Do it

This is almost a movie with a predictable ending from the very beginning. Even from the translated name, it can be seen that this is a story about "God rewards hard work", which aims to tell people "If you work hard enough, you will be able to succeed".

Similar to most American chicken soup and chicken blood routines, this film tells the story of Rudy, an ordinary poor student, how, in an ununderstood and unsupported situation, relying on his unremitting struggle, he finally realized his dream, The story of becoming a regular member of the Notre Dame football team. Although this is a story that didn't give people too many surprises, when I saw the players on the football team were willing to step down and give their jerseys for Rudy to play, my eyes were still a little wet. Rudy tried her best, maybe she didn't move herself, but she moved others.

He has no talent and lacks conditions, but he has found hope again and again and won the help of nobles; perhaps this provides evidence for "luck", but it is undeniable that, to a certain extent, it can be said that Rudy's own quality attracts Here comes this "luck". He is brave (and a bit cheeky) (seeking a priest to help him enroll in school, breaking into the coach's office to show his willingness, begging a lawnman to work for him), diligent (hard work, training without fear of death), tenacity (living in the basement), goal Firm (becoming a Notre Dame football player). These eventually allowed him to attract a series of people who helped him grow and help him build a bridge to his dreams when he had almost nothing.

These qualities are the necessary factors for success that have been said to be bad, but often few people have them. They seem simple, and they are just a few simple words and simple truths, but their realization is just like the recently popular saying "Why do you know all the truths, but you still can't live your life well." At that time, God gave people good luck, gave all instructions, pointed out the way to people, gave people the tools to realize, whether they can reach the ideal place in the end, there is a "do it" in the middle. However, more often, "do" is a more important talent and ability. It is not that simple. If the talent is not enough, it needs to be practiced and tempered day by day. It requires people to endure loneliness, withstand torture, face temptation as a mirror, and look forward to the future with a fighting spirit. And it's not that simple.

What's more, most people never see a road in their life.

Another point in "Rudy" that impressed me is that when Rudy failed to apply for the University of Notre Dame and said angrily that he had wasted this year, the administrator said something to him, to the effect: You have studied hard for a year, sat in the classroom of the college to receive a good education, absorbed so much knowledge, experienced so much, how can you say that you have gained nothing.

This is indeed the case. Many times we care too much about the result, and it is easy to deny ourselves with the failure of the result. But outcomes do not define us (though outcomes are important), and no single event ever determines who we are; what really shapes us is every passing process, every minute we experience to reach our destination. It is the accumulation of day-by-day and repeated attempts to finally construct our skin and bones. Therefore, when doing things, we should not only focus on the success or failure of the results, but also pay attention to the actual gains in the process.
