The so-called hard work is knowing that you will lose, but never losing too ugly

Anyone who hasn't seen a few inspirational films can say a few.
Little people, unwilling, difficult, and finally diaosi counterattack...
It seems that I have mastered the basic routine, and inspirational films seem to be the same:
the beginning is a mess, and the end is bright.

Being able to turn over and reach the top of the tower is the ending of most inspirational films.
From the very beginning, you knew that this protagonist would definitely win!
Either get a trophy or a medal, or at least a bonus.

In fact, many times, chicken soup is deceptive.
Created a dream for you, allowing you to see many impossibles and become possible.
It's like the slogan of those sports brand ads:
Impossible is nothing.
Or
Anything is possible.
In fact, what these movies don't tell you is that
there are some things in life that can't be done by hard work alone.

For example, "Rocky".
Can a gangster who collects debts counterattack and defeat a boxing champion?
Rocky said in the movie that
"he's a great fighter and I wouldn't look good against him".

Competitive sports are piled up with money.
Rocky works very hard, only relying on 6 eggs a day for nutrition.
Train yourself by freezing beef.
How can these knock out a boxing champion?
Everyone knows that in sports competitions,
people only remember the name of the winner.
Some things are impossible, no matter how hard you try.
But why do you want to do it even though you know you can't do it.
It's like the Olympic table tennis competition.
Why can't the Chinese team win the gold medal, and there are still countries to participate?

Rocky is self-aware,
his leg strength and right hand punching are not good.
But he knew that for him, success wasn't winning that impossible game,
but he could win his life back.
"Forget it, Adrienne, it's true, I'm nobody. But it doesn't matter, you know? Because I keep thinking, it doesn't matter if I lose, it doesn't matter if he breaks my head, because I Just want to stay the course. No one can play full court with Apollo, and if I can play full court, when the bell rings, and I'm still on the court, I'll know for the first time in my life that I'm not a jerk anymore. "
Look,
as long as he can stand in the ring for 15 fights with the boxing champion,
he will be able to stand up from the inferiority complex in life , and he will be able to live
the life of an ordinary person.

This reminds me of a recent movie, "Eddie the Eagle".
How would a high-level skier who is highly short-sighted, overweight, has no foundation from childhood and has only practiced for one year
explain his victory in an inspirational movie?
Eddie wanted to participate in training, but his father stopped him;
Eddie wanted to find a coach, but other players laughed at him; Eddie
wanted to enter the Olympics, but the officials of the Olympic Committee stopped him;
...
they all told him, don't do it.

Even though he is called "a disgrace to the sport" by professional athletes,
you can understand why Eddie is called that.
These people started professional training from the age of six until they competed in the Olympics,
And the one who competed with them on the same stage turned out to be an amateur player.
If it were me, I would be ashamed of it.
There are many such people in life. What are
you taking exams for? They say that taking these exams is of no use.
You read a book, they say it's useless.
You walk, they say how dirty and tiring.
You cut your hair, and they all say it's not good-looking and that's not good-looking.
Do you want to tell me which leg to take when going out?

Eddie just had one belief and did it.
Not only did he participate in the Olympics, but he also thought that the 70-meter platform was not enough, so he
wanted to go to the 90-meter platform that he had never tried before.
"I have to prove people wrong, I have to do it." What's
the use of doing it? It's no use doing it.
However, it made a difference in Eddie's life.
Every time he made a successful jump, he was elated, and
he was happy to have an Olympic result.
The audience has never seen the last one so happy,
so the audience not only liked him, but also gave him the title of "Flying Eagle",
"Flying Eagle" Eddie's limelight overshadowed all champions!

In the 1988 Olympic Games, "Flying Eagle" was born,
which was the only time that "Flying Eagle" appeared in the Olympic Games.
Because the Olympic Organizing Committee couldn't stand the "spoiler" of non-professionals,
it formulated the "Flying Eagle Rules" to
keep out the "flying eagles" who did not perform well enough.

The story of "Eagle Eddie" is based on a true story.
Although there are many fabricated elements in the movie, the
old man "Flying Eagle" himself said that half of it is true.
He admitted that his favorite is the last ten minutes of the movie,
that is, the scene where he thought about his training and finally decided to try the 90-meter scene.
"I want my moment!"
says Eddie in the movie.

Always aim for the highest
and keep working towards it
. That's what Eddie did.
There is only one gold medal,
but the moment standing on the 90-meter platform of the Olympic Games
is something that all athletes can enjoy.

Although Eddie was the last on the field,
he became a hero in life!
Just like Rocky,
he won the respect of his family, competitors, sports legends and all the audience,
and became a winner in life.

Actually,
"Eagle Eddie" is a "chicken soup" without chicken essence for us ordinary people
, and the filling is in place:
everyone may not end up shining on their own stage,
but they can always touch If you have the opportunity to get on the stage, if you
can stand on the 90-meter platform, you must release yourself without reservation.
Even if you lose, you can't lose badly!

This
is the essence of life, no matter how hard it hits you!
As the movie says:
"No matter what happens, don't give up! Do your best is your only option, even if you only get the result of failure in the end."
