Round Table School Season 5: Deng Yaping's Warrior Personality Philosophy

Some people are born soldiers. Deng Yaping is such a person.

People talk hard, have few expressions, and are quick-thinking and healthy. Deng Yaping is probably like this on the battlefield.

Deng Yaping's Fighting Personality

Tao: There is a kind of talent that is physical, but when your game is at an advanced level, there is a kind of talent that is psychological, that is, there is only a few millimeters gap between them. I think this is just like we must be afraid.

Deng Yaping: There must be. We call it psychological quality. When I was young, it was difficult to choose a village for sports competitions. It is difficult to choose objectively in psychological quality. No one can see your heart or your will. After playing a game, some athletes are nervous and some are crazy. The bigger the venue, the more excited he is. I belong to the latter, and the more people I belong to, the more excited I am. I am not afraid of competition. I like competition, but many girls are afraid of it. I'm not so excited when no one is looking at me.

Deng Yaping: When I was a child, it was difficult for an enlightenment coach to see the essence of children. This is nature and talent. Children have good psychological quality. He is good at fighting tough battles and dares to go up and down. He dares to go up. He may not play the ball very well, but sometimes when everyone is uncomfortable, he says I'll play, and he will be strong. I think this is the most important thing. For top athletes, what we actually look at is the final mentality, that is, your psychological quality. There is not much difference between us.

Any competition, any confrontation, as long as it is anything between two living beings, is a psychological contest.

Guayaquil by Borges tells the story of an undercurrent contest between two scholars and two masters. Obviously, they are communicating with each other in language, but it is actually a psychological contest. The article wrote: "If one person overwhelms another person, it is because he has stronger will, not because he is eloquent." "Language, language, language. Shakespeare, an unparalleled master of language, despised language. ..... the weight of language is not as heavy as that of people. " All competitions in the world are the same.

Competitive games are psychological games, and life is full of psychological games. The biggest failure of people living in the world is psychological failure. Failure makes the psychological level stay on the paper level of "shame". If people are closest to death, it is very dangerous to stay in this state for a long time. Of all human emotions, fear is the most serious and deadly, and anxiety is fear. Once the fear occurs, everything falls apart.

A person like Deng Yaping is a combative personality or a competitive personality. This is not cultivated, it is born.

Personality is basically innate, or acquired (I called it "acquired" in the early days), and rarely changes in the later stages. Some people simply can't adapt to this competitive life. That's who I am. When I was a child, I heard from the PE teacher that there were still two weeks to take the 800-meter exam, and I began to have stomach trouble that day.

Personally, I think psychological quality can't be exercised. Besides being born, there are only habits and adaptations. If you put yourself in a certain (uncomfortable) environment every day, habits and adaptation are already a change of personality-if you don't die-from a sheep to a wolf, and there are countless random factors that even make you return to your original shape every second.

How to overcome "purposeful trembling" and how to avoid wanting to win too much?

Deng Yaping: How to control ourselves and make ourselves less nervous? Just like us athletes, we don't want to win the Olympic champion. The purpose of our training since childhood is to win the Olympic champion. But if you really want to go, you won't get it if you think about it there. The hard part is that I pursue this goal every day. I can't think about it yet, I have to put it down. It's hard to do. There is still a way. This method is to focus on your every process. For example, like me, I will focus on playing every beat, every ball, every game and every field.

As Ma Weidou said, this cannot be taught. Just like follow focus's defects, obsessive-compulsive disorder, fear of heights and stuttering, people can't control their nervous system. Deng's method is to let us concentrate on action, but it is extremely difficult, that is, to forget ourselves and our previous goals.

About the ultimate experience

Wendu Tao: At this time, it seems that the whole world revolves around you, as if everything is under your control. It has several characteristics. Self-evaluation disappears, self-evaluation disappears. When you speak, there is a self-evaluation in your mind. The other is the loss of sense of time. Some feel that time has slowed down, while others feel that time has accelerated. He has entered this state. Do you have this kind? Even if you play, how to play will naturally have a certain rhythm for you to step on, like a god. Just like writing, if you write well, your mind will flow, but you won't hesitate. It was a smooth hand, as if God were holding your hand. At that time, the feeling of imposing manner was like a rainbow. Was it that high?

