Don’t Rest on Your Laurels
Have you ever heard the saying" Don't rest on your laurels ”？“ Laurels ” means the achievements you have already got. The saying suggests that you shouldn’t be so satisfied with your achievements that you’ll no longer try to improve.
As to this saying, Mike Perham has set us a good example. Born in 1992 in Hertfordshire, England, Mike was just 14 when he became the youngest person to sail across the Atlantic Ocean. You might think the achievements are good enough,but Mike doesn’t think so.At the age of 17,he became the youngest person to sail all by himself around the world on a nine-month voyage (航海）.
Mike is now 19,and he is still trying his best to break the records and push himself further.For his next adventure, he plans to fly around the world on his own, making him the first person of all ages to both sail and fly around the world.
Mike wants his achievements to encourage young people to realize their dreams.Since his adventures, he has travelled widely, speaking at schools and youth clubs in the UK, Hong Kong and Australia on the theme of “Live the Dream”.
Amazing Facts：
Mike started sailing when he was seven.
His trans-Atlantic crossing began at Gibraltar and ended in Antiga.
His round-the-world yacht (游艇）was called TotallyMoney.com.
