Eileen Gu, a magic happens in our daily life. Several months ago, I first noticed this pretty young athlete in a WeChat article. In the following weeks, her stories kept getting around me and I started to follow her stories more. About one month ago, vogue shared one article about her and her fear, which was really touching. Not to mention her numerous medals that recorded her success in the winter sport filed, I was most attracted by her attitude towards self-growth and emotion handling. She mentioned that she also had fear every time she stood in the high positions and try to finish her movements. Instead of getting panic or feeling bad about it, she is aware of the fear, accept this feeling and did her things accompanied by it. I thought this mindset made her really stronger. It’s ok to be afraid of something, and it’s ok to fail, the past won’t affect too much the present. This attitude, mindset or we call it, habit really help her in the world class games. When the athletes get the entrance into the winter Olympics, all of them are at the first-class level. Stable emotion status is one of the key elements to win. I am quite happy and admire to see Eileen lose at the very beginning of some competition, picked up in the following phases and performed even better than her average status at the end. She made the magic happen, which also showed the spirt and charm of Olympics.
