There is an inspirational saying, no matter how hard you try at first, you can't play 100 meters and then exercise. That's about it.

A story about playing baseball

At a school fund-raising dinner for children with learning disabilities, everyone present will never forget what the father of one of the students said.

After praising the efforts and contributions of the school and staff, the parent asked a question: "It stands to reason that everything created by nature is perfect without external interference. But my son Sean, he can't study like other children. He can't understand things like other children. What are the natural laws of my children? "

All the audience were speechless.

The father went on to say, "I believe that when a physically and mentally disabled child like Sean comes into this world, it is an opportunity to show the true nature of human beings, and this time, it is reflected in how others treat this child."

Then, he told the following story:

Sean is in the park. Some boys Sean knows are playing baseball. Sean asked me, "Do you think they will let me play?" I know that most children don't want to have a child like Sean in their team, but as a father, I also know that if they can get my son involved, it will give him a sense of belonging that he urgently needs and build up his confidence that he can be accepted even if he is disabled.

I approached a boy (he didn't have much hope) and asked him if Sean could play. He looked around at his teammates and said, "We lost six points, and now it's the eighth inning. I think he can join our team. We will try to get him to play the ninth inning. "

Sean walked to the rest area of his team with a full face of joy and put on the team's jersey. I quietly shed tears and my heart was full of warmth. Those boys also saw the joy of my son being admitted.

In the eighth game, Sean's team caught up, but still lost 3 points. In the first half of the ninth inning, Sean put on gloves to defend right field. Although no ball flew to his position, he was happy to be on the court. I waved to him in the stands and he smiled from ear to ear.

In the ninth inning, Sean's team scored again. At this time, two outs were loaded, and the next bat was the chance for the team to reverse, and Sean ranked first.

At this critical moment, will they let Sean play and give up the chance to win? Surprisingly, they really gave Sean the bat. Everyone knows that Sean can't hit the ball at all because he doesn't even know how to hold the bat, let alone touch it.

However, when Sean stepped into the batting position, the pitcher knew that his opponent had given up the chance to win for this important moment in Sean's life, so he stepped forward and threw a soft ball to Sean so that he could at least touch it.

The first ball was thrown and Sean's clumsy swing failed. The pitcher took a few more steps and threw a soft ball to Sean. When the ball flew by, Sean swung a slow ground ball straight to the pitcher. The game is about to end.

The pitcher picks up the soft ground ball, which can easily pass the ball to the first baseman, let Sean out and end the game. However, the pitcher passed the ball high above the first baseman's head so that all his teammates couldn't catch it.

Everyone standing in the stands, no matter which team, began to shout, "Sean, run to first base!" " Run to first base! Run to first base! "

Sean had never run so far in his life, but he managed to get to first base. He stepped on the base bag with his eyes wide open and surprised. Everyone shouted, "Sean, run to second base, run to second base!" " "

Just breathing, Sean hobbled to second base and tried to run to the base bag.

At this time, just as Sean ran to second base, the right fielder got the ball, and the shortest boy in the team had the first chance to become a hero in the team.

He could have passed the ball to second base, but the shortest boy on the team knew the pitcher's mind, so he deliberately passed the ball over the third baseman's head. When the runner in front ran to home plate, Sean stumbled to third base.

Everyone shouted, "Sean, run to third base, run to third base!" Run, run! "

Sean got to third base because the opposing shortstop came to help him get to third base and shouted, "Run to third base, Sean, run to third base."

When Sean arrived at third base, both players and all the spectators stood up and shouted, "Sean, home run!" " Home run! "

When Sean ran back to home plate and stepped on the bag, everyone cheered for Sean loudly, just like a hero who played a grand slam and won the game for the whole team.

"On that day," my father said softly, tears streaming down his face, "two teams of boys brought true love and the brilliance of human nature to this world."

Sean didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, but he will never forget that he was a hero, which made us happy, and the day when he went home and watched his mother cry with her little hero!

One thing to note about this story:

We often turn thousands of jokes around without thinking, but we hesitate when we meet the story of life choices.

Vulgar, barbaric and often a little obscene things spread on the Internet every day, but the discussion of noble things in schools and offices is suppressed.

Every day we have countless opportunities to help embody the laws of nature. Many trivial interactions between people are opportunities for choice.

Whether we pass on the brilliance of love and humanity, or give up these opportunities to make the world a little more indifferent.

A wise man once said: A society should be judged by how it treats the most unfortunate people among them.
