查尔斯·舒兹 Charles Schulz 的查理·布朗Charlie Brown卡通人物

（图片译文：查理·布朗想：“总算这一次，我高兴天在下雨。”。。。 “雨水帮我掩藏眼泪”）

这是关于一个外号为斯巴齐的男孩的真实故事。对斯巴齐来说，学校很让他失望。他念8年级时，所有科目都不及格。高中的物理课他得了零分，拉丁语课，代数和英文也都不及格。斯巴齐的体育也不理想，虽然他勉强加入了学校的高尔夫球队，他总在季节赛中失败，在慰籍赛中，他仍然失败。在交际方面，少年时期的斯巴齐很苯拙。他的同学并不讨厌他，只是没有人在乎他。若课间有同学对斯巴齐说“你好”，都会令他吃惊。没有人想象他能约会女孩子。事实上，整个高中时代，斯巴齐从未约会过女孩。他担心自己会被拒绝。斯巴齐是个失败者。他自己，他同学。。。每个人都这样认为。所以他得过且过。

斯巴齐很早就认为，若事情能够成功，一定会成功。否则，他满足于自己无可避免的平庸。但是，对斯巴齐来说，有一件事很重要 - 绘画。他为自己的作品自豪。当然，没有人欣赏他的作品。高中最后一年，他将自己的卡通作品呈交给毕业年册编辑，但作品被拒。尽管被拒，斯巴齐仍确信自己这方面的能力，他决定成为一个专业艺术家。

高中读完后，他写信给迪斯尼技术室，迪斯尼让他寄规定题材的卡通样品，斯巴齐画了卡通，花了很多时间，并寄去所有的卡通作品。最后，迪斯尼技术室给他答复，他再次被拒，失败者的又一次失败。于是，斯巴齐决定通过卡通来写自传。他描述儿童时的自己 - 一个失败的男孩和长期的无成就者。这个卡通人物很快举世闻名。你瞧，斯巴齐，一个在学校很失败的男孩，他的作品被一次又一次拒绝的人，是查尔斯·舒兹。他创造了“花生”喜剧卡通片，和那个风筝永远飞不起来，球也总踢不好的卡通人物 - 查理·布朗。

学生时代的斯巴齐是个失败者。他自己，他同学。。。每个人都这样认为。但圣经马可福音10:27有言：“耶稣看着他们，说：“在人是不能，在神却不然，因为神凡事都能。”

斯巴齐确信自己绘画方面的才能，他决定成为一个专业艺术家。。。

加拉太书6:9：“我们行善，不可丧志；若不灰心，到了时候就要收成。”

英文原文：

This is the true story of a boy whose nickname was Sparky. For Sparky, school was all but impossible. He failed every subject in the eighth grade. He flunked physics in high school, getting a grade of zero. Sparky also flunked Latin, algebra, and English. He didn't do much better in sports. Although he did manage to make the school's golf team, he promptly lost the only important match of the season. There was a consolation match; he lost that too. Throughout his youth, Sparky was awkward, socially. He was not actually disliked by the other students; no one cared that much. He was astonished if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours. There's no way to tell how he might have done at dating. Sparky never once asked a girl to go out in high school. He was too afraid of being turned down. Sparky was a loser. He, his classmates...everyone knew it. So he rolled with it. Sparky had made up his mind early in life that if things were meant to work out they would. Otherwise, he would content himself with what appeared to be his inevitable mediocrity. However, one thing was important to Sparky -- drawing. He was proud of his artwork. Of course, no one else appreciated it. In his senior year of high school, he submitted some cartoons to the editors of the yearbook. The cartoons were turned down. Despite this particular rejection, Sparky was so convinced of his ability that he decided to become a professional artist. After completing high school, he wrote a letter to Walt Disney Studios. He was told to send some samples of his artwork, and the subject for a cartoon was suggested. Sparky drew the proposed cartoon. He spent a great deal of time on it and on all the other drawings he submitted. Finally, the reply came from Disney Studios. He had been rejected once again. Another loss for the loser. So Sparky decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons. He described his childhood self -- a little boy loser and chronic underachiever. The cartoon character would soon become famous worldwide. You see, Sparky, the boy who had such lack of success in school and whose work was rejected again and again, was Charles Schulz. He created the "Peanuts" comic strip and the little cartoon character whose kite would never fly and who never succeeded in kicking a football -- Charlie Brown.

 Sparky was a loser. He, his classmates...everyone knew it... However God sees differently as in Mark 10:27 - But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.

Sparky was so convinced of his ability that he decided to become a professional artist.... And in Gal. 6:9 - “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
