Examples of smiling in the face of failure

Wu Minxia "conquers" the world with a smile

According to the past personality of Chinese athletes, if they do not win the gold medal, they are generally reluctant to be interviewed by reporters after the game. To the reporter's surprise, Wu Minxia, ??who has the delicate and elegant characteristics of a Shanghai girl, did not seem to be depressed at all about losing the gold medal. On the contrary, her sun-reddened face always had a natural and sweet smile. She hugged her opponent very generously after the game and extended her sincere congratulations to him. Judging from her personal appearance, temperament and cuteness, Wu Minxia is not inferior to Guo Jingjing.

After the game, Wu Minxia made a pertinent self-evaluation. She believed that she had performed normally, while her opponent had performed beyond her level, so it was quite normal for her opponent to win the gold medal. She had nothing to regret or blame herself for. . In fact, Wu Minxia had faced off against Hartley as early as the 2001 World Championships, and her ranking at that time was exactly the same as this time?

What most earned Wu Minxia the respect of her opponents was that at the post-match press conference, a group of Canadian reporters turned the press conference attended by the gold, silver and bronze medalists into Hartley's personal press conference, taking turns to pay tribute to the Canada's "national heroes" asked questions and congratulated her. They even asked Hartley to shout out her goal of winning gold in the Beijing Olympics. Hartley was also very excited and eloquent, singing a "one-man show", completely leaving Wu Minxia and the bronze medalist Fischer of Germany aside.

In the end, even the Canadian reporter felt embarrassed and asked Wu Minxia if she thought Hartley's victory was due to the host country and that the referee was "biased" in scoring. Unexpectedly, Wu Minxia behaved very magnanimously, believing that the referee enforced the law fairly, and Hartley's victory was a complete reflection of her strength, and she deserved the gold medal. After Hartley listened, she quickly thanked Wu Minxia. Canadian reporters also gave thumbs up for Wu Minxia's eloquence and magnanimity.

The Chinese team implements "profit transfer" at the right time

At present, there is a vague phenomenon of "hostility" to Chinese sports in the international sports world. The main reason is that Chinese sports are too strong and like to engage in many advantageous projects. In the "Grand Slam", not only do you get all the gold medals, but sometimes you don't even let others get a medal. Such behavior will naturally cause complaints and dissatisfaction from your opponents. It should be said that if the Chinese diving team is serious, it is not impossible to win all the diving gold medals, but this will bring more negative effects. Therefore, the Chinese diving team must strategically and consciously adjust and "give profits" appropriately, and finally achieve a better result. to protect one's own purpose.

It is worth mentioning that Canada is hosting the World Championships again after hosting the Olympic Games in 1976. For this reason, the chairman of the organizing committee, FINA, once announced the cancellation of Montreal's hosting. He drank bullets and committed suicide after failing to qualify, "death as a warning", which really paid a huge price. Although Canada was the host of the Montreal Olympics in 1976, its poor competitive performance made them the only Olympic host country in history that did not win a gold medal. In addition, the Canadian swimming team failed to win any gold in last year's Athens Olympics, and Canada's domestic thirst for gold medals in this World Championships is very urgent. At this World Championships, the Canadian team's gold medal hopes are largely pinned on the diving event. If you can't even "sympathize" with others, it's really unkind.

Thai businessman Shriver is a man of the hour in the business world with billions of assets. A financial crisis in 1997 made him bankrupt. Faced with failure, he only said: "Great! You can start over again!" He calmly walked into the ranks of street vendors to sell sandwiches. A year later, he made a comeback.

Failure is the crucible of life. It can roast people to death, or it can make them strong and confident.

Failure is a beautiful landscape and a rose that has endured premature death. Although the orchards hit by the typhoon are helpless, they have infinite fragrance. Failure is like a maple leaf. Although it is swept away by the autumn wind, it is dyed with passion. Failure is like mountains and turbulent waves on the road to success. Only by walking through the ridges can you reach the other side of success.

When we grow old, we can say to our descendants: "We laughed at our failures."
