My favorite movie of all time is Cool Runnings£®It is silly£¬but also inspirational£®It is loosely based on the true story about the 1988 Jamaican Bobsled team who competed in the Calgary Winter Olympics£®After they qualified for the Olympics£¬they got three runs on three separate days£®

In the Jamaican¡¯s first run£¬they copied the Swiss team style and technique£®They ended up in last place after the first day£®After some reflection and pep talks£¬the team went back to their roots£®They were true to themselves and 100£¥prepared for the second run£®Everything clicked and they moved into 8 th place£®The final run they once again were true to themselves and more than prepared£®Their starting push time was incredible£®The announcer even went as far as calling them¡°champs¡±during that run£®Unfortunately£¬that rickety old sled(Ñ©ÇË)they used couldn¡¯t hold up and they crashed£®They picked up the sled and finished the race£® I think you can use the three runs they had and make them relate to your lives£® You can be like the first run and try to be someone else£®You can be jealous of other people£®You call go off course and not be true to yourself£®You may also see yourself finishing in last£®

You can be like the second run and be true to yourself£®God gives us all so many special and unique gifts£¬something that makes you who you are£®When you realize what you can offer and use them for good£¬you will see the fruits of your labor£®

The third run is the true reality of life£®Sometimes you can go into a situation or relationship with a11 of the best intentions in the world£®Sometimes you can be the best¡°you¡±possible£¬but something will still go wrong£®That is life£®However£¬just like those four Jamaicans who crashed the sled£¬you can get up and finish the race£®Always finish the race£® 28£®What is Cool Runnings based on?
