Many of us have heard of the saying: everything is possible if you can just believe. But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance. South African swimmer Natalie du Toit embodies those virtues.
Du Toit, became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics(残奥会)in Beijing. Although she finished 16th in the tough 10 km marathon in the able-bodied Games. she has collected three golds in the Paralympics so far.
One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time, Natalie du Toit was already a promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001, at just 17.
“There are a lot of dark moments,” du Toit said. “There are some days when I cry. But I try to remember that better days are ahead. You just go on.”
Within a few months, she was back in the swimming pool.
She still competes and still succeeds. The only difference is that she has switched to longer events--from 200 m and 400 m individual medley to 800 m and 1,500 m freestyle--to make up for her loss of speed with only one leg. But she made no adjustment to her mental outlook(精神面貌).
“Going out in the water, it feels as if there's nothing wrong with me. It doesn’t matter if you look different. you're still the same as everybody else because you have the same dream.”
She is the owner of many world records, and she also won gold when competing against able-bodied swimmers in the 1, 500 m freestyle at the All Africa Games in 2007.
But there is no magic recipe for success. It all comes down to hard work and determination. “She is stubborn, which is good and bad, ” said her coach Karoly Von Toros. “Good for the swimming, but bad for the coach.”
There is a poem that hangs on her wall that reads:
The tragedy of life does not lie in not reaching your goals;
The tragedy of life lies in not having goals to reach for.

Much of my work as a coach includes helping people make an important decision, such as “If Iˈm at a crossroads in my career, which path should I follow？” “If Iˈm considering offers, which one should I accept？”
Difficult decisions like these remind me of a comment made by Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun Microsystems for years during a lecture while I was in a business school at Stanford. He was asked how he made decisions and responded, “Itˈs important to make good decisions. But I spend much less time and energy worrying about making the right decision and much more time and energy ensuring that any decision I make turns out right.”
In fact, before we make any decisions, particularly those difficult ones, weˈre anxious to focus on identifying the “best” option because of the risk of being “wrong”. But a side effect of that mindset(观念模式) is that we pay too much attention to the moment of choice and lose sight of everything that follows. Itˈs what happens next that finally determines whether a given decision was “right”．
Another aspect of this mindset is that our focus on making the “right” decision can easily lead to paralysis(麻痹), because the options weˈre choosing among are so difficult to rank in the first place. How can we definitively determine in advance what career path will be “the best”， or what job offer we should accept? Obviously, we canˈt.
Focusing on the effort after our decision not only helps us succeed, but also reminds us that we play a role in every outcome. Our control should be in our day-to-day activities rather than in our one-time decision.
1.What is the authorˈs job?
A. To teach people to choose good careers.
B. To tell people how to adapt to a new city.
C. To help people make a vital choice.
D. To advise people to ask for a high salary.
2.Which of the following about Scott McNealy is TRUE?
A. He tries his best to make his decision right in the end.
B. He never cares about whether his decision is good or not.
C. Making decisions is not very important for him.
D. He only focuses on the process rather than the outcome.
3.Most people feel anxious when making an important decision because they ________.
A. donˈt know what to do next
B. canˈt find a good coach to give them advice
C. worry about the undesired result it may bring about
D. have no idea of what to expect
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. Making the right decision is very important.
B. Stop worrying about making the right decision.
C. Believe in yourself and choose what you want.
D. Help others make the right decision.
