Don't compare yourself with others, victory is just victory over yourself
Kayleigh 2022-03-26 09:01:06
Everyone's starting point is different, we don't need to conquer others, we just need to conquer ourselves step by step. Many people used to be brilliant, but one day they lost to themselves because of laziness, conceit and other reasons, and went downhill in life. No matter what the starting point is, every step up is a victory. One day, when you go to the top of the mountain and look back, the person who once surpassed you may trek in the middle of the mountain, and even many people have given up, or nostalgic for the scenery of a certain ravine or walking in circles on a certain mountain road.

Matti Nykänen: You and I... You and I are like one o'clock and eleven o'clock. You see, we are closer to each other than to others. Winning, losing, all that stuff is for the little people. Men like us, we jump to free our souls. We are the only two jumpers with a chance to make history today. If we do less than our best with the whole world watching, it will kill us inside. For all time.
Eddie Edwards: Good luck, Matti.
