Do you agree or disagree with thefollowing statement? Playing sports teaches people more lessons about the life.

As the pace of life has become faster and faster, many employees merely concentrate on their office work even in their spare time, ignoring playing sports. Although it seems most workers do not possess enough time for sprots, I subscribe to the notion that doing sports will provide people with more lessons about life.

First and foremost, people are able to learn about the spirit of transcendence from sports. Dating back to 2004 Olympic Games, we still remembered the inspiring story of the Chinese athlete Liu Xiang. In the past decades, running was universally considered as the kind of sports that Asians, especially Chinese would never be good at. With Asian people's nature and pressure, audience nearly pay any attention to Liu and would like to enjoy the game played by Black people. However, with hard and scientific training acting as the foundation, Liu built up his confidence and did his endeavor to transcend the mental block from common sense. Ultimately, he ran fastest, achieving 12.91s as a record. Specially, Chinese people were greatly impressed by the unbelievable and miraculous transcendence performed by Liu, which became an significant lesson in their life.

Furthermore, it is the lesson of cooperation that the sports teach the team members. Associated with a plant, while nutrient and water in the soil are just like the prize of a sports competition, the roots of the plant resemble the team players. In order to absorb as much nutrient as possible, every branch of the roots is required to grow in different directions. Under this circumstance, every branch is able to obtain the exact nutrient in their tiny area without having to interfere with the process of other branches. Otherwise, they may compete in one tiny area, leaving other nutritious places undeveloped, which remarkably decreases the efficiency. Smilarly, to fight for the best prize, members in one team are supposed to perform their best in respective aspects, which is the approach of collaboration. And the skills of cooperation and how to put them into practice are what the sports teach them.

Last but not least, people tend to realize the importance of keeping fit from doing sports. According to a recent survey conducted by Peking University, approximately 71.6% of the citizens feel that they desire a healthier life from playing sports. Some interviewees believe they feel less exhausted due to frequent sports, and they even know scientific ways of doing sports. Therefore, individuals learn to cherish healthy life style by doing sports.

In conclusion, it is the sports that offer people the spirit of transcendence, the truth of cooperation and a healthier life. As a consequence, sports certainly bring inspiration for people about life.
