و وسوسه ناممکن ها This book first off I may have read it years ago as it felt familiar, but of course who hasn't learned the details of this amazing, inspiring man.
Very very few books make me emotional, Even knowing the ending, reading it, picturing it, The disappointment of him being unable to finish his dream, Wondering if he hadn't done so many appearances would he have made it further I suppose none of that matters.
The impact he has had on cancer research, Canadians and people around the world is what matters, What a truly beautiful book, You have to love one of our modern day, Canadian heroes, stared and finished in the same day after seeing a touching documentary on this kid he is pretty amazing.
The end of the book had too many fundraising facts but his story was good, No spoilers to be had because we all know what happens be sure you have tissues handy but even when you know how it ends it's still a fantastic journey.
I always struggle to review a book when the story is just amazing and yet the writing could have been better.
I still think this is worth the read, There are a lot of excerpts with Terry's own words that make it even more heartbreaking, but inspiring all the same.
بسیار تاثیرگذار
اگر شروع به دویدن کردید حتما این کتاب هم بخونید I didn't know that Terry Fox was so close in age to my Mom, They were even born on the same day onlyyears apart What an awesome book, As a Canadian born inI didn't know a lot about Terry Fox other than he had cancer and there is a run every year.
I now have a huge appreciation for him and feel the need to donate more and participate more.
What a great book. Opened my eyes! Canada's hero is Terry Fox! On harsh moments, Terry's story seems to be the reminder and remmedy.
An inspiring life. A must read book! کتاب کاروان امید سرگذشت پسر ۱۸ سالهای به نام تری فاکس است که مبتلا به سرطان مغز استخوان شده و یک پایش را قطع کردهاند. او علاقهی زیادی به دویدن داشته و عزم دویدن در خاک کانادا را دارد تا برای کمک به انجمن سرطانیها کمک مالی جمعآوری کند و خوشبختانه به هدفش میرسد. چیزی که برام جالب بود علاقهمند شدن به دویدن مقارن با خواندن این کتاب بود. کتاب کاروان امید حقیقتا روایتی عمیق از زندگی کسی بود که امید را در دلش زنده نگه داشته. سرطان جسم او را کشت ولی روح او را هرگز! تری فاکس کسی بود که اقیانوسی از امید و عزم راسخ در وجودش موج میزد. او اسطورهی کاناداست و مجسمهی او هماکنون در شهر اتاوا است.
همزمان با کتاب کاروان امید کتاب بیماری هم میخوندم که تجربهی خانم کرل از بیماریاش است و او طی جریان بیماریاش به فلسفهی بیماری هم پرداخته است. اینکه بدن در بیماری چه حالتی دارد و چگونه است دنیای اجتماعی و روابط اجتماعی فرد بیمار با دیگران و دوستانش چگونه میشود اینکه وجود بیماری روابط دوستی را عمیقتر میکند و باعث همدردی میشود یا کلا اینگونه روابط را از هم میپاشد و در آخر اینکه آیا لازمهی خوشبختی داشتن بدنی سالم است فردی بیمار خوشبخت نیست
ترس از بیماری ترس از مرگ و اینکه آیا میشود و میتوان در حال و لحظه زندگی کرد هم از مباحث خواندنی دیگر این کتاب بود که خواندنش خالی از لطف نیست.
و در آخر از این کتابها آموختم که یاد بگیرم با بیماری در لحظهی حال زندگی کنم و در همین لحظه و فارغ از تهدیدهایی که برای آینده وجود دارد خوشحال و خوشبخت باشم. جدا از فلسفهی درد! I watched abyon the Terry Fox story I think and in the show they mentioned he had written a book.
Without hesitation, while the show was still on I went onto Amazon and bought the book, This story is amazing. I can't even imagine the determination and strength that it took to do what Terry did, Inspiring really. "Terry saw himself as an ordinary person, average in everything but his determination, "
There's something that still moved me a lot about Terry's story, about his courage, his vision, his flaws and his Marathon of Hope legacy.
Terry Fox was an incredible individual and his story is enthralling, I have great admiration for him and loved reading about him, I am unsure as to what audience this book was written towards younger crowd as I was not overly impressed with the writing, actually stepping away from the book on my first attempt to read and coming back to it a little time later.
I would recommend reading it purely on the fact that Terry Fox's life is amazing and we all could learn from it, not necessarily because the writing is inspiring.
This book was good and taught me how I always have to have hope no matter what, Terry Fox was an amazing person who may have died young, but left a legacy that will endure for many, many years.
Overall, a very excellent look into the brief life of Terry Fox and very highly recommended, Scrivener uses Terry Fox's personal diaries, testimonials, and interviews to piece together Terry Fox's life, his Marathon of Hope, and the founding of the Terry Fox Foundation.
What I really appreciate about this book is that it does not mythologize Terry Fox in any way as Scrivener also portrays his faults, weaknesses, and strengths as he was known by those closest to him by his quick temper, to be overly demanding, and very stubborn but at the same time, he was more known for his charity, his compassion, his spirit, and his ambition.
Because of that, you get to admire Fox even more as he overcame his own personal struggles and demons to do something so selfless and difficult.
