After looking at the small video" find your greatness", I was impressed by it. I consulted the background knowledge about it after class.
This advertisement is an inspirational advertisement by Nike during London Olympic Games. It focuses on the fighting spirit of athletes and encourages people to be the best of themselves.
Here are my three ideas about it.
First and foremost,we can learn a kind of fighting spirit from it. This fighting spirit can be regarded as living your greatness.I don't think there is a universally applicable standard for judging a man's greatness. Judging whether a man is great or not, we should look at him in a comprehensive way. Some people did not make a great contribution to society or not for the benefit of many people, but their spirit will bring us inspiration. For instance, some people struggle to save other people' lives regardless of personal danger,and some disabled people do things that ordinary people cannot do.These people are also great.
So ordinary person, each of us, can find our greatness. As the saying goes:"no gold is pure,no man is perfect." Everyone is not perfect. Though you do something very badly, you do quite wonderfully in other ways. Believe in yourself. The things that other people can do also can be done by yourself through the effort. If you can't be a tree, go and do the grass; If you can't do the sea,go and do the stream; If you can't do the sun, go and do the stars. To sum up in a word: do your best. Your enemy is yourself.
Second, it is about advertising. This advertisement producted by the heat of the Olympics. It tells us that advertising design even business can be done with the current social hot spots. This kind of advertisement not only can attach customers' attention, but also may let more people concern about the great social events in some way.
Finally,each of us should have a right understanding of the Olympic spirit. The Olympic spirit refers to everyone should enjoy the possibility of sports, without any form of discrimination, and embody the Olympic spirit of mutual understanding, friendship, solidarity and fair play. Now many people have forgotten the spirit of the Olympics,and they lay too much stress on success and gold medals. So I think that we should value the spirit of participation and be willing to see athletes do their best of themselves and put their whole heart into doing sports instead of caring about winning and losing only.
In a way, everyone should find your greatness.
