The world is full of all kinds of dreams, such as Eddie, his dream is more unique, and he hopes to one day participate in the Olympics.
Everything needs a method, and participating in the Olympic Games is no exception. It needs the support of methodology. After learning about Eddie's story, I have three methodological conclusions for participating in the Olympic Games - the right time and place.
01
Time of day - learn to be opportunistic
Eddie's dream since he was a child was to participate in the Olympic Games. For this reason, he made a lot of attempts, such as weightlifting, javelin, pole vault, etc. It is a pity that Eddie failed to achieve even a little success in these events. Not to mention participating in the Olympics, Eddie's athletic ability can't even match his own playmates.
Later, Eddie saw skiers in training at the ski resort, so he had an epiphany, and in order to participate in the Olympics, he began to move to the Winter Olympics.
Eddie's talent in skiing is stronger than other sports. Since he regarded the Winter Olympics as his goal, Eddie has gradually begun to emerge in various small skiing competitions. It's a pity that when Eddie thought he was ready to represent Britain in the 1988 Winter Olympics, the president of the Olympic Committee told him bluntly: You are not the material, we will not choose you.
What does it feel like to be thrown cold water so directly by someone? But just when Eddie was disheartened, he found a "silver ray" - the British Winter Olympic team has never had a ski jumper, and the UK's performance in this sport is basically blank. , this is definitely the best chance for Eddie to participate in the Winter Olympics. So Eddie changed strategy again and started practicing ski jumping. After Eddie represented Great Britain at the World Championships in 1987, his coach Bronson advised him to practice for another four years before competing at the next Winter Olympics with better form and results.
Eddie rejected the coach's suggestion that he want to participate in the 1988 Winter Olympics, and it turned out that Eddie's decision was right. He became the first ski jumper in British history to participate in the Winter Olympics and went down in history.
There are many ways to be successful, and there are many ways to participate in an Olympic Games. If you just stubbornly follow one road to the end, you may break your head and end up with nothing.
If Eddie insists on skiing to qualify for the Winter Olympics, I am afraid that he will not be able to get sponsorship and realize his dream in this life; there are too many talented people, if Eddie does not choose such an unpopular event as ski jumping, reduce Competing, participating in the Winter Olympics is simply a dream for him; if Eddie waits another four years, by that time, maybe there is a better ski jumper in the UK than him. It's even more distant for him.
Therefore, "scheming" is very important, seize the opportunity boldly, and avoid extracurricular problems. How to judge the situation and opportunistically is one of the key methods to achieve success, which is called the time of day.
02
Geographical location - you have a good life
Knowing how to be opportunistic is not enough for the dream of participating in the Olympic Games. On the way of Eddie's dream, without the support of his mother and the guidance of Coach Bronson, when he went to Germany for training alone, he would not have been taken in by the owner of the ski resort restaurant. He can't be the Eddie the Eagle will be in the future.
The mother, the coach, and the proprietress are all nobles in Eddie's life. Especially Eddie's mother, who has given 100% support to Eddie's distant Olympic dream since he was a child. She gave Eddie a cookie box to hold the glasses that Eddie broke in pursuit of his dream; when Eddie was disheartened and wanted to give up skiing, she worriedly asked: Eddie, do you really want to give up? When Eddie wanted to pursue his dream, he gave him all the savings in the family, and even secretly helped him drive away the buns used by his father for work; when Eddie was uneasy, he kept comforting on the phone; Eddie stood tightly in front of the TV during the game, threatening her husband who wanted to change the channel: If you dare to change the channel, I will break your neck.
On the way to participate in the Olympic Games, even though there are many objections, there are still people who have always given Eddie material, spiritual and technical support. These are Eddie's luck, and no amount of talent and hard work will be enough without the support of someone. No one can truly be independent. After all, the Olympic Games also need sponsorship and support, don't they?
Fortunately, to have the help of nobles is a good life, and it is a geographical advantage.
03
People and - hold on, you "idiot"
Participating in the Olympics is a long, long dream for Eddie. He persisted from the age of six or seven to the age of twenty-six or seven. Even though he changed his way to the Olympics countless times, Eddie never gave up on the goal of participating in the Olympics. Eddie has deep myopia and lacks professional training. He hardly has any qualifications to participate in the Olympic Games. How many people laughed at him and kept saying in his ear: You are not an athlete! Amid these denials, Eddie persevered, of course there would be pain and inner struggle, but at least he was determined. This is the same as losing weight. How many people can persist until the day they reach their goals? In fact, your persistence is your ability.
Eddie's stubbornness makes him seem stupid, stupid to insist on something out of reach. But maybe Eddie was clear-headed, he insisted on putting in all the hard work until he finally qualified for the Winter Olympics, and his foolish persistence paid off.
It is far from enough to formulate a tricky strategy and gain the support of others. It is not enough to meet these external conditions. It is necessary to know how to internalize enthusiasm and cultivate determination. If there is "fire" in the eyes, it will be a matter of course.
When Eddie was determined to participate in the Olympics, he said lightly, but what he paid for it was his persistence. A fool in the eyes of others, persisted to the end. No amount of methodology is useless if Eddie doesn't follow through on his own.
Thinking of one thing with one mind, regardless of whether it is "stupid" to stick to the end, is a kind of harmony.
04
Eagle Eddie
Eddie made a funny spread of his wings at the Winter Olympics, which made him nicknamed "Eagle Eddie", but when he insisted on completing the ski jumping project successfully, "Eagle Eddie" Become an honorary title, no one dares to underestimate this dream chaser.
The film "Eagle Eddie" is adapted from a real story. It is very inspirational and passionate. In my judgment, this film deserves four and a half stars. One of the most impressive moments in the film is a remark to Eddie by the ski jumping champion Finn in the elevator.
My persistence, my dreams, all stem from my passion. If you work hard to this end, what you want to get is probably no longer winning or losing, but something higher than winning and losing.
It really corresponds to the words of Coubertin, the father of the Olympic Games: the important thing in the Olympic Games is not the victory but the participation, and the important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.
So, do you understand the methodology of participating in the Olympic Games? I hope that Eddie's story can give you some inspiration. On the way to pursue your dreams in the future, you can get your own time, place, people and people.
