After reading Sun Yue's blog ,I feel restless ,kind of motivated by her and Chinese women volleyball team .of course ,We have been motivated by Chinese women volleyball for many times ,probably this time the Olympics is held in Beijing ,the people of china become more absorbed in the game and have stronger passion than ever before .Meanwhile ,our people's patriotism have reach the summit ,we do not want our country to lose ,however , in my point of view .the Olympics is not all about wining the medals , Its real purpose is to keep all the countries together ,is to unite the world.
We must be aware of the intrinsic of the game ,so if we do our best but we failed ,we would be happy rather than burst in to tears ,if we have to burst in to tears ,let us have the tears of joy ,because it's a happy event ,it is supposed to bring people joy and excitement , not disappointed faces and regretful tears .only if we are failed , we would be very happy to take in the results ,because it's only a game .
I am writting this not intend to comfort anyone ,I want to convey a idea of how a iron-willed person face failure .Indeed , I can not agree with the saying "sunshine always comes after the storm "more ,it truly explain the ups and downs of our lives ,life is a cycle ,so do not be over reacted towards it ,have a healthy mental state ,and lead a peaceful life . Wish those who stressed by the failure in the Olympics will recover soon.
Best regards for all the athletes
