One time, someone asked the Teacher:
“Teacher, how did you catch up two points that fast?”
The Teacher told him.
Today’s game was very difficult. My team was losing by one point but barely caught up two points.
I calculated time but we did not have time to catch up. So I prayed, “God, if we have 30 more minutes, we can score two more points and win, but we don’t have that much time. If we can extend game time, we can win.”
Then, I heard a voice,
‘Run more. If you run twice as fast, can’t you win? If I give you more time to win, isn’t it illegal?’
After hearing the voice, I encouraged my team to run harder, and I ran hard with the heart of running twice as fast.
Even if people exercise and take care of their health to live long, you can’t live twice your life span. You can live healthy a little longer than your life span. However, if you run more and run diligently and hard in the limited time, you can’t live longer than your life span but can do a lot more things. No one can live twice or three times longer than the life span that God has given you.”
Even now, the Teacher is living, taking action upon the word that he spoke to us at that time.
The secret of living long now.
One who takes action upon the word will gain long life.

如果跟老師踢完足球，我們就會不約而同聚集到老師面前。
這時候有人問，
「老師，怎麼能一下子進了兩球呢？」
老師說，
「今天的比賽真辛苦。本來輸了一球，後來好不容易才贏了，不是嗎？我看時間發現沒時間追上了，所以我禱告說：『 神哪！只要再給我三十分鐘就可以追上兩球，這樣就會贏，可是時間太不夠了。只要延長時間就可以贏。』
那時我聽到聲音『更多奔跑吧！奔跑兩倍的話不就行了嗎？如果因為要贏而給你更多時間不就違法了嗎？』聽到這聲音之後，我就拼命叫我們這邊的人努力奔跑，我也帶著要奔跑兩倍的心情努力奔跑了。
人們為了要活得長久而去運動、管理健康，這樣不是活兩倍。只是健康地稍微多活一點而已。但是在有限的時間中奔跑更多、更勤勞、努力地生活，這麼一來雖然在時間上無法活得很久，可是卻可以做更多事。不管是誰，都無法超越 神所訂下的時間活兩倍、三倍的。」
現在老師仍然按照當時告訴我們的那樣實踐。
活得長久的秘密，
實踐的人才能得到。
