Live in the shadow
well, I don’t think it’s a suitable title for what I want to talk abou today.
You must know Liu xiang, but do you know Shi Dongpeng? Have you think of him and his life? I always imagine how Shi lives his life in the shadow of Liu. Does he think that he can surpass someday? It’s not a good case to live in the shadow of some other people. When people celebrate for Liu, NO flower, applause, attention will pay to Shi. And this is Shi’s life.
Today, I read a piece of article 奔跑者 about Shi in 《环球企业家》. In the artile, I know more about him and his inner world. The article said that Shi want to use another meaning of stronger, bearing the "second" which is neglected, balance the troubling competition relation, and keep on self-improving.
In fact, in our daily life, most of us are living like Shi. We won’t win applause or flower, but we have to go on living with it. Those who does best at the time will win most, if not all, attention, honor, applause. But life is not a battle, it is marathon. We should be patient, learn how to live in the shadow of others’, and find the success for us.
Take time to think of Shi, why he keeps on run 110 meters hurdle? What should he choose what to do about his life? And how about you?
Why We Love Who We Love
The following is from: http://www.yeeyan.com/articles/view/29643/12643/dz
Robert Winch, a longtime sociology professor at Northwestern University, stated in his research that our choice of a marriage partner involves a number of social similarities. But he also maintained that we look for someone with complementary needs. A talker is attracted to someone who likes to listen, or an aggressive personality may seek out a more passive partner.
It’s rather like the old, but perceptive, saying on the subject of marriage that advises future partners to make sure that the holes in one’s head fit the bumps in the other’s. Or, as Winch observed, it’s the balancing out of sociological likenesses and psychological differences that seems to point the way for the most solid lifelong romance.
