Some years later in the 1960s, my dadtalked to me about failure.
At the time I was very discouraged at my careerplans after serving two years in the Peace Corps inGabon, West Africa. I said to my dad, "Dad, youknow I've been a failure at everything I've tried inlife and I just don't know what to do now."
My dad looked at me with those "genius eyes"and said to me,"Failure is a relative(相对的) thing.It has a time line! Now just remember that failure is not an option…in this lifetime! "He then explainedto me that failure is part of a successful path, and thatI should always keep in my mind that time, failureand success all work together.

As early as 1894,the newly-formed InternationalOlympic Committee(IOC) considered ice skating as apossibility for the first modern Olympic Games whichwould be held in 1896.
In 1911, a member of the IOC suggested thatwinter sports should be staged as part of the 1912Olympics in Helsinki. Some opposed the idea. At last,the IOC decided to hold Winter Olympic Games in1916. However, World War I broke out in 1914.After 1920, the national governing bodies for wintersports in several countries began talking about thepossibility of separate Winter Olympics.
The town of Chamonix, in the French Alps,planned to hold a winter sports festival in 1924, andat the same time Paris was to host the Olympics. TheMarquis de Polignac, a member of the IOC, suggestedthat the festival be formally recognized as the WinterOlympic Games. The IOC didn't go that far, but didagree that Chamonix could call its festival an "Olympic winter carnival".
The festival drew 258 athletes from 16 countriesto compete in bobsledding(雪橇车比赛), figureskating, hockey, Nordic skiing and speed skating.Charles Jewtraw from the United States won the first
gold medal, in the 500-metre speed skating,but thefestival's hero was Claus Thunberg from Finland. Hewon five medals, three of which were gold, in speedskating.
Weather has often been a major story at theWinter Olympics, and so it was at Chamonix. Thefestival opened with rain and unseasonably warmtemperature that turned snow and ice to mud. Thentemperature dropped as far as 25 below zero and themud became ice.
Despite the weather, more than 10, 000 peopleshowed up. At its yearly meeting in 1925, the IOC recognized the Chamonix festival as the first WinterOlympics and decided that the Winter Games wouldbe held every four years, just like the SummerOlympics.

Then they grew and continued to be playedevery four years. In 393 AD, the Roman emperorTheodosius I, a Christian, announced to end theGames because of their pagan (异教的)influences.
About l, 500 years later, a young Frenchmannamed Pierre de Coubertin began their revival (恢复) . In 1892 Coubertin first brought forward his idea to revive the Olympic Games but failed.
Two years later, Coubertin organized a meetingwith 79 delegates(代表) who represented ninecountries. At this meeting he got what he wanted. Allthe delegates at the conference voted for the OlympicGames. They also decided to have Coubertin set up aninternational committee to organize the Games. Thiscommittee became the International Olympic
Committee (IOC) and Demetrious Vikelas fromGreece was selected to be its first president. Athenswas chosen for the revival of the Olympic Games.
The very first modern Olympic Games opened inthe first week of April, 1896. Since the Greekgovernment .had been unable to afford a stadium, arich Greek architect, Georgios Averoff, donated onemillion drachmas (over $100, 000) to repair the Panathenaic Stadium, originally built in 330 BC.
Since the Games were not well publicizedinternationally, contestants(选手) were not nationally chosen but rather came individually and at their own expense. Some contestants were tourists who happened to be in the area during the Games.

D. The first ancient Olympic Games had several events.
The final event in the Olympics is the marathon. It is also usually the most exciting. As the leader comes into the stadium to run the last few meters ofthe 42-kilo-metre race, the crowd rises to its feet toshout and cheer. The name of the race comes from abattle in Ancient Greece. According to the story, asoldier ran from the scene of the battle,Marathon, toAthens, to bring the news of a Greek victory againstthe Persians. He died just after arriving.
The marathon has been an Olympic event sincethe modern Games started in 1896. At first the distance was 40 kilometres — the distance betweenMarathon and Athens. In 1908, however, at theLondon Olympics, it was changed. The King ofEngland wanted the runners to leave from his castlein Windsor and arrive m a new stadium in central
London. The distance was 26 miles — about 42kilometres. In fact, the 1908 marathon endeddramatically(戏剧性地). When the leader, an Italian,
entered the stadium he turned the wrong way and fellonto the ground. Officials picked him up and helpedhim to the finishing line,just as the second runner, anAmerican, entered the stadium. The Americans
protested (抗议) and in the end the American runnerwas declared(宣布)the winner. Since then, there havebeen many more exciting marathons.
In fact, you don't have to wait for the OlympicGames to run or watch a marathon, as there aremarathons in over sixty countries and hundreds ofcities around the world today. One of the mostfamous marathons is in New York, and is watched bytwo million people around the streets and across thebridges of the city's five boroughs(纽约市的行政区),and past New York's famous landmarks. But perhapsone of the most beautiful and extraordinary(最特别的) marathons ever is the Great Wall Marathon,which most competitors find is the toughest course torun.
The marathon is the final Olympic event becauseit is thought to be the hardest. But experts believe that most people — even people who are notparticularly good at sport — can run a marathon, ifthey train for it.
