Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us£®I have been into sports since I was six years old£® I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.

When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski£®I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before£®I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I¡¯d make it with no problem£®That was a big mistake.

Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met£®He didn¡¯t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort£®One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (ͶÀº) we missed in a game£®Some think this is crazy, but it isn¡¯t£®After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, ¡°coach, that was the best practice I ever had.¡± I was completely sincere£®This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school£®He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom£®If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life¡¯s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters£®

In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential£®Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court£®He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted£® I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life£®My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students£®I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual£®

Taj Mahal, Agra, India

As many as 28 different varieties of precious stones were used to decorate the outside of the Taj Mahal. Construction took around 20 years. The building, which was made from white marble from the quarries(²Éʯ³¡) of Rajasthan, appears pink in the morning, white in the day and golden in the moonlight.

Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Akashi Strait, Japan

It took 10 years to construct the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. It connects the city of Kobe, on Japan¡¯s mainland, with Iwaya on Awaji Island. Before it opened, the only way to get between the two cities was by ferry. However, the waterway was at the mercy of severe storms and when two ferries overturned in 1955, killing 168 people, public anger convinced the government of the need for a bridge. It's the longest suspension bridge in the world, with a length of 1,991 meters.

Panama Canal, Panama

More than 4. 5 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the construction of this canal¡¯s locks and dams. The Panama Canal is a 47-mile long waterway that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The earth and rubble dug to make way for it was enough to bury Manhattan to a depth of four meters. A series of locks allows ships to pass through the water. Each lock door weighs 750 tons and each lock fills with 52 million gallons of water to accommodate the 15,000 ships that use the canal every year.

Grand Canyon Skywalk, Arizona

The Skywalk¡¯s foundation is strong enough to support 71 million pounds , Located 1,219 meters above the Colorado River, the Grand Canyon's Sky Walk consists of one million pounds of steel and 83,000 pounds of glass. It was the creation of Las Vegas businessman David Jin, who approached the Hualapai Tribe with the idea of a glass walkway over the Grand Canyon in 1996. The Sky walk was assembled on site.

Most kids hate to see their summer end, perhaps none more than the Murset children. This summer, the Murset family decided to travel across the country to help families in need, which proved to be a wonderful experience.

People. comreported that Gregg Murset and his wife, Kami, decided to take their six children, ranging from 7 to 16 years old, from their home in Phoenix, Arizona, across the country to spend 20 days on the road to help 25 families in need. ¡°I told the kids and my wife over breakfast that I wanted to do this,¡± Gregg Murset, 40, told People. com. ¡°They all looked at me like I was crazy,¡± he said, ¡°but when we started to read the stories of people we were going to help, their attitudes completely changed.¡±

Through Gregg¡¯s company, he was able to be matched with groups such as Autism Speaks, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and others that connected the Mursets to families with children who have cancer and other serious illnesses.

¡°When you have a kid who is struggling, the last thing you¡¯re thinking of is cleaning the house,¡± says Gregg.

The family traveled to many cities in their journey, including Albuquerque, Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, and Buffalo. The trip covered 6,500 miles. ¡°It¡¯s been amazing to watch my own children open their eyes and see that the world is bigger than they think,¡± he said. ¡°Even the little kids are learning from this experience.¡±

And the families they¡¯ve helped feel blessed to have met them. ¡°They showed up at 8 a.m. and we had a list of things we needed help with,¡± said Jim Spencer, a 61-year-old father in Warren, Michigan, whose 12-year-old daughter, Lexi, was diagnosed(Õï¶Ï) with cancer a couple of years ago.

The Mursets also used their travels as an opportunity to visit areas they had never been to, including the Statue of Liberty. But for Gregg, the main purpose of the trip was to teach his children to show concern for the happiness of other people rather than for themselves.

¡°There is nothing wrong with your kid getting off the sofa, doing some work and sweating,¡± said Gregg. ¡°It¡¯s good for the kid and it¡¯s good for the soul.¡±

When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( ÐüÑÂ) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.

Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.

Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.

For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken . Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog bark.

A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.

The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(ʧȥ֪¾õµÄ)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. ¡°The dog was very thin and hungry,¡± Steve Tregear said , ¡°It was a very dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,¡± he added.

It was ,as Mr. Holden admitted, ¡°a minor miracle(Ææ¼£)¡±.
