Zhang Jiacheng, aged 14, is a one-armed boy who recently became an online star because of a short video of him playing basketball. Now, news on the boy has reached NBA player Stephen Curry.
“Who is this kid? Help me find him! He is so cute ,” posted Curry on Weibo. Later that day, Zhang replied to Curry, “Hello, Curry! I am a big fan of yours. I love you so much because you achieved a lot although you are not one of the big guys in the NBA.
Zhang also talked about his favorite CBA players Yi Jianlian of Guangdong and Guo Ailun of Liaoning. In fact, Yi had already noticed Zhang. Having shared his video, Yi posted on Weibo, “Your heart is always the strongest part of your body.” Yi’s former national teammate Zhu Fangyu also reposted the video, commenting (评论), “I have never seen any kid play basketball better than him. We want to invite him to visit our team.” Former CBA player Wang Jing spoke highly of his performance, “Your right hand has been taken away, but you have the most powerful left hand.”
His perfect moves make it even harder to believe that this kid learned these skills in less than two years. Be it rainy or windy, Zhang never stops playing basketball. He has posted 13 videos of him developing basketball skills and earned almost one million likes. “Give it a try, or give it up," Zhang believed. Zhang said his dream is to become a professional basketball player in the future. By the way he plays, you know he is serious.

Life is competitive - some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different to others. This means there are “winners" and “losers", and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between. You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself.
Being a “good” winner
No one likes a “show off”.
No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team.
No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good.
To be a good winner you need to:
◆Be modest(谦虚的).
◆ Thank those who helped you for their efforts.
◆ Keep trying to improve your skills.
◆Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well.
Being an even better loser
Of course it’s disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name-calling and going on about things being “unfair” won’t change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sport. And no one likes bad sports either.
To be an even better loser you need to :
◆ Behave politely, nicely and kindly.
◆ Congratulate the other team.
◆ Keep any negative (消极的) thoughts to yourself - at least until you are away from the game.
It’s Ok to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don’t do very well in a game, try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner too.
