The starting point can only represent the beginning, not the result ​​

Wang Xiaowei is a Dalian girl. She started piano lessons at the age of 7. The dream is to become a pianist. However, one day, she suddenly found that her palms were smaller than those of other piano students. Know that slender fingers allow players more flexibility to switch between keys; while wider palms allow them to control more of the key surface area. This is what a great pianist needs. And Wang Xiaowei's next experience seems to prove this point, although he has paid more sweat than others, but one to complex melody conversion, due to the lack of palm control range. She always slows down half a beat. The flowing rhythm was disrupted by this very brief silence. Looking at the unsatisfactory palm, she wanted to cry without tears. In desperation, she stretched out her feet and shook under the keys, how she hoped this action would make up for the jarring pause. Seeing that she was anxious to get angry, her mother smiled and comforted: "Hey, my daughter's 'hands and feet, one heart's play' is not bad." ​​

Although my mother's words were joking, it gave her inspiration: Yes, if there is a musical instrument that uses both hands and feet. Has the troublesome problem been solved? She started to re-examine herself, she was going to say goodbye to sadness. Keep practicing the piano. Because she believes that when she encounters this kind of instrument one day, she needs good musical literacy as a foundation. Finally one day, a musical instrument called "harpsichord" passed her sight. This is a nascent non-mainstream instrument. Unlike piano performance, it can be used with both hands and feet. When playing, the two hands have their own division of labor, and the two feet need to cooperate with the hands to step on the pedal, so it is also very difficult, and there are few practitioners. "What, this is specially made for my 'hands and feet, one heart's play'!" she exclaimed. ​​ Since then, Wang Xiaowei has devoted himself to the practice of harpsichord. Slowly, she made a name for herself in the harpsichord industry. In 2008, she and Wang Xiaohai formed the "Nine Moon Miracles" group and won the annual championship of CCTV Avenue of Stars in one fell swoop. Since then, she has become famous. In 2009, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the National Day, she brought the double row keys to the Vienna Golden Hall, and the dance-like performance of the song "Red Memory" stunned four people. This time, she actually has international fame.

​​ People say she is lucky. The first person to come into contact with the instrument, the harpsichord. She smiled lightly: Maybe. In fact, my real luck is the calmness in my heart when I face the natural hand. Because of this calmness, I did not despair and began to examine myself. And trying to find a solution, that's my real luck. ​​

Coincidentally, do you know who is the fastest runner in the world today? By the way, Bolt! In 2008, the Jamaican "Lightning" broke three consecutive world records in Kingston, New York and Beijing. In the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, Bolt's performance was even more shocking. He ran 9.58 seconds, increasing his world record in the "Bird's Nest" by 0.11 seconds. You know, from 10 seconds 58 to 9 seconds 58, although only 1 second, it took human beings a full 100 years. The most difficult 0.2 seconds, Bolt only took a year. ​​ Some people may disagree: what is this! Bolt is physically fit and explosive, and is a natural sprinter. With such a good foundation, who can't? ​​ Yes, people's physical qualities are different, so choose the project that suits your own characteristics. Build an advantage right from the start. This is indeed more beneficial to the better development of athletes in the future. But I want to say that in the 100-meter sport, Bolt's quality is not good, and the starting point is not good. How do you feel?

​​ Bolt came from a poor family. In Jamaica, the only way for the poor to escape poverty is to sprint, a country rich in sprint champions. However, when the father hopes to send little Bolt to the sports school. The coach shook his head like a rattle: "This kid is not fit for sprinting!" "Look, he's just over 1.9 meters tall, isn't it enough?" The father was at a loss. The coach smiled: "If he is tall, he will have a high center of gravity, and he will not be able to start. He is not stable when running. Besides, his limbs are too long, the frequency of swinging is low, and his body coordination is also poor, so it is not easy to achieve results; besides, he is also a little older at this age. Let’s practice volleyball or basketball instead.” In the end, the kind coach reluctantly agreed to stay and try. ​​ He is tall, has a long arm, and is old. At the first 100 meters, Bolt seems to be born with deficiencies, and he lost to other athletes at the "starting point". However, he is not disappointed: the center of gravity is high. Just work hard on your legs; your arms are long. He bends as much as he can when accelerating the swing, increasing the frequency by "shortening" the length of his upper body... On the track, he sweats...

​​ Heaven rewards hard work! Diligent practice allowed Bolt to run away from the "congenital deficiency" and catch up from the starting point behind: Although the weak starting caused by the high center of gravity often made him lag behind the opponent at the beginning, with strong leg strength, he reached the middle. Later, the opponents were left behind by him one by one; the upper limbs that were too bent. It made his running posture seem restrained and clumsy, but it greatly increased the frequency of arm swings. finally. In 2008, like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, he began his unstoppable domination of the world sprinting arena. ​​ Now, do you still think that Bolt's success depends on a higher-than-average starting point? On the contrary, in the realm of the sprinting world, compared to many high-quality athletes, his starting point is very bad! actually. in daily study and life. Same as family, self and social factors. Perhaps in many ways we have lost to the people around us and cannot stand on the same starting line with them. In the face of this bad starting point, as long as we choose not to complain like crazy and give up with "self-knowledge", but to accept it calmly and actively seek ways to improve and make breakthroughs, then you can be as successful as Bolt! ​​ In fact, in life, the starting point of many things is not determined by our will. And a bad start doesn't mean a bad future. What you should learn is to accept it calmly. Only in this way can you correctly understand and evaluate yourself, and then, like Wang Xiaowei and Bolt, discover and break through yourself, and win a broader future for yourself!
