”Adversity causes some men to break, others to break re- cords.”
William A. Ward
American college administrator
Translation for Adults
People either succumb to adversity or rise above it.
Those with the determination and dedication to rise above life’s daily challenges are consistently more successful. Lance Armstrong is a perfect example. He overcame cancer and became the world’s greatest cyclist by winning the Tour de France seven consecutive years. He is an inspirational example of someone who rose above adversity and broke records. Develop your skills and attitude, so you’re able to rise above life’s challenges and break some records for yourself.
Translation for Kids
When faced with challenges, you can either be a quitter or a hard worker, even when the challenges are difficult. Think like a Black Belt! Be inspired by the story of Lance Armstrong. He overcame the challenge of cancer to become the world’s greatest cyclist and the winner of the Tour de France seven straight times. He is an incredible example of a person who rose above adversity and broke world records. Follow his example. When faced with obstacles be determined and dedicated to rise above them and break some records too!
