問題詳情：

During my third and fourth grade years, my family moved to Louisville, Kentucky. To our surprise we soon discovered the World’s Boxing Champion’s mother lived less than one mile from our home. Ali was my dad’s idol.

During one of Ali’s visits to stay with his mother, my dad urged us to get in the car with his camera in hand. “Why?” we asked. “I know Ali is at his mother’s house. I want you boys to meet the champion!” he firmly replied.

My brother hopped(單腳跳)in an I was seriously forced to get in. I was scared to be so stupid as to go to this big man’s childhood home. Ali had a tight schedule and limited time with his mom and, honestly my dad’s over-asser-tive manner embarrassed me.

My brother was game(勇敢的); I was entirely too tame! I realized as a small potato my father was in his greatest strength. He killed fear by taking action in spite of it. Ali told my father that the was the “only cat” who was brave enough to knock on his mama’s door. I didn’t realize we were rude but we made it. The confident man who boxed and beat many big men down with his fists couldn’t resist the same confidence of a man with a camera and his boy.

Now looking a the picture of Ali’s big fist raised in good humor and against my brother’s left jaw, I thanked my dad for his devoting himself to bringing us up. My dad is a retired soldier and has a big heart. My brother is a lawyer and has won more cased of considerable currency than he’s lost, of which my father is proud. Not being as good as my brother, I am now studying in the top university of the world. My dad learned that in order to be a champion you must be willing to hand with champions

Now I recall when we got to Ali’s mom’s house, we kept knocking on the door but no one else replied. We knocked long enough and we realized our goal. If you knock long enough and wait patiently, the door of happiness will be open to you. People have peepholes(窺視孔)now, but don’t doubt your beliefs and if you must you will reach your goal.
