L3-P1(......).......Smile at yourself

2019-04-27

 

I want to start my speech with one question to fellow members and welcome quests?
Have you ever said this words to yourself that "Oh, That is enough for me, It is my limitation"
I will spare my speech time 10 secon to you, please think it over, reflect your life that when did you say it.

 

Who do you think define  your limit?

I will tell you my little story
In general, I don't like playing computer games or something but there is one exception.
that is soccoer game^^ of cause
a few yeary ago,  I played very simple and basic mobile soccoer game when I have some free time like,,,in rest room or you know...
It was very simple soccer game but the opponent computer was so good.
 at the beginning  most of games I lose 0-3, 0-2, 0-1 or at least draw1-1, 2-2. It was neck and neck game.
I played and practiced a lot and I beat that notorious computer finally I began to win 2-1 than the score up to 3-0, 4-0 without lose a point.

But one day I happened to find out that the highest score of this game done by the other people was 15-0
How come someone got 15 points, is it possible?

once you know what is the highest record, you drive yourself more harder to get beyond of it.

I won the game not like 3-0.
My score rose rocket high like 10, 11 and even with the score of 10,  I was not satisfied with it. I pursued more of it.
I was strongly chasing to reach 15!, trying to get beyond of 15


At that moment!
Some kind of thunder hit me, strange awarness came to my mind two times.

 

"Wait a minute! What is it?

 

I was struggling to win this game and was very happy with 2 or 3 goals
but now I gain more than 10 scores but think this is not enough and try to reach higher"

Then I became to understand What is the purpose of Olympic games.
That is why human, keep recording the world best record of all kinds of sports games
once you know what is the highest record, you drive yourself more harder to get beyond of it.

 

Then the second awareness came to my mind

Okay,  this one is for sport then what about life? What about my life?

 

What was the best record of my life?
Who made it? Or who set it as the best record?    

Then I had reflected all of my life back
And I met the moment I still remember vividly.   
When I was in middle school, I thought myself the 1st in study.
It is impossible for me so just be within top 10 in my class, not in my school. maybe 5th. okay 5th is good enough.

The results? You can guess when the target was 5th, then results was most likely less than the target^^
The question I asked you at the beginning, I hope you are still with it

"Who do you think setting up your limit?"
Who confines yourself in certain kind of form or dream?
More straight forwardly, Who cut off your dream, target, your talent away?
It is you, you limit out yourself.

In other way around, if we change the direction of it
If you allowed yourself aim high, or dream big

be generous to yourself for aim high. trust and believe in yourself.
then you will see how wonderfully you are achieving the target and the
