Nikolai's patience and my hard work earned me a fourth-place national ranking heading into the pre-Olympic season, but then I missed the cut for the 2002 Olympics. Last summer, I returned to visit Nikolai. He made me tea and did the dishes! We talked while sitting on his couch. Missing the Olympic Team the previous year had made me pause and reflect on what I had gained - not the least of which was a quiet, indissoluble bond with a short man in a tropical shirt. Nikolai taught me to have the courage, heart, and discipline to persist, even if it takes a billion tries. He taught me to be thankful in advance for a century of life on earth, and to remind myself every day that despite the challenges at hand, "Now must be love, love, love."
尼克萊的耐心和我的勤奮使我贏得了全國第四名的好成績，并開始為奧運會季前賽做準備。但后來我沒能被選拔去參加2002年奧運會。 去年夏天，我回去拜訪尼克萊。他給我沏了茶，還自己洗了碗！我們坐在沙發(fā)上聊天。懷念起前一年的奧林匹克隊，我一時沉默，回想起自己曾經(jīng)獲得的一切──很重要的一點就是我和這個穿著頗具熱帶風(fēng)情襯衫、個子不高的男人之間形成了并不張揚但又牢不可摧的紐帶。 尼克萊教會我即使需要無數(shù)次的努力，也要憑借勇氣、熱情和嚴格的紀律來堅持下去。他還教會我為了能在這世界上生活一輩子而預(yù)先心存感激，并每天提醒自己：即便面臨許多挑戰(zhàn)，“現(xiàn)在心里有的必須是愛、愛、愛?！?/div>
