Heart-Deng Yaping

Deng Yaping has been my idol since I was a teenager, because we have the same innate advantages and are both small. Small people are more environmentally friendly and flexible. Because of her, I also like playing table tennis, but the level is too poor to get on the table.

Her new book, Heart Force, has written her philosophy of life and benefited a lot.

She said that when she encountered difficulties, she never thought of giving up or thought that she could not do it, but tried to overcome it. She was eliminated by the provincial team and went to Zhengzhou team. They train in a bathhouse with only four tables. The players of this team were all rejected by the provincial team, but they had indomitable spirit and tried to beat the provincial team. At that time, the provincial team didn't want her, and she was not convinced. None of the remaining players can beat her, so why did they stay? So she trained hard until she played invincible and entered the national team.

When she made up her mind to become famous in table tennis, she began to seriously study how to improve her skills. You can't just rely on blood. Because she is short, others will definitely serve from side to side and bully her to sprint too hard. So she played with a 30-pound sandbag on her back. At that time, her weight was more than 60 kilograms. At the age of ten, she practiced with sandbags that weighed nearly half her own weight. When she took off the sandbag, she simply felt that she was carrying light achievement. She is as light as a swallow, so running back and forth is not a problem. Because of her congenital deficiency, she must be better than others, and she must have a style that others don't have, so her playing style is particularly strange. Until now, only she can play this skill.

She is always trying to solve problems and give full play to her advantages. When she made up her mind to learn English well for the work of the Olympic Committee, she was also very upset at first. She asked teachers and classmates but couldn't find a suitable method for her. Efforts are most distressing when there is no direction and no effect, and it will not be easy to persist. She finally found that her hearing was good, so she listened a lot, and as an excellent athlete, her imitation ability was particularly strong, so she understood that imitation was more suitable for her, and she learned quickly and had a sense of accomplishment.

In order to make progress, every time she finishes a game, she will come back at night to find out what she did well and what she didn't do well. This is a very important reason for her continuous progress. Most of us will die every day, so turning decades into one day is easy to be eliminated by society. It is easy for people to fall into their comfort zone. Growing up is a painful and happy thing, but most people give up happiness because of pain.

When she failed in the competition, she never looked for reasons other than herself. This view is too important! When most of us encounter something, we must look for external reasons. Most people are used to complaining and have no responsibility for other people's problems, which is the easiest, but they have not grown up for themselves. We can't change the external reasons. Only by finding reasons from ourselves can we learn and grow from failure and do better next time.

She believes that everyone can achieve great success. Most of us have not developed our potential. When she was studying languages in Cambridge, she watched a graduation ceremony in Cambridge, which was grand and the graduates were very proud. At that time, she was envious and thought that she might not be able to do it. But when she studied hard in Tsinghua University, she found that she could study. She thought she was the worst student in Tsinghua, but the more she studied, the more confident she became. A graduation ceremony in Cambridge left a deep impression on her, so she decided to go to Cambridge to study for a doctorate. People around her advised her to give up. As a celebrity, it will be a shame if she can't continue reading. She stuck to her idea, studied hard at Cambridge for five years, peeled off a layer of skin, and finally read it.

After reading so many cases that challenge her self-success, I think in Yaping's eyes, as long as she wants to do it, there should be nothing she can't do. Yaping can do whatever she wants, because she has a firm belief, constantly exerts her advantages, tries to find a way when she meets difficulties, and believes that she can do it. As long as we ordinary people have some of her characteristics, we should all be able to live a satisfactory and wonderful life.

Indeed, we must believe that we can do something as long as we don't give up and find a way when we encounter difficulties. When I was studying, what I hated most was Chinese class, and what I hated most was writing a composition. Because I was hit hard in junior high school, I was deeply impressed and kept reminding me of the composition that was laughed at by others. So I planted it in my heart. I can't write an article. But people change. I started to keep a diary because I fell in love in college. I still have a few diaries, and it's interesting to take them out occasionally. In recent years, I have learned to speak and read, and also formed the habit of writing. I wrote for more than a year and persisted for nearly 300 days. Suddenly my confidence in myself increased greatly. Ha, I can also write! What you practice deliberately will have unexpected results, and your self-confidence will become more and more sufficient with the results. I began to have a new dream of becoming a writer. I can travel around the world and write articles about my experiences in exchange for travel expenses and realize my dream of going to the world. So don't limit your life, work hard, the possibility of the future is unpredictable. Who knows? Do it!
