After I was taken to hospital, the doctors told me I wasn’t going to be able to move anything from my neck down.

I had lost the use of almost every muscle and was very weak.

But at the rehab centre (康复中心), I saw a glimpse of hope and was inspired by other patients with injuries like mine.

The first year was slow and I didn’t see much progress. My head felt like a heavy ball and I couldn’t hold it up, and my blood pressure would drop all the time.

And while the idea of walking or even standing was out of the question, I sure did try.

Six months later, I was finally given the green light to return home.

However, that’s when the reality of the situation became clear to me.

I realized that my life was so different. I was unable to use a phone, and unable to feed or wash myself.

I couldn’t grip on to anything, a fork or spoon was too heavy to pick up.

I had to learn to be patient with myself, and to enjoy every moment going forward.

I was determined to walk again, so giving up was no longer a choice.

I fought hard on my recovery and still do to this day. I’m now moving my legs and arms on my own, doing things like working out, swimming, and yoga.

All of this is proving my doctors wrong, and is turning the page from the impossible to the possible.

My faith (信念), supportive family, friends, and team encourage me to continue to work harder.

I believe that this difficulty is an opportunity to grow, become stronger, and keep on fighting to hopefully inspire others not to give up.

I learned one lesson from my car accident: Never give up on faith, and never give up on hope.

Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides(隐匿处) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, there are many hides around lakes, too. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade(荫处) out of the wind and rain.

Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazine and newspapers. But only 5 percent of the photos you took may be good. It is not easy to take a good wildlife photo if you don’t have any good plans beforehand.
