Take yourself seriously

"The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle" - Eddie the Eagle.

Geniuses are often madmen. Eddie is not a genius, but a lunatic who works miracles. When he changed from the 70-meter platform to the 90-meter platform, everyone held their breath and wished him success. You know, others started practicing from the age of six or seven, but he only practiced for a year when he was in his twenties. Miracles come from persevering in belief and never giving up. Eddie has a silly optimism. The number of failures from childhood to adulthood, the possible shattering of 40 meters and 70 meters, makes this kind of never giving up extremely weighty. The miracle also comes from Mom's unconditional love and support, Mom I love you and I love you too, Eddie. The miracle also came from such a handsome coach "Wolverine". He was drinking a little wine and leaping from 70 meters. He was really handsome. "You never looked at the platform because you never looked at yourself," said his coach, who thought he was extremely talented but regretted. Yes, have you taken yourself seriously? Have you ever looked at yourself, taken yourself seriously, and loved yourself? Recognize yourself in exchange for the recognition of the world.

The Olympic spirit is not about winning championships but about participating. What matters in life is not victory, but effort.

Eddie the Eagle quotes

  • Eddie Edwards: I just thought we could have a little chat about me being an Olympic ski-jumper.

    Bronson Peary: You've more chance of being a ballerina than a jumper.

    Eddie Edwards: Good one. I was juts after a few tips, really.

    Bronson Peary: Give up, there's one for free.

  • Bronson Peary: [showing Eddie the models of the different ramps] I felll in love with this sport, man. It started with this little baby. This 15 metre little vixen. You manage to land that because it's meant to hook you into the sport, right, so otherwise you wouldn't even bother trying. The 40 meter, when you stack you get bruised, which I don't have to explain to *you*.

    Eddie Edwards: [chuckles] Sorry.

    Bronson Peary: The 70 metre, you break bones and you're lucky if you can walk again. The 90 metre. The goddess. Let's just say in the Wild West we'd be measuring you for your coffin before you even reach the stairs. Never forget that, kid.