Deng Yaping: No, table tennis is actually a very peaceful event. Our minds are very calm. We should always observe our opponents, including the changes in our skills and tactics. Never. Hey. I'm sober, for example, with the help of god and feeling, but actually ordinary people are practicing. You must practice to a certain extent before you can do something out of line. After a certain degree, let it all go, and it doesn't matter. I had such an experience. I remember that it was the Asian Games in 1990 ... and a ball was hit and hit, and I suddenly felt it. How does it feel? You hit it, I'll guard against you wherever you hit it. That's the feeling, but you don't know where it came from, but it's useless to call anywhere. I defend all this for you, and people will suddenly be like gods. I feel like a Hercules. No matter where you play, I will bring it to you. Anyway, I can handle it. That's the feeling. Because of your usual fatigue. After that, you are extremely confident in yourself. You have no doubt. He just can't beat me.

This is the "oil seller" pouring oil and "Baoding relieving cattle". At this time, it is the realm of "no self" that people are absolutely sure and have no doubt that they are within the scope and can be completely controlled, that is, the unity of man and sword and the unity of man and nature. In fact, this kind of experience has been experienced by almost everyone in life. The simplest example is riding a bike.

The so-called genius, the so-called "one hand of God", is a certain degree of proficiency, that is, the ability to concentrate and have no distractions. The younger you are, or the more pure you are, the easier it is to get the experience of "oneness with God". Quiet personality.

Wen Tutao's perfectionism obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Wendu Tao: One of my original shortcomings was that I was afraid of regret and was not allowed to make mistakes. Then one percent of the mistakes brought me this kind of pain, which exceeded 99 percent of my success. It's just that it's easy to get upset, such as saying something wrong on stage. Alas, my earliest time was about a week, and I couldn't figure it out and thought about it day and night. Let me ask you, when the famous you lost to He Zhili, it took you several days to get out of that depressed mood. How long did it take you to digest this emotion?

Deng Yaping repeated a specific detail, and then said, I exhausted all methods, and finally I couldn't do anything. I lost. Dou asked her if she could sleep at night, because China discussed too much at that time. She said that it was quite calm at first. If you lose a game, who won't? Anyway, I thought I tried my best, but it turned out that this was not the case. It's not that simple. Dou asked her how to spend it. She said that athletes would watch the game very calmly. I didn't play my level and lost. I really want to find a lot of my own problems, but this game doesn't mean that I didn't play my level and try my best, but that I did everything I should do. I tried my best. She really played better than me that day. I think I can face it calmly.

Wendu Tao can't get a solution from Deng Yaping. First of all, he asked the wrong question. Deng never felt depressed, and activists never felt depressed. Because Tao is a typical literati, born sentimental, emotional, complex and thoughtful, there are too many unnecessary distractions; Deng was a born soldier and general, and his thoughts were simple and direct. He is never bothered by problems, but only solves them through actions.

Wen Dutao's way of thinking is divergent. When he finds a main problem, he will pay attention to other related problems that are inextricably linked with the main problem, so the problem becomes more and more complicated. Deng's way of thinking is single point and straight line, and Deng is keen and direct. She grasped the most fundamental key point of the problem by instinct and intuition, found the problem and solved it, with no distractions. Her attention is more on action, and she doesn't pester those unnecessary mistakes to increase internal friction. This is the difference in their personality characteristics.

There are still differences between meditators and actors in the difficulty of giving up themselves. Meditation has too many opportunities for distractions to sneak into the brain, and action is easier to abandon distractions. Manual labor makes people meditate more easily than meditation. Some people say that meditation without the guidance of a master is dangerous.

"Hit the ball on the table!"

When a person does one thing to the extreme, he is close to the Tao.

Deng Yaping's extreme attention to the technical details in the specific actions when talking about the resumption; When it comes to Japanese player Ito Mikei's fancy serve, she means that she never leaves her family. No matter how many tricks she has, she just stares at the ball from her hand. When the opponent's mentality is erratic and he wants to win, he loses his decisiveness and can't handle the ball normally, that is, he loses; The variables and uncertainties of the game are full of the whole process. ...

This is like deconstructing life, every day, every next moment, everything that happens in life, everything.

The fighting philosophy summarized by Deng Yaping in Soldier's Ball Skills (or Games) can be applied to almost everything in life. Just like a martial arts expert, or a killer, he only talks about moves, how to hit the meat with one punch, how to find the target flaw, and go straight to the gate, and he will be killed with one blow.

From Avenue to Jane, Deng Yaping has the simplest philosophy of doing things. Just like Tao (and himself), because he thinks too much, he understands all the truths, but forgets the simplest ones.

From simple to complex, it needs diligence, persistence and hard work to achieve it; From complex to simple, we need spirituality, insight and letting go. Letting go of yourself is the hardest thing.
