One year ago, one of the TV programs that I watched called 东方之子was about one of the diving athletes in China's National Team whose name is Hujia, the time that he has to perform during the diving process is only one second, yet, in order to make a perfect performance during this one second, he had been practicing for 16 years till he got his first Olympic gold medal.
One second! What a short time as compared with 16 years of one's golden life. And not just Hujia, if you go and take a look at all those athletics, you know that boundless of them had devoted most of their life to run maybe just one second faster, to jump maybe just centimeters higher or to raise maybe just one kilograms heavier!I don't know how you will define the Olympic spirit, but to me, the dedication to perfectness, to devotion to being stronger, the persistence to breaking limit and the passion to develop our human's potentiality, that's what I have learned all through them.
And then when I turn back to observe my life, I would ask myself what can I do to make it better, what can I do to so that I can love others more, what can I do so that my efficiency would grow one percent higher, what can I do so that I may make this world more beautiful, what can I do so that I can statistic the audiences who care about me and loved me for all these years.
The Olympic spirit is, actually, the challenge towards life, and the exhibiting of its beautifulness!!!
