Dream on the road
Hello, everyone! It’s my honor to speak here, and I’m very glad to share my topic with you. Then today I’d like to talk something about a cartoon calld Slam Dunk. Maybe you can’t understand what is Slam Dunk, but if I tell you its Chinese name, you must know ,it’s ‘灌篮高手’.
Slam Dunk is a Japanese cartoon whose author is Yasushi male merits. It is a story about the growth of a senior high school basketball team—Shohoku. Takenori Akagi, the captain of Shohoku, was a great basketball centre. Due to the lack of good co-workers, Akagi couldn’t realize the dream of making Shohoku step on the national stage. With the join of Hanamichi Sakuragi, a born athlete who grew at an unbelievable speed, Kaeda Rukawa, the super rookie and the rejoin of Ryota Miyagi, a great backfielder as well as ‘a senior kid’, Hisashi Mitsui, an ex-MVP of junior high school but once missed himself in a wrong way, Shohoku strived against the other strong basketball teams and finally won the tickets to the national competition. From an unknown basketball team to a strong one, Shohoku caught people’s eyes gradually and became an outstanding basketball team in the Janpanese senior high school field.
Slam Dunk, let me have tears all over my face in the joke, let me still shock after ten years. It lets me like basketball, lets me know the meaning of dream. Do you have the same feeling with me?
Do you remember the dream at young age?
Do you remember the tears and sweat due to fight?
Do you remember the crucible which burned passion of youth? Yes, I remember.
Today, I don’t tell you about the characters in Slam Dunk, I only tell you about the significance of Slam Dunk.
Slam Dunk is a beautiful word. Here, everyone is fighting for his own dream! These Cruel Winter Blues perform gloriously at the same stage due to insistence and love to basketball. Shinichi Maki exercise three-point shot day and night because of without professional skill. Tiangang search for good player here and there for his team. He once said: Do you feel strange that I still have dream although I have been an old man… Basketball is his dream. They play basketball with their life.
Slam Dunk is a wonderful world. Here, success or failure is not judged by win-lose. Heroes are not judged by success or failure. Who can say Shohoku which didn’t get first is not stronger? Who can say Akira Sendoh and Kenji Fujima who didn’t attend national competition are not heroes? The main teams in Slam Dunk don’t get first, which Slam Dunk wants to tell us: win-lose is not everything. The important thing is you have tried, you have done all you can, then you have succeed! Everyone in Slam Dunk all looked squarely at failure: Akira Sendoh said I can start from scratch with smile when he faced the sky… Can you say they lose? Basketball is his dream, it is love to basketball that let them keep straight
on. I think they will continue to go. When they go and look again at the time, they will see the regretless youth!
What about you? Do you have dream? Will you hold on your dreams and never give up like the boys in Slam Dunk? Will you dare to try no matter how many times you failed like the boys in Slam Dunk? Will you fight yourself even though your dream seems to be so far and have no possibility to realize? Will you clap your hands for the other people and encourage them to keep straight on when they pursue their dream? As an old saying goes, you won’t regret what you have done, but you will only regret what you haven’t done when you are old. So from now on, control your own destiny and pursue your own dream like the boys in Slam Dunk! If you just imagine sitting, then everything is just a dream forever, but if you have a little courage to implement if possible tomorrow, you had a dream come true. Be brave, one day you will find the road of pursuing dream is the most beautiful trip!
