I believe in the power of inspiration (激励). I like playing basketball. However, when I played in the boy's club, I didn't think I could do well in it. If somebody passed the ball to me, I would quickly pass the ball to another teammate. I dared (敢于)not shoot the ball myself. I was afraid that I would miss the shot and be laughed at by my teammates. I watched basketball games and felt the excitement of the players right after they made the shot."Those
feelings wouldn't be the same,"I thought.
One day, I asked for some advice from my best friend about what team I should join. "Should I try out for basketball or wrestling?"She asked,"Don't you love basketball?"I sadly replied,"Yeah, but I was never good at it."She looked at me with disbelief,"Yes, you are!"I looked at her skeptically ,"Am I?"Then she said these words,"If I love something, I will keep doing what I love to do so that I can get better."Her words inspired me.
I decided to join another club to play basketball. What my friend had said stood in my mind. My teammate passed the ball to me. I received the ball and took a shot. I made it. As soon as I made the shot, I felt the excitement of an NBA player. My successful play was unforgettable. I'll never forget that day.
I believe that everybody has something he or she loves, and inspiration will lead you there if you have trouble. People need to be inspired to find their passion. Their passion will most likely help them to achieve greater things in life, and to be the best people they can be.
