6月23日。無論是棋士、運動選手還是人生鬥士,他們總帶著武士精神挺直腰桿,因為面對這個決鬥的世界,該做的事只有一件,就是竭盡全力奔跑到最後。
今天是【國際奧林匹克日】(Olympic Day),這一天紀念著1894年6月23那日,法國人文思想教育家Pierre de Coubertin(人稱「現代奧林匹克之父」)所做的努力,他在四處奔走倡議多年之後,終於成立奧林匹克委員會,讓古希臘奧運競賽得以在兩年後重新啟動,恢復讓全球能和平參與、透過體育公平競爭的平台。
歡迎收聽今晚8點的Bravo FM 91.3【愛的故事】節目—奧林匹克日特輯,節目中和大家討論需多奧運相關的話題,準備節目的過程中我對Pierre de Coubertin這人,真是衷心的敬佩了,此人深感運動對品格和教育的重要,認為運動不僅鍛鍊身體,絕對還培養了道德、自律和榮譽心,他潛心研究古代奧林匹克競賽的種種,然後一生致力讓古代奧運在現代重生,而且他真的做到。
今天【隔空歡唱】的時間,我們挑戰Mariah Carey 1993年推出的全球暢銷單曲【Hero】(英雄)。在【國際奧林匹克日】這天,我們向那些奮鬥不懈的勇士和運動選手致敬。來,合唱三分鐘。
【Hero】
There's a hero if you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid of what you are.
There's an answer if you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know will melt away
Then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive.
So, when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you.
It's a long road when you face the world alone;
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold.
You can find love if you search within yourself
and the emptiness you felt will disappear.
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive.
So, when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you.
Lord knows dreams are hard to follow,
But don't let anyone tear them away.
Hold on, there will be tomorrow,
In time you'll find the way
Then a hero comes along
Wth the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive.
So, when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in ... you!
