Obstacles
Young Mo went to school in London but life was challenging. He didn’t speak English and had to adjust to a new culture. His natural talent for distance running was quickly noticed. Therefore, his teacher encouraged him to practise running faster every day. Young Mo was set on the right track and he had found his purpose. He began competing at a running club although things soon became tough. For example, he faced the bitter misfortune of not qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Games. However, he believed that one day he could achieve his goals. He always dreamed of being an Olympic champion so he pushed himself to the limit. “Don’t dream of winning, train for it,” Mo once famously said. He pushed past all disbelief and strived for excellence in every race.
