For the movie itself, I want to quote one of the movie review as a summary: “Incredibly entertaining and inspiring. Amazing to see what the human body and mind are capable of when you push yourself beyond your comfort zone. The film is very well made and provides a real insight into an event most people know nothing about.”
But right now I am going to discuss is, how important endurance is. In this movie, it’s incredible to know that only 12 people success to walk across the forest through 25 years. Everyone has excuse to give up, but only a small scale of people choose to continue with endurance. It reminds me a famous saying: based on the degree of how hard-working the majority is, you don’t have to beat others by your talent. Most of people is not as hard-working as their maximum, so keep-going and study efficiently will lead to success with 99% possibility, even if you are not talented to some extends. This movie motivates me to be a endurable student dealing with finals.
While I think that piece of advice is worthwhile and something we all should commit to, I don’t think it works well in this context. In the case of the race, it is so physically demanding, that those who want to finish simply can’t due to the physical exertion. If only 12 people graduated from a major in 25 years, it is evident that simply working hard enough will not get it done. However I think it is true a lot us don’t work to our max potential. I think given all the distractions present, it is hard for some people to focus and keep up the motivation. What would your advice be to people who give up easily so that they can work harder and better?
