Beijing, April 16 (Xinhua) -- She is the winner of the Beijing Winter Olympics 2 gold and 1 silver, and the "frog princess" who loves to eat leeks, but tonight she surprised everyone again with a different and wonderful other side. At the "China Ice and Snow Night" party held on the evening of the 16th, the much-anticipated Gu Ailing appeared in a cheerful and cute, youthful way.
She played a beautiful melody on the black and white piano keys with ten flexible fingers, and interpreted "Confident Youth" with a natural and generous speech like a friend's heart. Just as she expressed her feelings in her words, based on love to gain self-confidence, because of self-confidence so beautiful, all vigorous life, should live vigorously.
Gu Ailing said: "Self-confidence can be learned. For Gu Ailing, skiing is the source of her confidence: "Through skiing I found friendship, through skiing I found confidence, not through looks." 」 ”

Remember that in the final of the freestyle ski women's big jump at the Beijing Winter Olympics this year, Gu Ailing jumped the 1620 super difficulty for the first time in the final jump. Gu Ailing revealed that in fact, the night before the game, she and her mother discussed that she would not do this action.
But after the second jump was completed, Gu Ailing decided to challenge herself: "I already knew I was going to challenge, because since I was 9 years old, my goal has always been the same. I have always wanted more Chinese teenagers, especially girls, to contact and fall in love with ice and snow sports, find self-confidence through sports, break their boundaries, and become the best version of themselves. ”
Fortunately, Gu Ailing completed the 1620 challenge perfectly and pocketed the gold medal of the project. "When I did this 1620 movement, it was the most beautiful and confident moment in my life. By skiing, I became the best version of myself. I found my platform, my way, to let more people know about this movement. ”

For how to improve self-confidence, Gu Ailing also gave his own answer. She believes that you need to set yourself some goals first, and then find a way to complete it. "'Having control over our own lives' gives us especially strength. So for young people, my only and biggest advice is to go out and exercise. You can run, you can ski, you can swim, you can play basketball. ”
At the scene of the party, some children asked Gu Ailing: "What is the most precious quality in your heart?" Gu Ailing replied without hesitation: "The most precious quality is self-confidence." ”
Self-confidence is not arrogance, nor is it self-belief in perfection. Instead, like Gu Ailing, he did his best for what he loved and broke the boundaries. Whether you succeed in the end or not, the moment of breakthrough may be the most confident moment in life. (End)
