Michael. Phelps was born on1June 30th, 985. On August 17, 2008, the men's 4x 100 meter medley relay final of diving competition in Beijing Olympic Games ended. The American team won the gold medal under the leadership of Phelps, and Phelps also successfully broke the previous record of the sage Shpits winning seven gold medals in a single Olympic Games, winning eight gold medals alone and becoming the champion of water sprint.
Awesome = hard work+paranoia
Phelps has given a good explanation. Without the best efforts of the day after tomorrow, it is impossible to become a genius for many years. "If you take a day off, your real power will go backwards for two days." This is Phelps' motto, and it is also the wise words given to him by his coach. Phelps has always believed that "if it takes two days, it may never come back."
All along, he has resolutely maintained the habit of getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning, never stopping, which is unimaginable. He was so paranoid that Phelps was nicknamed "Qi Ming" in the American diving team. What is even more amazing is Phelps' perseverance. In the past seven years, out of more than 2,500 dates, he only stayed out of the water for five days. It is in this almost paranoid state that Phelps has made impressive achievements.
"The truth of the matter proves that no matter what your fantasy is and how big it is, it can be successfully realized. Everything is possible. " (used of time, persistence, belief, fantasy)
"I'm not for the money, I'm just doing what I like. When I was a child, I dreamed of being the first in the Olympic Games. "
"If the coach and I are for money, we haven't snorkelled for a long time. My big goal is to change the sport of diving and let American children participate. " (used in "Money and Career", people's life value, people's life realm, etc. )
Snorkeling is a method to treat ADHD.
When Phelps was young, Debbie often received complaints from university teachers that his son could hardly stop lecturing or attending classes for a moment, always disturbing the students around him. However, instead of blaming little Phelps like many parents, Debbie retorted the teacher without anxiety, "How are you going to help him?" Although Debbie tried her best to take care of her son by herself, when 9-year-old Phelps was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), she was still very sad.
It is touching that Debbie did not give in and tried her best to treat her son. She found that diving can calm little Phelps down, so she taught him to dive. But my son was so annoying that his face was wet with water. Debbie taught him backstroke first, and then taught him other strokes after he got used to being soaked with water. She also helped her son heal in various forms, such as setting a strict timetable. With her careful care and help, little Phelps' thinking is more and more thorough and connected. Now, Phelps has been able to control his illness, and he can even show extraordinary concentration in the game. Used for "family education", "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude", "discovering potential" and "breaking through some comments". )
"I want to prove to everyone that they are all wrong. I believe that if I can fight with my son, he will do what he wants. " Debbie said this in an interview with an American magazine. Motherly love finally invented an anecdote.

At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Phelps won eight gold medals, which shocked the world. And this surprised Phelps, which is not good news for ordinary people. 1 March 3 1 day, the headline of the British News of the World website reported that "Eight Golden Kings" took a big photo of *. The report clearly explained the exact time and place of King Bajin's drug-taking photos, and even revealed information photos to confirm that Philippine fish had worn the watch on the same wrist to attend the event before. Previously, the Philippine fish team also contacted the newspaper and asked to stop the distribution of photos.
It is reported that the photo was taken on June 6th, 20081/kloc-0. At that time, Feiyu attended a friend's party at the University of California, and the photo provider was the person who attended the party. Witnesses to the behavior of the Philippine fish reported to the News of the World that "he was a little out of control from the moment he arrived at the banquet. If he continues to maintain this situation at the party, I will find it hard to believe that he can win more gold medals. "
Bar+loitering *+smoking * Phelps depravity, pornography and gambling.
After the Beijing Olympic Games, Phelps' personal life can even be described as "rotten": first, he lingered in the * club for fun and molested the young woman Diao Dou, then he kissed his female companion crazily in the nightclub, and then he gambled drunk in Las Vegas, so his personal life can be said to be extremely decadent. The handsome swimmer doesn't seem to have any discomfort with the dissolute nightlife, but he plays very selflessly.
Universal character material: Li Bai
Li Bai said "it's hard to walk", but he kept walking. High school composition material selection (characters). Laugh while walking, and say goodbye to old friends while walking. A pot of turbid wine, "the song spreads mountains and rivers for 80 thousand miles"; A canoe, "just look at the Yangtze River flowing in the sky". However, Li Bai is also a scholar envied by heaven! Jealous of him-young talent; Jealous of his poem-Water Lotus. Li Bai said "it's hard to walk", but he kept walking. Hanlin was demoted, and he "laughed, so I am not Artemisia"! Exile Yelang, who "sings a crazy song arguing with Confucius, which is a constant habit in my life"! I admire Li Bai's road even more. It's unfair to say so, but I still think that the hardships of Li Bai's life are less than those of Tao Qian and Qu Zi. But he insisted on going on, because he firmly believed that "one day I will ride the wind and waves"! A piece of Baoyu is polished back and forth on the rigid political stage, but it is not dirty or polished at all!
