秘密

日本有个运动家叫山本田一，是位国际马拉松选手。个子不高。

1984年的东京国际马拉松比赛中，山本先生获得冠军。大家去采访他，“你为什么获得冠军”？

山本回答：我用智慧战胜对手！我有一个秘密！

记者问：你的秘密是什么？

山本回答：我不告诉你！

大家开始讥笑他：他只是偶然幸运地获得冠军而已。

2年后在意大利米兰国际马拉松比赛中，山本先生又获得冠军。大家又去采访他，"你为什么获得冠军？

山本回答：我用智慧战胜对手！我有一个秘密！

记者问：你的秘密是什么？

山本回答：我不告诉你！

后来，山本先生退休了，他写了一本书，披露了他获得成功的秘密。

书中写到：每次比赛前，他都会和他的教练开车驶过40多公里的赛道，每8个公里左右做一个碧城，如第1个八公里处有家“银行”；第2个八公里处有家“超市”

当发令抢响的时候，其他选手按照跑马拉松比赛的速度奔向40公里外的终点，而山本先生却按照中长跑的速度奔向第一个目标――“银行”；之后，同样的速度奔向第二个目标――“超市”。

这就是我的秘密！

A person can only success when he/she can SEE and CLEAR the mission and objective that he/she want to achieve.
Set Small Target and eventually it leads to BIG SUCCESS =)

In 1984 of the Tokyo International Marathon, one Japanese athlete Yamada unexpectedly won the world championship. When reporters asked what make him such a startling success, he said that:" Use wisdom to defeat opponent." Many people don't believe him. Marathon is the sport requires both physical strength and endurance. He said that wisdom led to his success seems reluctantly.

Two years later, in the Italian International Marathon, Yamada won the championship again. A reporter asked him:" You have won the championship again. Can you talk about your experience?" Yamada answered the reporter the same as last time:" I use wisdom to defeat opponent." Everyone was puzzled by his so-called wisdom.

Ten years later, the mystery is finally discovered. Yamada write his autobiography and he says:" Before each game, I will travel the whole route and check it carefully. I will mark some important signs alone the road, such as the first mark is a bank, the second mark is a tree, and the third mark is a red house, thus mark to the end. When the race begins, I run as fast as I can towards the first goal, the bank. When I arrive at the bank, I will strive for the second goal, the tree. I break the whole marathon route into many small goals and finish them one by one easily. At first I don't know this method and set my goal at the end of the 40 kilometers marathon. Usually I get exhausted in the first 10 kilometers because I am frighten by the remote distance.
