15Mins 名人正念語錄 Inspirations
1. 梅西 （1987.6.24）
Quote: You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.
梅西的綽號就山羊（GOAT）其實是來自Greatest of All Time。梅西11歲時罹患過侏儒症，需每天打生長激素長達三年，且治療需花費大筆金錢，家人努力不懈，最終來到西班牙巴塞隆納隊，在球隊協助支付醫療費用的同時，也讓梅西在後來世界青年足球錦標賽獲得冠軍。
Messi's nickname"GOAT" actually comes from the acronym for "Greatest of All
Time".
At the age of 11, Messiwas diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, which required him to receive daily growth hormone injections for three years. The treatment was very expensive, but his family persevered. Eventually, Messi joined FC Barcelona, where the club helped pay for his medical expenses. Later on, Messi led his team to victory in the FIFA World Youth Championship.
2. Derek Jeter （1974.6.26）
Quote: Surround yourself with good people. Peoplewho are going to be honest with you and look out for your best interests.
在Jeter引退後，洋基的球衣再也沒有個位數可以選了。11月先生由來【大聯盟世界大賽有100多年的歷史，但打到11月的機會並不多，包括2015年在內，百年來只有3次，第1次就是2001年的11月1日，當時是世界大賽第4戰，雖然是在10月最後一天進行，但洋基與響尾蛇竟打了10局的跨日大戰，在隔天11月1日的凌晨，洋基隊長基特敲出再見全壘打，從此讓他獲得11月先生的封號。】
After Jeter's retirement,the Yankees no longer have any single-digit jersey numbers available.
The origin of thenickname "Mr. November": The MLB World Series has a history of over
100 years, but there have only been three instances where the series extended
into November, including 2015. The first time was on November 1, 2001, during
Game 4 of the World Series. Although the game started on the last day of
October, the Yankees and Diamondbacks battled into extra innings, crossing over
into November 1st. In the early hours of that day, Yankees captain Derek Jeter
hit a walk-off home run, earning him the nickname "Mr. November".
3. 大威廉斯(Venus Williams) 1980.6.17
Quote: I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.
大威廉斯今年邁入44歲，至今仍在球場上奮戰，網球大滿貫賽事（溫布頓、法國網球、美國網球、澳網）
Venus Williams hasturned 44 this year and is still fighting on the court. Venus Williams has won seven Grand Slam singles titles and 14 Grand Slam doubles titles. The four Grand Slamtennis tournaments are Wimbledon, the French Open, the US Open, and the Australian Open.
