Near the place where he lived before, there is a jujube tree that is more than two thousand years old. Every year, it will follow the law of the four seasons, germinate, bloom, bear fruit, and then fall full of leaves in winter. For the ancient tree, I admire its vitality. After more than 2,000 years of ups and downs, he has made himself a "fairy man" in the mortal world. However, I am also curious, what is the power that keeps the ancient tree alive and full of vitality today?
The "Winter Olympics Documentary" column broadcast by BTV tells the story of volunteer Liu Yukun. Before this, I was not familiar with her, but after watching it, I realized that she was a former Olympic champion. She is disabled in both legs, and with the assistance of prosthetic limbs, she has stood at the top of the sport through her step-by-step efforts and persistence. After retiring, she found meaning in life through volunteering. The inconvenience of her legs caused her to encounter many challenges when performing volunteer activities, such as standing for long periods of time, climbing mountains, etc., but she still worked very hard. Now, she has formed her own roller hockey team to promote the Winter Olympics. She is a self-improvement fighter. The host who interviewed Liu Yukun said, "I sweat a lot, it's a shameful sweat.
I remember in a previous event, I listened to the short track speed skating Olympic champion Yang Yang's sharing. Whether they are athletes or engaged in other professions after retirement, they can always find the halo of self-improvement and hard work in them. These hard-working people are always breaking through their limitations and breaking the ice. Sometimes I wonder what is their motivation for lasting progress?
The movie "Facing the Giants" said that the trophy will eventually be dusted in the corner, and after ten years no one will remember you as the champion, winning should not be the main goal of effort. Different stages of life have different feelings about the meaning of hard work. Maybe the first pursuit is the result, and then later, I am more willing to focus on the process. But in any case, the effort endows the life with a spirit of upward growth, which leads the ontology to a new height of life. Self-improvement may be the innate nature of life in nature.