I would have liked a bit more detail on Fox's personal life and his Marathon, but overall an extremely wellwritten and organized book.
Fox's optimism and motivation is extremely contagious as he still has that ability to inspire and motivate others even beyond his untimely death.
This book will do at least two things to you,Grab a box of tissues andGet up off the couch and start chasing your dreams with renewed rigour and inspiration.
Terry Fox: His Story will go down as the most inspiring book Ive ever read,
I first heard about Terry Fox while living in Canada, I was immediately inspired by his story and he quickly became my favourite Canadian, I would later request my library once back in Australia to purchase this book such was my desire to learn more about this remarkable young man and his Marathon of Hope.
I couldnt put this down, Despite being an easy read, it was also a gruelling one, as it truly made me feel like I was doing the Marathon of Hope alongside Terry.
Leslie Scrivener writes superbly and gives a fantastic insight into who Terry was as a person the grit and determination, the athletic abilities, the temper and stubbornness.
She really gives such a wellrounded account that you quickly feel like you personally know Terry,
Pictures scattered throughout help bring to life Terry's journey across Canada, This is the perfect book for anyone who has a goal and wants to achieve it, One of Terry's secrets was that he set small goals for himself,
"I broke it down, Get that mile down, get to that sign, get past that corner and around that bend, That's all it was. That's all I thought about, I didnt think of anything else, ” a great reminder for all of us and how we approach life's hurdles,
I particularly
enjoyed reading about Terry's time in Ontario, Having lived there, I was better able to imagine certain places mentioned, It was also where Terry's fame and support rose to incredible heights viral by today's standards, The impact he had on every day people from executives, to prisoners, to cancer patients, to kids, was one of the most heartwarming aspects of the book.
In a book with many memorable moments and people, Greg Scott will also forever have a place in my heart and memory.
The reasons for Terry's run across Canada are still as strong and poignant inas they were in.
Leslie Scrivener is to be applauded for the way in which she has covered every aspect of Terry's life and journey.
The legacy of Terrys heroic run across Canada is also featured extensively I believe this was the updated section of the edition I read.
It reinforces just how amazing Terrys efforts were and continue to be for countless Canadians and people around the world.
With overmillion raised in Terry's name since his Marathon of Hope I think it's safe to say he has surpassed his target of.
millionfor every Canadian.
Well done Terry, and thank you for being constant source of inspiration for me and others.
“Anythings possible if you try, dreams are made if people try” Terry Fox.
A must read for all Canadians! اون موقع دنای ارتباطات و اینترنت و فضای مجازی نبود که اگه بود تاثیر و نتیجه کاری که تری فاکس ۲۱ ساله کرد صدها برابر میشد,
نوشتن ریویو برای این کتاب نظر دادن در مورد تری فاکس و کاری که کرد برام خیلی سخته.
هم کاری که کرد به نظرم خیلی بزرگ و تحسین برانگیز و مافوق تصوره و هم یه جاهایی از دستش حرص میخوردم که چرا فکر خودش نیست. نمیتونم کامل هضمش کنم.
برای همین به نقل دو جمله از تری فاکس اکتفا میکنم:
چرا باید دنیا پر از آدمهایی باشد که فقط به فکر خودشان هستند ای کاش فقط هر یک از ما به اندازه سهم خودمان تلاش میکردیم. تاثیرگذار غمگین در عین حال امیدبخش کتاب سرگذشت دوندهای کانادایی است که در سن ۲۲ سالگی در اثر ابتلا به سرطان چشم از جهان فروبست.
تری فاکس پس از آگاهی از ابتلایش به نوعی خاص و کمیاب از سرطان که موجب قطع یکی از پاهایش میشود تصمیم میگیرد بهمنظور جمعآوری کمکهای مردمی برای تحقیقات دانشمندان بر روی سرطان خاک کانادا را درنوردد که در طی این مقصود با مشکلات و موانع زیادی رو به رو میشود اما هیچگاه دست از هدف خود نکشیده تا اینکه پس از طی بخش قابل توجهی از مسیری که قرار بود پیموده شود بار دیگر به سرطان مبتلا شده و در پی آن از ادامهی راه بازمانده و پس از مدتی جهان را بدرود میگوید.
لازم به ذکر است که این حرکت تری فاکس سبب جمعآوری مبالغ قابل توجهی کمکهای مردمی میشود و همچنین احساسات مردم را در سراسر جهان برمیانگیزد.
کتاب عجیبی از حیات و جد و جهد آدمی که توانست عامل همبستگی ملتی شود یا ملتی در پس کوشش او خودش را فراهم بیاورد. سالها پیش خواندم و ریویو کوتاه بدی نوشته بودم خواستم اینجوری رفع و رجوع کنم. یاد روزهایی افتادم که کتاب را دهبیست صفحه یکجا میخواندم و اولش به نظرم بیخود آمده بود بعد دلم را همراه سفر سخت قدم به قدم تری فاکس لرزاند و حقیقتش تکان خوردم. آدمی ساده در شرایطی که عدالت حرفی برای گفتن ندارد ئا به راهی گذاشته که میداند تهش چیست اما تمام رفتنش برای بعد خودش است. برای آدمهای تاریخی بعد خودش. .
