Those figure skaters I know how hard it is to keep making greater achievements in life and career. In my university, some students got the National Scholarship because they ranked very high in their majors for the first year. But very few managed to keep their honourable places up there and get the scholarship four years in a row. Some of my friends set up fabulous and promising long-term plans covering the whole university period, but few kept to the plans. Most of us got boosted at first by our huge and bright visions but later tossed our decisions aside silently. So we kept pacing around within our little circles of the boring and even bleak present. How come we never noticed that? But there are many figure skaters who give me a sense of their inspiring lifestyles through their performances in competitions. They are the kind of people who would achieve what they promise. They are like magical in a real sense because they make wishes and the wishes come true. To put it in a more direct way, I watched a skater compete and reaped a gold medal, I thought she was going to win the next game just as well, and it turned out exactly the way I expected. We audience see the skaters win once, and we think it natural for them to win the following games as if they were born champions. But they can never be like that. Eteri once said in an interview that people could never imagine how hardworking Zhenya had been in order to keep her own sky-high records in figure skating. A person becoming better and better in anyway should not be taken for granted, because it must have cost the person much energy and time. In this sense, it is no less than a miracle for a skater to break his or her records again and again, especially when s/he was already a gold-medalist in the debut, leaving everybody else far behind. How can there be anything more impelling than this incessant self-transcendence? I cannot help marvelling at those skaters' perseverance, firmness and iron will.