Second, Li Bai is free and easy, not relying on the solemnity of Gaotang, not admiring the wealth of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, standing at the top of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, standing in the position of a poet, letting the breeze cleanse the soul and dancing with Yue Hui. "Since God has given talents, let them find jobs!" , spin a thousand silver, all come back! " He sang a lot of fighting spirit; "We all hold high the idea of going far away and want to go to the blue sky to embrace the bright moon", and he sang great verve, thus adding a bit of heavy and neat atmosphere to the history of mountains and rivers in the Tang Dynasty! Is it true that Li Bai, who has no official career, does not reflect his own value? I can't.
Third, when Li Bai is not reused, he can still sleepwalk happily in Tianmu and have a drink. He has an optimistic smile about tomorrow. When Su Shi was repeatedly demoted, he still had the style of "boating on the Red Cliff" and the heroic spirit of "a romantic figure through the ages". He is full of hope for tomorrow. When Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, I think he must have smiled, because he firmly believed in his own "everyone is drunk, I wake up alone;" The world is turbid, and only I am clear. "It will definitely bring thinking and vigilance to future generations.
Fourth, a crescent moon hangs low in the condensation, and pieces of duckweed break into swaying jadeite. The poet sighed and felt layers of ink. Li Bai's life is remembered in history books because he didn't imitate vulgarity, because he abandoned the "bell and drum" and became his true self. His life is successful. If he pursued money, fame and fortune like a scholar-bureaucrat at that time and violated his own soul, there would be no more elegant robes of the mountains and rivers of the motherland, and no more masterpieces handed down in history would be sung by the world. The rain of history did not fall into Taibai's soul, but he wrote his true self into history.
Only when people are full of energy can they have an open mind. Xuanzong gave a piece of gold to Li Bai, who was slandered, and said, "How can I bow and scrape to those dignitaries whose sincere faces will never be seen?" Although he has the virtue of a star and Hui Qi's talent in the sun and the moon, he is still in high spirits. "Until, holding up my cup, I asked the bright moon, which brought me my shadow and made the three of us." When the wine entered the sorrow, the moon was firm and gentle, and the mouth was half full of Tang Dynasty. If he didn't mean to get angry, how could he have such an open mind?
6. Li Baice, a good horse, galloped on the dim ancient road. However, *' s intrigue, secular sanctimonious stumbled his running steps, and the ruthless reality cooled his enthusiasm. Yes, when Lux took off his boots for me and the imperial concubine wiped ink for him, it should be the most smooth period in his career. However, inadvertently, he saw the flattering gaffes of Lux and the secret smile of the imperial concubine, and he felt that he should let his running feet stagnate forever and leave the dark Golden Horse Gate. He clearly knows that he would rather spend all his money and lead a drunken life than be a "royal scholar" in the Tang Dynasty! So he took a sword and a glass of wine to visit White Deer, which he temporarily put in a famous mountain, and walked out of the dark career door forever. In the past, he got on a horse and gave it to Xu to gallop. Today, he rode a white deer to the distant place he dreamed of. After drinking a large glass, I went back to my favorite place and found a quiet and luxurious place to have a drink. Going south to the five mountains, sleepwalking in the sky, it is difficult to pay for ambition. Running makes him fall and bump again and again, and running makes him gain spiritual transcendence-his thoughts are always mature in wandering and frustration.
Seven, "Don't do other things" Violet lay, once bohemian criticism of Confucius, once let Yang Yuhuan riding the world of mortals laughing for him to grind ink, let Gao Lishi take off his boots. What a "heretical" act it is and what an absurd trip it is. But Taibai saw that the world was cold and left angrily. It's not as good as Yi An's "What's sad this time?" There is no sadness in Liu Sanbian's "Holding hands and looking at each other with tears, speechless and choking". Smile and sigh "Poetry is a gift from the north window, and a glass of water is not planted in ten thousand words".
Eight, "Long winds and waves, and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea", high-spirited Li Bai, full of infinite vision for the future. He wants to show his talents, serve the country and spread his life through his official career. However, many years of life and travel with swords have made Li Bai reflect. He had his ups and downs, and he finally saw the hardships and darkness of his career. Gao Lishi put on his boots for him, but actually handcuffed his feet. The imperial reward was actually begging from his master. So, "what are bells and drums, delicacies and treasures?" I hope I won't wake up after I get drunk. "He cleaned his depression with wine and the dirt in the world with mountain springs. Every time he wakes up after being drunk, he starts to look around the world and trudge across the country. He always has a belief, a fiery poetic impulse, and a free and easy "access"! Therefore, although he was not reused by the imperial court, he was not abandoned by the world or forgotten by the people. So he constantly regained hope and hid himself in the city. Perhaps his philosophy of life is "universal life, both inside and outside"! Li Bai! Worthy of the title of "Poet Fairy", he is a immortal who lives in the city.
