"Baby, go practice!" Every day at 2 o'clock, my mother's voice will ring in my ears, and although this sentence comes from the mouth of how gentle and kind my mother is, I still feel like a bomb, "banging".
So, for a while, I was particularly afraid of the afternoon coming, I always felt that the afternoon was very painful, and I would find an excuse to leave after playing for a few minutes, and I had to admit that it was really cool to do so. Growing up, I thought the piano was boring and wanted to learn other instruments. However, if you can't learn two or three lessons, you will find it difficult and want to learn something else, but you will soon give up.
So, my mother only let me learn piano, and I wanted to learn something else? You can also wait for the piano to pass the tenth level! So, under my mother's high-pressure policy, every day at 2 p.m., I had to walk slowly to the piano room, sit down slowly, and then slowly open the lid, which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Especially every winter and summer vacation, major festivals, the city will hold a large competition, which makes my practice time is even more "worse", and such a long time can only practice one track over and over again, which is really annoying.
I don't know if it was unfortunate or lucky that something happened, and in the first round, I lost. Although it usually doesn't matter if I enter the rematch or not, I am still very unwilling. I am not willing, I am not willing to lose, I am not willing to be behind others. I often sit in front of the piano and think: Why don't you start working hard? But I can't fall because of this, I want to cheer up!" I don't play for a while, I play for a while, both to cheer up and change! I told myself to just play the piano and calm down, thinking: The last time you failed, it doesn't matter! Failure is the mother of success. When I think of practicing, I am excited and focused, and success will definitely belong to me!
Another race arrived as scheduled. It's still two o'clock in the afternoon every day, it's still the piano room. But, it's not the same for me! The moment I raised my hand, I suddenly felt different about the piano than before. Fingertips landed on the keys, playing the first note made me shudder, and I closed my eyes gently, as if I were in a rough sea, from tsunamis to waves, everything was so natural. After the song, my emotions for the piano poured out – love! Day after day, with my continuous efforts, the whole piece has been practiced by me.
On the day of the competition, I was confident that I would achieve satisfactory results, which made me shiver, not afraid, not nervous, but excited! It's up to me! I dragged my long dress up to the stage, sat down on a stool, straightened my clothes, raised a hand, and slowly fell...
The rough sea in the moonlight shimmered, and in a moment it became calm again, and a small boat came from a distance, bumping up and down in the aftermath, slowly sailing into the distance. Closing his hand, there was a moment of silence in the audience, and then there was thunderous applause! I was immersed in it...
This is the result of my efforts, and this applause belongs to me! Success belongs to me! In the crowd, I saw Mom! See her proud eyes! Outside the window, the birds stood on the big trees and sang happily, the breeze blew, the leaves on the trees nodded to me, and the wind chimes on the windows also jingled. I know that only by paying will you get rewards! "I'm going to practice!" This sentence does not need my mother to say to me every day, I will secretly remind myself in my heart, but also warn me: do not give up because of a failure, failure will only make me work harder, overcome difficulties and move forward courageously!
