I once read a book Rare Air: Michael on Michael 34 by the greatest basketball player in the history, Michael Jordan．While we envy his great achievement in the basketball and business aspects, few of us focus on his spirit of persistence．In the book, he talks about his experience of how he walks on the 35 of success．In order to join the NBA, he put in every effort to strengthen his muscle, to improve his skills 36 training hard．Because of his efforts, he successfully entered NBA．
However, he did not stop his training． 37 , the training was even stricter, 38 prepared him to deny the statement released by the public, ‘Michael is a weak guy!’ While the criticism against him diminished, he worked even harder to achieve his next goal-the championship of NBA．Finally, he succeeded．
People honor Michael as ‘God of basketball’ not only for his great basketball skills, but mainly for his spirit of persistence．While we admire his spirit, we can follow his spirit as well．Michael should be our example; we ought to learn from him．As long as we work hard, 39 is impossible．Bear in mind that all of you have the same quality．Nobody is born wise．Putting in effort is the only but effective way to advancement．My fellow schoolmates, before I go, I would like to encourage all of you that we should work as hard as we 40 ．When you grow up, you may be the one who is admired by the community．Let’s work hard together!
