Another kind of beautiful success

Today is an age of successful learning. Much of the distortion and chaos in China has to do with the pursuit of superficial success. We only pursue the results of reality, and often do not pursue the truth; We value the result so much that we never enjoy the process; We tend to do whatever it takes to meet certain expectations.

In 2012, I participated in the whole London Olympics coverage, the most important phrase of the London Olympics, was called "influence a generation". A reporter asked, "How do sports influence a generation?"

"Sport teaches kids how to win," replies a Locog official. In China, many things can be done to teach children how to win, but his next sentence touched me: "At the same time, teach children how to lose with dignity and dignity."

This is an education that the Chinese lack. In our education system, when do children grow up learning how to lose with dignity and dignity?

I memorized the words. On the one hand, it makes me understand more why sports play such an important role in our life. On the other hand, it is like a mirror, reflecting China at this time. Sometimes, the farther away from home, the clearer it gets.

Our ancestors have long understood this truth and said, "Nine times out of ten things are not satisfactory in life." Why don't we teach the "nine times out of ten" mentality and coping ability, since things are bad nine times out of ten? One out of ten success is seen as extremely important; Nine times out of ten, the frustration is magnified to nothing.

If you look back at Chinese history, including world history, and think about it, is failure terrible? China has numerous historical figures who were great because of their failures, not because of their successes.

Does success make Yue Fei great? If viewed from the perspective of our current "success study", Yue Fei is a failure. No matter how well you fight, you are recalled by a gold token, and finally do it, in the society of the time, he is a failure. Who were the winners? Qin GUI. But then what happened? Qin Hui has been kneeling by the West Lake for many years, but Yue Fei is our hero, right?

Is Xiang Yu a success? As a man, as a general, Xiang Yu has failed to the point of no more. I'm beating my concubine to death. But he still lives on as a hero in Chinese drama stories and people's conversations. On the contrary, the "successful" Liu Bang, will let us the heart, have a certain disdain or not so like the feeling.

Was Lin Zexu successful in life? He was remembered only for his success, Humen's elimination of cigarettes, but not for the pressure from many "conciliators" that led to his dismissal a year later. Was he successful in terms of officialdom at the time? Not at all.

Why make up for failure? Not just because life is bad nine times out of ten, but because from birth, people are on a one-way street, straight to death. Even if you win the world, you won't win this. Death is the biggest "failure", how should you face it?

Failure has many meanings, these meanings are greater than success, or there is a kind of success that must be a failure as a boost. South Tang Li, the words failure are also the peak, we want to experience that kind of failure that is difficult. But we still talk about him. Why? Because as a great literary creator, he remained in the history of Chinese literature. If not the complete collapse of the nation, he will write "ask how much you can worry, just like a river of spring to the east" such a sentimental? Don't. This failure is painful for Li, but for future generations, the inheritance of the Chinese language is not a blessing. In his writing, failure has become a beautiful mood.

Mozart. I've been to Salzburg, his hometown, more than once. He was not a popular man in his hometown. He was often ostracized and had a lot of misfortune. But he's also a genius. Genius in what way? The music he created in his life could not be copied by ordinary people. In his music, you don't hear the failure, you don't hear the frustration, you don't hear the loss of life and all the difficulties hidden. It is a wonderful thing that his music is always the original beauty of the world.

How many other great poets, it is because of life's misfortune, frustration and sadness, just write those great works? We all know that Su Shi's works are too good, but Su Shi's official career is very bad, often excluded, and relegated, but even so, he still left a masterpiece, even the life of negative emotions also found a creative outlet, otherwise "Dongpo meat" where? So, taking history as a mirror and going back to the individual, we should know that failure is sometimes needed and is an important agent of great creation.

We should also understand that setbacks and failures are opportunities for change. You know, people don't have to make decisions when they win, but they have to make decisions when they lose.

There's always been a rule in sports -- winners change, losers change, right? This year Barca won the treble, but back in January, almost all sports fans could not have imagined it. Barca was almost finished, losing to Real Madrid, Celta, and, above all, to Real Sociedad at the start of the New Year.

Failure is like a process of squeezing out cancer. One defeat seemed fine, and two defeats seemed tolerable, but after the defeat to Real Sociedad the whole team was full of contradictions: problems between Messi and the manager, problems with the style of football, and so on. This is the moment when the players realize it's bad and if we don't face up to it and make a new decision, we're going nowhere. Xavi wants to talk to Messi, and you're going to watch Cristiano Ronaldo win the Ballon D 'Or? And then to mediate between him and Enrique...

From that failure, the team went on the right track and created another "triple crown" miracle in the history of football. Had it not been for successive defeats, especially this one at Real Sociedad, had Muddlehead won, all the problems would have remained muddlehead. Losing every couple of games, losing every couple of games again, you might end up with a triple Crown, but not to such great heights.

Making a decision often means a change, but life is not so. Every time a failure or setback comes, you should look at it with curiosity, trying to figure out its purpose: Is this a reminder? Should I have made a better decision?
