Ken SumidaWould I like to be famous?
Yes, I would. But don't misunderstand my ideas. I'm indifferent to being a movie star or a sports star and in addition to that, I don't want to obtain fame or wealth which ordinary people envy. Plus, I don't need a prestigious stage to be seen. So, you're seemingly wondering what being famous means for me. Three people I'll introduce to you can be understandable examples for a role model I'd like to be in the future.
Nobuyuki Tsujii is a famous pianist in Japan, in particular, recently. He won the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition taking place in America every 4 years. Plus, this competition is one of the most prestigious competitions and once it has been held, partakers are required to concentrate on their play for 3 weeks. How demanding it is! He's absolutely different to other pianists. He is congenitally blind. How does he play the piano? From information on the Internet, he firstly listen to a melody and then learns a music score by heart. I have no idea how tough his life is. My life has depended excessively on my sight. However, he has never surrendered to his disability. Rather, his melody is soft and gentle, actually many listeners have been enchanted. Unlike gorgeous singers or musicians, he isn't popular among teenagers. Nor does media repeatedly focus on him. But at least for me, his life warmly impresses me so much.
Other people are Dick and Rick Hoyt, Dick's son. Unfortunately, when Rick was an unborn baby, his brain was severely damaged. Due to this unexpected, tragic accident, Rick has never been able to stand, walk or even talk. But he can consciously communicate with his father by his special computer. Rick embraced an ambition to participate in triathlon competitions. To achieve Rick's dream, Dick was determined to train himself and he practiced swimming. Until that time, his body had been perfectly spoiled and had never swum. After that, he could join many competitions. While they're doing triathlon, Dick swims pulling a boat on which Rick is, Dick rides a bike with a seat on which Rick sits down and Dick runs pushing a wheel chair. In our daily life, we see, listen and walk unconsciously. But I think, once we lose the abilities, we can realize doing the actions are special like a privilege. Surely, they've lived challenging lives, but are their unfortunate? Even some of their abilities have been impaired, they have never lost their self-esteem or perseverance. I can derive an infinite possibility of humans from their or their beliefs. They keep an unyielding spirit inside of them and undoubtedly they have a huge impact on us. I learn something from them and I'll pursue my dream and finally contribute to Japan.
Back to the initial question, would I like to be famous? Yes, I would.

In order to be famous, we must make effort, I think. Someone say "Your effort doesn't always bear fruit, however the person who succeeded always make effort."
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite worried about wether I'm famous or not, but if there is something that I really appreciate in life is the fact of having been born without any disability or particular problem. I don't know what I would do if I had an accident the day of tomorrow and I lost my sight or the sensibility in my legs. I'm afraid I would not be able to carry on, in contras to all those people that you have mentioned. All of them are good examples of the power of willingness and the possibility of reaching your goals with effort, but what is more important, despite all their difficulties, they are completely happy.
ReplyDeleteThe people mentioned her are famous in a certain way of appreciation and gratitude because they have accomplished their goals and lived their lives with out quitting or giving up, they have made an aim for them selves and achieved it. So I thing that they aren't famous, they are people that we should look up to them and make their experience and achievements our methods in life that we should follow.
