(2022·湖南联考)If there's one thing I can't stand people saying, it is “I'm not good at anything or I don't have any talent”, and I just don't buy that at all. To me, everyone has at least one talent, which it sometimes takes you a lifetime to find, and it does exist. There was a time when I didn't believe that. What changed my mind was a seemingly small event that took place in 1953.
At that time I was a high school student. I was a funnylooking skinny boy named Eugene Maurice Orowitz, who weighed barely 100 pounds, and I was a good student, but as far as I was concerned, in just about every other department I was a loser. I wanted to fit in, to be someone and do something well. But I hadn't found anything I was good at. One sunny afternoon, our gym class went out to the school's running track. The teacher taught us all various track and field events. I was a loser in all of them. Then came the javelin (标枪). Suddenly something inside me began saying, “Try it! Try it!” I had to wait my turn, though, trying not to look too eager. Finally, when everyone had a chance to throw the javelin with the best throw going about 30 yards, I looked at the teacher.
“Hey, Orowitz, do you want to try?” he asked.
Embarrassed, I looked down, but managed to nod my head.
“Well, come on then,” he said impatiently, and handed me the javelin. Behind me I could hear some of my classmates laughing. As I grasped the javelin in my hand, I was seized with a strange feeling—a newfound excitement. For some crazy reason, I was relaxed over what I was about to do, even though I'd never done it before. I raised the javelin over my head, took six quick steps and let the thing go. The same voice that had urged me to throw it, now told me it was a good throw.

I watched as the javelin took off.
