In 1957, in an Arkansas primary school, there were two good friends: one was named Bill, the other John. Once, they lay basking（曬太陽） on the lawn.
1957年，在阿肯色州的一所小學裡，有兩個好朋友：一個叫比爾，另一個叫約翰。 有一次，他們躺在草坪上曬太陽。
After drinking a coke, John said to Bill as if he suddenly discovered the New World, “Originally, Roosevelt who led the Americans to win World War II was handicapped（殘疾人）!”
約翰喝了一口可樂，對比爾說：“原來，領導美國人民打贏第二次世界大戰的羅斯福是個殘疾人！”那神態就像是他突然發現了新世界。
“Yes, he is my idol!” Bill said. “His spirit of perseverance（堅持不懈） is worth studying for us.” “He is my idol, too!” John said, “I think the most important point of his success is his adversity（逆境）!”
“嗯，他是我的偶像！”比爾說，“他堅持不懈的精神值得我們學習。” “他也是我的偶像！”約翰說，“我覺得他之所以能成功，最重要的是他身處逆境！”
Later, John stubbornly amputated（截） his legs because he wanted to create the same adversity for himself as Roosevelt and became a great man like Roosevelt. However, he did not become the President of the United States, but only won a medal in the Games for the Disabled.
後來，約翰固執地給自己的雙腿做了截肢，因為他要為自己創造出和羅斯福一模一樣的逆境，並且最終成為羅斯福那樣的偉人。可是，他並沒有成為美國總統，只是在殘疾人運動會上贏得了一塊獎牌。
Bill learned Roosevelt's industrious（勤勉的） character and indomitable （不屈不撓的）spirit. Finally, he became master of the White House. On the inauguration（就職典禮）, the people came to know his full name — Bill Clinton.
比爾學到了羅斯福勤勉的性格和永不服輸的精神。最後，他成功入主白宮。就職典禮上，人們知道了他的全名——比爾·克林頓。
成功從來都是不可複製的。追隨偶像絕不是機械模仿，但追隨者不妨借力使力以期登峰造極。
