two lives

"Happiness is the enemy, it makes you weak, makes you doubt, and suddenly there is something you can't let go"
"Don't take the enemy in your life as a curse, it is also a gift from God. The wise learn from the enemy , learns more than a fool from a friend"
"People always see us as rivals, but he's one of the few I like, one of the fewer I respect, and he's still the only one I'm jealous of people".

About passion, love, competition, friendship, life and death. A very hot movie. In many cases, people need some external stimulation. For example, an opponent can motivate you to continue to grow. It is also under this kind of equal competition that the two parties can make continuous progress. Education has always told us not to compare with others, to compare with ourselves, we are better than what we did last time. This kind of encouragement, at least for me, is almost empty talk. A lot of times inertia still defeats the so-called desire to be a little bit better today than yesterday. Looking back on your own life, you may be right at all with the saying "happiness is the enemy". I live a comfortable life for the time being, without too much extravagance and without too much dissatisfaction, and such happiness ends up being like the frog that was immersed in the continuously heated boiling water. ripe. Not even a passion. Motivation is generated under competition, and hope and dreams are generated under adversity. Without some pressure, just sit back and wait. If you don't give yourself a way back, you know you can only move forward. The terrible thing about happiness is that it lets you know you have something to lose, and the beginning of having is the beginning of pain. But the pursuit of all these dreams must also know their own passion. Although competition is an encouragement, many times competition also makes them lose their focus. Knowing that competition is just the spice, the most important thing is to keep working hard and focus on what you are doing.
Regarding the enemy, many times the enemy is also a friend. The more I grow up, the more I realize that there are no enemies in the world, and there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome or things that must be fought. It is rare and precious to meet such an enemy-like friend.
About life, some people think like james, some people think like niki. There is a kind of happiness that is accumulated over a long period of time, but the water flows. Even if it is ordinary and simple, the final result is thick and precipitation. But some happiness is passion, you can go to countless women, spend a lot of money, but you still need time to fill the hollow in your heart, or continue to stimulate with continuous fleeting happiness.

Rush quotes

  • [last lines]

    Niki Lauda: Of course he didn't listen to me. For James, one world title was enough. He had proved what he needed to prove. To himself and anyone who doubted him. And two years later, he retired. When I saw him next in London, seven years later, me as a champion again, him as broadcaster, he was barefoot on a bicycle with a flat tire, still living each day like his last. When I heard he died age 45 of a heart attack, I wasn't surprised. I was just sad. People always think of us as rivals but he was among the very few I liked and even fewer that I respected. He remains the only person I envied.

    Niki Lauda: Twenty five drivers start every season in Formula One, and each year two of us die. What kind of person does a job like this? Not normal men, for sure. Rebels, lunatics, dreamers. People who are that desperate to make a mark, and are prepared to die trying. My name is Niki Lauda, and racing people know me for two things. The first is my rivalry with him.

    [James Hunt]

    Niki Lauda: I don't know why it became such a big thing. We were just drivers busting each other's balls. To me this is perfectly normal, but other people saw in differently. That whatever it was between us went deeper. The other thing I'm remembered for is what happened on 1st August 1976, when I was chasing him like an asshole...
