Before she became a star
Kim Yu-na is the most popular person all over the world. We call her a big star. She became an irreplaceable person in figure skating. She has made people watch her every show with breathless interest. We all know that she has made efforts day and night for her perfect performance. But there are two main reasons to make her a big star.
First, she gave up many things, especially friends. I had ever seen a TV program about her. It was when she was not that famous, but I was interested in her because she was around my age. She looked so cute, and the image she practiced staking seemed nice as well. I felt just envious of her. After a few years, she became very popular. And many media cover her story. I got to know that she had hard time training because she had no friends. Her mother made her alone, which was a kind of her strategy only to make her daughter be absorbed in practicing. Kim Yu-na confessed that she hated her mother because she really wanted to go out with many friends and enjoy freedom, but she couldn't. I felt sorry for her to envy her because of her great appearance a few years ago. But for her mother's strategy, she could practice more and grow strong. So she also confessed that she wanted to thank her mother. I think it is really hard thing for her to be alone and practicing just for career. But she finally overcame it.
The other factor to make her a big star is that she really enjoys what she is doing. There is a saying that a genius can't win one who does his best, and a person who tries his best can't win the one who enjoys what he does. She had to give up many things and practice a lot, but she could overcome all these things because she has loved and fully enjoyed figure skating. In one interview, she said she wanted to be a figure skating player again even in another life. And in her website like cyworld homepage, she sometimes uploaded her pictures. In her pictures, she always looks so happy and satisfied. Of course she is in the top position and gains fame and even a lot of money, so many people including me are easy to think that there is no reason not to be happy. But she lives under strong pressure to maintain her spot and she has to practice much harder. It might be much distressed to live as a star. But she can do better because she really enjoys skating.
I think she shows well that perseverance and patience are necessary to achieve something. And also we have to enjoy what we do first. Actually we all know well about these things leaded us to success. But it is not easy to put them into practice. She did it. What we really should follow her is her hidden efforts.

ReplyDeleteBefore She Became a Star
Kim Yu-na is the most popular person all over the world. We call her a big star. She has become an irreplaceable person in figure-skating. People watch her show with breathless interest. We all know that she has made great efforts day and night for her perfect performance. But there are two main reasons to make her a big star.
First, she gave up many things, especially friends. Once, I coincidentally came upon a TV program about her. It was when she and figure-skating were not that famous, but I was interested in her and the sport because she was around my age and figure-skating seemed really fantastic. At that time, she looked just cool. After a few years, she became very popular. And media are fighting to cover her story. I got to know that she had hard time training because she had no friends who could be with her when she felt really tired practicing. Her mother ensured that she was alone, which was her strategy to make her daughter focus only on practicing. Kim Yu-na confessed that she hated her mother because she really wanted to go out with many friends and enjoy freedom, but she couldn’t. I felt sorry for her to envy her because of her great appearance. But for her mother’s strategy, she could practice more and grow strong. So she also confessed that she wanted to thank her mother.
The other factor to make her a big star is that she really enjoys what she is doing. There is a saying that a genius can't win one who does his best, and a person who tries his best can't win the one who enjoys what he does. She had to give up many things and practice a lot, but she could overcome all these things because she loved and fully enjoyed figure skating. In one interview, she said she wanted to be a figure-skating player again even in the next life. And in her own website like cyworld homepage, she sometimes uploads her pictures. In her pictures, she always looks so happy and satisfied. Of course she is in the top position in terms of fame as well as wealth, and thus many people, including me, find it easy to think that there is no reason for her not to be happy. But she lives under strong pressure to maintain her spot and she has to practice much harder. It might be much distressed to live as a star. But she can do better because she really enjoys skating.
I think she shows well that perseverance, patience and most importantly, enjoyment are necessary to achieve something. Actually we are already fully aware that these things lead to success. But it is not easy to put them into practice. But Kim Yu-na did it. So she deserves everything she has gotten from her hidden efforts.
