[00:00.00]Adversity to Victory 从逆境走向胜利
[00:06.40]The following is a true story about a young friend
[00:11.31]who lives in St. Louis...
[00:13.18]Andy was born with a developmental disorder 1.
[00:17.66]The two sides of his brain were not joined normally with each other.
[00:22.25]The right side of his body could not communicate with the left.
[00:27.17]At age three, it was difficult for him to walk, speak, and play.
[00:32.76]He could only echo back a few words,
[00:36.25]and walk slowly while someone held each of his hands.
[00:40.39]Then came the struggles.
[00:42.82]He attended an all-day center
[00:45.54]where he was enrolled 2 in every imaginable therapy.
[00:48.61]He struggled, sometimes in tears, to get stronger.
[00:53.10]Andy hated it when his parents would leave him there in the mornings.
[00:57.80]However, they believed - against all odds 3 -
[01:01.29]that he would grow up to live a normal healthy life.
[01:05.02]They believed it for themselves,
[01:07.20]and for Andy.
[01:08.41]It paid off.
[01:09.71]Today Andy is a successful 13-year old high school student.
[01:14.87]His progress has been nothing short of phenomenal.
[01:18.58]He receives special help with a few things,
[01:21.41]but joins with his friends in all the activities he loves.
[01:25.78]Andy overcame enormous odds to move from adversity to victory.
[01:31.25]Ask yourself:
[01:33.01]"What are the seeds of strength hidden in my struggles today?
[01:37.38]If I get back up when I fall,
[01:40.02]what will that make possible tomorrow?"
[01:42.85]"Overnight success"
[01:44.84]is the result of years of tenacity 4 and continued learning.
[01:49.32]Victory is possible for those
[01:51.59]who decide it’s their most compelling option.
[01:54.67]They’ll find the path to their dream.
[01:57.18]However, they will accept adversities
[02:00.47]as universities that will foster strength, growth,
[02:04.29]and skills to attract the victory they seek.
