1. The story of the famous Japanese marathoner Benichi Yamada. He won the world championship twice in the international marathon in 1984 and 1987. When the reporter asked him several times on what basis to achieve such outstanding results, Yamada Benichi always towards the decisive answer: by wisdom to overcome the opponent to achieve victory.
People know that the marathon is mainly a contest of athletes' physical strength and endurance, and that explosive power, speed and skill come second, so the answer to the question of Yamada's "wisdom to win" was not believed by many, who felt that he was exaggerating and making a show of it. However, ten years later, people finally from Yamada Benichi's autobiography, verified that "wisdom to win" is really his success experience.
He wrote in his autobiography: "Before every Bissell, I would take a car and carefully survey the route of the Bissell, and draw down the signs along the way, for example, the first sign is a bank, the second sign is a big tree, and the third sign is a condominium. And so on until the end of the race.
After the start of the race, I sprinted to the first target with the energy of a 100-meter dash, and then to the second target with the same speed. 40 kilometers were broken down into several small targets and finished easily.
At first, I didn't do this, but rather set my goal at once on the flag at the finish line, and ended up feeling exhausted after about 10 kilometers because I was intimidated by the distance ahead of me.
Big successes are paved with small goals.
