If we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away David Seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another David, namely David Beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. If we further changed the rules by not allowing Arsenal's defenders to defend, so that Beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. In accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. The sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
The concept of success is not constant but relative because the nature of difficulty is also relative. Something you do effortlessly might pose a great difficulty for a handicapped person. In acquiring the ability to do the same as you can, he or she achieve success. That's why we greatly admire Stephen Hawking, because, though confined to a wheel chair, he has contributed greatly to the field of science.
I myself, a rather shy person by nature who easily suffer from stage fright, had to pluck up great courage to take part in a speech contest like this. I could have stayed away and had an easy time of it by not entering the university level contest.But I chose to accept the challenge and to face the difficulties. Now here I am. If I come out first, it will be a great success for me. If I come out last-I hope this will not be the case-but if I come out last, I will not call my attempt a failure, but will also celebrate it as a true success, because part of my goal is my own character training-to do more assertive, to be brave in face of difficulties. For me, it is a meaningful step forward, small as it is, in the long journey toward the final success in my life, because I have truly gained by participating.
One day in 1819, 3,000 miles off the coast of Chile, in one of the mostremote regions of the Pacific Ocean, 20 American sailors watched their shipflood with seawater.
They'd been struck by a sperm whale, which had ripped a catastrophic holein the ship's hull. As their ship began to sink beneath the swells, the menhuddled together in three small whaleboats.
These men were 10,000 miles from home, more than 1,000 miles from thenearest scrap of land. In their small boats, they carried only rudimentarynavigational equipment and limited supplies of food and water.
These were the men of the whaleship Essex, whose story would later inspireparts of “Moby Dick.”
Even in today's world, their situation would be really dire, but thinkabout how much worse it would have been then.
No one on land had any idea that anything had gone wrong. No search partywas coming to look for these men. So most of us have never experienced asituation as frightening as the one in which these sailors found themselves, butwe all know what it's like to be afraid.
We know how fear feels, but I'm not sure we spend enough time thinkingabout what our fears mean.
As we grow up, we're often encouraged to think of fear as a weakness, justanother childish thing to discard like baby teeth or roller skates.
And I think it's no accident that we think this way. Neuroscientists haveactually shown that human beings are hard'wired to be optimists.
So maybe that's why we think of fear, sometimes, as a danger in and ofitself. “Don't worry,” we like to say to one another. “Don't panic.” In English,fear is something we conquer. It's something we fight.
It's something we overcome. But what if we looked at fear in a fresh way?What if we thought of fear as an amazing act of the imagination, something thatcan be as profound and insightful as storytelling itself?
It's easiest to see this link between fear and the imagination in youngchildren, whose fears are often extraordinarily vivid.
When I was a child, I lived in California, which is, you know, mostly avery nice place to live, but for me as a child, California could also be alittle scary.
I remember how frightening it was to see the chandelier that hung above ourdining table swing back and forth during every minor earthquake, and I sometimescouldn't sleep at night, terrified that the Big One might strike while we weresleeping.
And what we say about kids who have fears like that is that they have avivid imagination. But at a certain point, most of us learn to leave these kindsof visions behind and grow up.
We learn that there are no monsters hiding under the bed, and not everyearthquake brings buildings down. But maybe it's no coincidence that some of ourmost creative minds fail to leave these kinds of fears behind as adults.
