What impressed me most about the Olympic Games was the competition for the last gold medal in women's weightlifting. When my opponent, a Dutch woman Hercules, suddenly increased her weight to 147.5 kg, I felt that the China team members might not make it. Unexpectedly, she succeeded. When the weight increased to 165 kg, I saw that our contestant's expression was not easy. I almost felt that she was asking herself, "Can I do it?" Can I get up? " However, she went up and succeeded. The moment I lifted it, I understood what a miracle was. I saw the tears in the corner of her eyes, which was a person's touch when he saw that he had surpassed himself. Everyone around me was cheering, but I didn't move-I was deeply moved. How did you win the gold medal? Every gold medal is won by surpassing others and yourself. Isn't the purpose of the Olympic Games "faster, higher and stronger"? The word "Geng" expresses the spirit that human beings have been pursuing for thousands of years and will continue to pursue forever-surpassing themselves and exceeding the limit.
Actually, it's more than just exercise. Human society is progressing by this spirit of continuous transcendence. Only by overcoming self-fear can human beings learn to use fire; Copernicus overcame his fear and hesitation and dared to declare that the earth was not the center of the universe.
Perhaps even so, it still does not cover all the contents of this spirit. It is impossible for world champions and great geniuses to surpass themselves. Look at the ordinary little people around us, and they have the same brilliant brilliance. Li Shifu in "Happy Minibus", his wife was seriously ill and bedridden at home, twice attempted suicide, and a family of three lived a poor and difficult life in a small and humid bungalow. However, Li Shifu has brought endless joy to every passenger. The Allegro book he compiled can be compared with the program in the Spring Festival Evening. Without a strong spirit of self-transcendence, he may lose confidence and let himself go like some people. But now, he faces life with a superman smile. Ordinary people can also be great, because ordinary people also have the spirit of surpassing themselves.
Most of us, due to the limitation of innate ability, will not become great men, but we should live every day with the spirit of surpassing ourselves and grasp every day well. Even if we don't win the gold medal, we can still win a brilliant life for ourselves.
