Everyone has heard the phrase,"giving up is not an option".Many disregard it and do not believe in it.But this small yet effective phrase gives a strong message.There will always be something that interrupts or causes inconvenience in the journey to achieve the dreams.But that should not drive one away from the path that they are on.Fitting the context perfectly is the story of Ian William.
Popularly known as the "Social Golfer"，Ian William is an accountant,lecturer,author,and a former golf player.He dreamed of playing golf at childhood.He would often observe players playing from a distance.He worked hard and changed his financial（财政的）difficulties.Then he began practicing various golf matches.Due to his devotion and love for the sport,he picked up the techniques quickly and soon began playing as a professional.He also dreamed of participating in the Senior Golf Tour in the coming year.
However,in 1996，Ian was diagnosed with a tumor（肿瘤）in the left part of his brain,which affected his hearing from the right side and damaged his balance nerve.He experienced two surgeries in 1997 with a smile and a hope to be cured.Although the surgeries were successful,Ian caught meningitis（脑膜炎） while recovering from it.Apart from being hopeful and optimistic,there was no other way Ian could cope with the situation.
Just as things had begun to normalize,in 2006，Ian's body was affected by a major stroke.This stroke numbed（使麻木）the left side of his body.His life-long dream of participating a golf tournament could not be realized anymore.
Ian took his time to recover and came back even stronger.He wanted to encourage millions with his journey and decided to share his experiences through a book.Ian has now published his 3rd book Still Crazy After All These Years,in 2020.
