Regret is worthy of applause, not only Yu sheng knotted

Perhaps no "mistake" has garnered as much attention and applause – Yusheng Yuxing challenged Axel to jump around at the Beijing Winter Olympics and fell on the ice. No one has ever done this in an official game before. As the world's top figure skater, Yu yu chose to challenge the limits of human figure skating instead of competing for one more medal on what might be his last chance to win the Winter Olympics. He failed with the challenge of extreme movement; with regard to the challenge of the self, he succeeded.

The Winter Olympics is a stage for challengers, where countless people choose to challenge the limits of human beings and challenge the limits of themselves. In the past two days, people have seen many stories of "not accepting defeat". But "not accepting defeat" does not mean "will not lose", some people challenge successfully, but more people did not succeed on the way to the challenge - just in the field where Gu Ailing won the championship, Tess Ludd, who competed on the same stage, jumped out of the 1620-degree action in the first round, but finally missed the gold medal. At that moment, she couldn't help but cry, while champion Gu Ailing and third-place Matilde Grimor walked up to Tess, one holding her shoulder and the other gently patting her back. On the Internet, people "like" their friendship and pay high tribute to the "runner-up" Tess. Whether it is Yusei or Tess, their challenges have not created miracles, but unsuccessful struggles have made miracles more precious, and their efforts themselves are golden ladders leading to miracles, to the limits, to champions.

Having hosted two Olympic Games and experienced countless major sporting events, we are getting used to appreciating this "failure". Skier Gong Naiying missed the final, from 2020, she recorded her "Countdown to the Winter Olympics" on Weibo, after the game she said that "as long as she can stand on the field, it will be very good"; Chinese Taipei's Li Weiyi participated in the alpine skiing women's slalom competition, the last one on the field she fell shortly after she set off, she did not give up, according to the regulations to climb back to the fall to continue the game, people cheered for her tenacity, even if she was already at the end of the ranking... The mentality is constantly changing, the pattern is gradually opening, and people are facing the players and the sports itself with a more inclusive mentality.

Perhaps, this mentality is also constantly delaying and affecting the lives of every ordinary person. We may not be pushing the limits like those sports, but every attempt and every experience in life is the same as athletes. Success and failure are twins on the road to challenge, and people love the success of the challenger and should respect the failure of the challenger.

Challenging the unknown is a respectable feat in itself, and its significance is not limited to the success or failure of the outcome. This challenge, of course, is not limited to sports. Whether it is exploring unknown areas of knowledge or finding new business models, it is the same "challenge" as competitive sports, and there are "challengers" like athletes.

Looking back at history, we can see the revolutionary martyrs who sought the road in modern China, the builders who explored the mode of development in the period of socialist construction, and the tide that dared to embrace the market economy at the beginning of reform and opening up; looking at the present, we can see the pioneers of the "no man's land" of innovation, the attackers of the "deep-water area" of reform, and the "retrograde" who are obligated in the face of dangers at critical moments. Challenges are big or small, everywhere, and countless people have to face the unknown. But true courage always comes from facing difficulties, exploring the unknown, and self-transcendence. Some people succeed in this process, and some people fail, but as long as they go in the ideal direction, they will constitute a magnificent epic that deserves to be repeatedly praised.

As the saying goes, "Failure is the mother of success." All along, people have been somewhat "easy to know and difficult to do" in this sentence; the reference to "tolerance to failure" has also been for many years, but the process of turning from concept to practice has always had many twists and turns. The "failed challengers" that appeared from time to time at the Winter Olympics, those scenes that were not lacking in admiration, once again gave us inspiration.

In fact, although failure is a necessary place on the road to success, not all failures lead to success, and its value is not just a "stepping stone" to success. We respect the failures and losers, respect their inexhaustible spirit of challenge in the process of trying, and the ideological tenacity to fight against difficulties to the end. Learning to appreciate the beautiful scenery during the road climbing process, discovering the hidden meaning and value of the process, and feeling the beauty of exploration and experimentation without overemphasizing a simple "result" is the proper meaning of our understanding and respect for failure.

Learning to applaud the failures of challengers is a habit that is maturing in openness and innovation. Recognize the value of the challenge itself, regardless of success or failure, cheer for the challenge, because it is these pioneers who dare to challenge us to build a road to the future and to a better future.
