My most unforgettable quote is: "Don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose." The source of this sentence is "The Book of Shang Jun: The Law of War" in the Warring States Period. The original sentence is "The king's soldiers win without arrogance and lose without resentment." Later it was said that "don't be arrogant when you win, don't be discouraged when you lose", which means don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose. When I really realized its profound meaning, it was after that incident -

It was a Saturday afternoon, I went to a small Go class, and I played chess with Song Qingyu. The rule was five Win three games.

We spread out the chessboard and the battle began. As soon as the game started, I clearly had the advantage. I used various tricks to kill him until he had no way to escape, and he was retreating steadily. By the middle of the game, he was clearly defeated and could not turn the tide. , had no choice but to throw in the towel and admit defeat. The same happened in the second set. I won two sets in a row.

The third set started, and I clearly showed arrogance on my face. Looking at my opponent’s angry look, I felt so happy. I was so proud that I didn’t take my opponent seriously. I no longer looked like The first two games were the same. After careful consideration, I just went down without thinking. I made bad moves, faint moves, and random moves one after another. My territory was full of flaws. He went straight to Huanglong Mansion and was defeated miserably. In the fourth game, I was unconvinced and greedily took advantage of the opponent's moves. But maybe I was eager to win and acted too hastily, so I lost again. At this time, a famous saying echoed in my mind, "Don't be arrogant when you win, don't be discouraged when you lose." You can't take it lightly if you have won once.

The fifth set began, which was the deciding set. So, I kept my mind calm, thought of a good strategy, and attacked the opponent purposefully. From the beginning to the middle of the game, everyone was evenly matched. I used Shuangfeiyan to shackle his chess tendons, causing him to admit defeat. In the end, I defeated him three to two.

Although I won this game, I realized that he and I were actually on the same level. As long as I made a slight mistake, I would lose to the opponent. At the same time, I have a deeper understanding of the meaning of "Don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose." This is true for playing chess, and this should be true for learning.
