The 73-year-old Valenda decided to walk the tightrope for the last time as a farewell performance, and then announced his retirement. However, unlike before, he is steady and confident. He just made two moves on the wire rope, which was not difficult, so he fell off the wire rope of 10 meter and died on the spot.
Before this performance, he lost his former self-confidence and freedom. He kept telling himself that the performance was too important to fail, so he made the biggest mistake in life and died of failure!
After reading this story, I suddenly had an epiphany, and I remembered my impressive failure experience:
That was when I was still at school. At that time, I got good grades, and because of my warm and lively personality, I was very popular in my class and became a vice monitor.
I usually take the lead in announcing or organizing something in class. Because I have been doing this kind of thing, I feel that I have been trained for a long time and I am comfortable in whatever I do.
But what completely defeated me was a class meeting:
This is an important activity. Each class will organize a class meeting, and then the whole school will participate in the election. Excellent classes will also go to the district to compete, and I am obviously the only host.
Finally, after the unanimous decision of teachers and classmates, I also got my wish to be the host:
What a rare opportunity it is for me, not only to exercise myself well, but also to appear in front of so many people. What a glorious thing!
So during that time, I have been reciting the speech of the host, and almost all those papers were turned over by me at last, and I knew them by heart. I keep demonstrating and practicing for one thing: I must perform well this time and feel that I can't fail!
The final result "unexpectedly" failed!
Even before the game, I practiced in my own class. I lost my confidence and freedom. I care too much about success or failure this time. As soon as I stood on the stage, my mind went blank and my legs couldn't stop shaking. I was so nervous that I stammered and even felt breathless.
In the end, of course, it was replaced by an incompetent host. Isn't that what happens sometimes? The more you care, the more you lose.
Because I care too much about the matter itself, I ignore everything else. I am usually relaxed, confident and stressed on the stage, which even makes me slow in reaction and thinking. In this case, I can't even play normally.
In fact, is there really anything in the world that you must succeed and do, or you will die if you don't do it?
Does losing an opportunity mean that you will never turn over?
Why don't you stand up and do what you have to do and finally get it, but it's not? Then you can't get it!
Born to be human, you shouldn't always be killed by a stick! It should be tenacious resistance several times!
