the starry sky outside the window and couldn't help but have a hint of enlightenment.

Since he came into contact with basketball, Lin Nan felt that he might play basketball for the rest of his life, from this national high school league, to the CBA, and then to the NBA.

But just now, his dream changed.

Lin Nan thought of a sentence to describe his current thoughts, that is:

The world is so big, I want to see it.

The next day, morning, 6:00.

Before dawn, Zhu Bo and Screw and other senior seniors walked out of the dormitory building.

The temperature was getting cooler, Li Qing rubbed his hands together, and said, "It's too early, are you sure Lin Nan said that he was getting up at 6 o'clock to train?"

Screw smiled and replied, "Why, if you don't want to go, then you can go back to the dormitory and sleep!"

Li Qing shook his head, expressed his determination, and said again: "It's just that someone in the basketball team seems to have gone to the night yesterday." ”

At this time, Zhu Bo, who had not spoken, made a voice: "Those few night packers will not have to play at that time, and they will not be used for the team." ”

Hearing this, several people stopped talking.

When they arrived at the playground, Zhu Bo and others found that Lin Nan was already warming up with the first and second years of high school on the plastic runway.

Young people still wake up early.

Lin Nan also found out that there were a few missing people in the senior high school, but he didn't say anything.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and Lin Nan seems to have matured a lot after last night.

He now just wants to help the basketball team win the championship, which is also his last dream for basketball.

After everyone was warmed up, Lin Nan explained the first task of the day: a 10,000-meter run.

Hearing this, the team members instantly changed their faces.

Wang Jinsong and Zhu Bo are pork liver color.

Nine-five and screws are silent colors.

Li Qing and several members of the school team were smiling.

Several of them are players on both the school team and the basketball team, and they don't care, isn't it just 10,000 meters, they run every day.

Unexpectedly, when a few of them ran to 24 laps, Lin Nan had already finished running, while Jiuwu and Screw were still 3 laps away, and Wang Jinsong and Zhu Bo were 5 laps away.

When the morning sun gradually showed a little forehead from the sky, and until half of the face was revealed, everyone ran away.

Seeing Wang Jinsong gasping for breath, Lin Nan hurriedly said: "Don't breathe with your mouth, use your nose, there is fog in the morning, and it is easy to catch a cold if you inhale it in your throat." ”

"Don't stop still, walk a little. ”

After speaking, Lin Nan also ran to Wang Jinsong's side and helped him to calm down while walking.

Seeing Lin Nan so careful, Li Qing, who had been resting, also learned to run forward to help Zhu Bo on the side and take a walk.

Zhu Bo pushed them away and said "seriously": "What are you helping me for!

Wang Jinsong, who was on the other side, heard this, and his breath, which had just calmed down, became very unstable again, and he wanted to say something in his mouth but couldn't say it because of laughter and panting.

But in my heart, I have already said: Everyone is at the tail of the crane, you pretend to be you...

Everyone laughed when they saw the two of them like this.

And everyone also realized in their hearts how strong Lin Nan's physical strength was.

Next, Lin Nan asked everyone to conduct high-intensity combination training.

Lin Nan demonstrated it first.

Start with five quick push-ups, then jump up to the steps, perform five one-legged squats, then stand below and jump up with one leg on top of the steps, constantly changing feet from side to side, and finally a 10-meter sprint.

The action should be standard, not non-standardized, the practice order of each group can be reversed, but the group can not stop, after three complete groups of training in a row, you can rest for 2 minutes, and then continue.

In this way, more than a dozen people stood in a row at the foot of the steps and carried out this high-intensity training together.

Except for Lin Nan, everyone finished the first group at about the same speed.

By the time of the second group, everyone's speed was different, but one didn't stop.

By the time we got to the third group, some people were moving very slowly, but everyone persevered until the last man gritted his teeth and ran the final 10-meter sprint.

Lin Nan was very happy, everyone who came was not lazy, it seemed that everyone really wanted to become stronger.

As the morning sun fully rose, the playground also became bright, and the basketball players all finished training this morning.

Take off your sweaty clothes, wipe the sweat off your body, and change into dry clothes you brought.

The group dragged their tired bodies to the exclusive window of the basketball team in the cafeteria, and one person ate a large bowl of beef noodles and drank several glasses of milk.

I saw that the classmates who got up early next to me were stunned.

After eating, they each returned to the classroom.

After the class, the teacher will announce the results of the first monthly examination of the school year.

What every student didn't expect was that Lin Nan's mathematics, physics and chemistry were the first in the class, and even a full score in mathematics.

Everyone knows that Lin Nan is a member of the school's basketball team, and they know that he has shined in the basketball world during this time, and they also know that he has not taken much self-study classes in the morning and evening.

But what's the matter with mathematics, physics and chemistry being so good?

Is this genius? But sports and mathematics are two things that have nothing to do with each other!

The students all felt incomprehensible, but when they knew that Lin Nan had scored more than 60 points in the English test, everyone felt a little more normal.

Well, people have to have flaws, so that everyone will think that he is a person.

In fact, Lin Nan was not surprised at all by his score.

The textbook study in the third year of junior high school and the extracurricular learning due to his interest gave him a very solid foundation in these three subjects.

Moreover, Lin Nan has a flexible brain, listens carefully to every class, and uses the time of English class to complete the homework carefully, and all the knowledge points are integrated in his mind.

So such results are normal.

Timberwolf made it very clear to him that there is no reason not to succeed if you seriously insist on doing something you like.

If you still have some talent in this area, this success will come faster and higher.

Lin Nan felt more and more that what his father said was right, and he was also very glad that he was lucky to have such a father.
