When your dream is to become a footballer, nothing should get in your way—even if you have no feet.

Gabriel Muniz, an 11-year-old Brazil kid, was born without feet. Although his family thought he would have serious difficulties living a normal life, he started walking before he was one year old. His mother would go after him, expecting him to keep falling, but he never fell. It took him a while to make the jump from walking to playing football, but he did make it.

He's fast and he's got a big bag of tricks—he's very skilled and he does everything he can to copy his hero, Messi so much that he is invited to go to Spain to meet his hero Messi and show his talent in the Barcelona Football Club.

Stanley，as a son of a very poor farmer，left school early and went to work in a factory，for education was for the rich then．．So，the world became his school．．With great interest，he read

everything he could，listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his

hometown．．There's so much to learn，he'd say．．Though we're born stupid，only the stupid remain that way．．He decided that none of his children would be refused an education．．

Therefore，Stanley insisted that we should learn at least one new thing each day．．Though，as children，we thought this was crazy，we'd still do that．．And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we learned．．We would talk about the news of the day．．Sometimes the news was unimportant，but it was always taken seriously．．Stanley would listen

第 3 页carefully and discuss it with us

．．

Then came the moment-the time to share the day's new learning．．

Felice，he'd say，tell me what you learned today．．

I learned that the population of Denmark is…

Silence．．

Stanley was thinking about what was said．．The population of Denmark．．Hmm

．．Well…he'd say．．Get the map；

let's see where Denmark is．．And the whole family went on a search for Denmark．．

This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn．．Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts．．

As children，we thought very little about these educational wonders．．Our family，however，was growing together，sharing experiences and joining in one another's education．．And by looking at us，listening to us，respecting what we learned，confirming our value，Stanley was surely our most influential teacher．．

Later during my training as a future teacher，I studied with some of the most famous educators．．They were imparting（传授）what Stanley knew all along-the value of continual learning．．His skills have served me well all my life．．Not a single day has been wasted，though I can never tell when knowing the population of Denmark might prove useful．．
