Seeing obstacles as opportunities - Parkour way of life

Seeing obstacles as opportunities - Parkour way of life


人生中，都會存在著障礙，
端看我們的態度和決定，
要跨越障礙，
或選擇放棄。
Ali Kadhim，
以他Parkour (跑酷)的經驗
http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%B7%91%E9%85%B7
分享利用環境中的設施，做為障礙，並迅速穿越其間。
他對Parkour的定義：
...to overcome one’s obstacles in the environment, using the body and mind.
他認為我們應將obstacles視為moments of opportunity。
他指出一般父母都害怕幼童受傷，
而阻止他們玩遊樂場中具危險性的遊樂設施，
其實這會減少幼童探索、嘗試、學習，
並從錯誤成長的機會。
Ali Kadhim以他自身克服身體、心理障礙的經歷指出：
We have so much capability and so much in us that we don’t know about,
until we tap into it.
Ali Kadhim從Parkour領悟人生克服障礙的三個要方：
1. Be creative. Use everything that you have around you.
See from a different prospective, from a different angle.
2. You got to look at failure as the engine of success.
3. You’ve got to maintain that positive mindset.
他的結論很受用：
So the mind has so much power over what we do in life.
We can crumble or we can conquer.
But either way, we’ve got to decide.
很有勵志性的一場分享。
