  • 2．    Tom Brady is the oldest active player in the National Football League，and somehow he's won yet another Super Bowl trophy （"超級(jí)碗"獎(jiǎng)杯）.Here are key secrets to Brady's success.
        1 ：（1）
    One of the least appreciated reasons why Brady has been able to hold on is that he has been changing the way he plays the game to accommodate （適應(yīng)） his age.
        One example：Early in his career，Brady was known for waiting for the perfect moment to make long，hard，accurate passes. （2）
    This means less chance of being hit or injured by defensive players.
        2：He achieves work-life balance.
        Brady is crazy about football to the exclusion （排除） of almost everything except family，at least according to the journalists who have spent a lot of time with him.It's balance， （3）
    "He would be the first to tell you that there is no more or less to his reality right now than the sport of football and his family，" wrote Ben Court of Men's Health. "（4）
    He would wave those long arms and break into laughter as he describes how each of his kids delights him."
        3：He sets achievable goals.
        （5）
    It's entirely another to say that I want to be playing at age 45，and I want to win more Super Bowls than anyone else.
        He set the goal to improve his team — to win at least one Super Bowl with them.

    A．He adapts to win.
    B．And that's not at all easy.
    C．He devotes all his lifetime to his career.
    D．But the balance is between only two things.
    E．Whenever Brady talks about his family，he comes to life.
    F．It's one thing to say you want to be playing the greatest role of all time.
    G．In his 40s，however，he changed to faster，shorter passes，and more of them.

        "I don't do much planning，nor care much about tomorrow，"he said. "All I care about is that tomorrow will be another day in which I will wake up，get up，exercise and go to work.You need to get busy with the present，not the past or the future.Now is what counts.So，let's go to work!"
