It goes without saying that this picture aims at revealing a current problem: what kind of attitude we will choose when facing difficulties and challenges. In this drawing, a football-player is prepared to kick a ball towards the net, where a goal-keeper keeps guard. However, in the player’s mind appears a scene in which the keeper becomes a giant covering the net completely, while the latter imagines that he turns out to be a dwarf standing below the huge net. Obviously, both of them lack courage and confidence in front of challenges.
These two players represent those who often choose to magnify their enemies and dangers, and lose their confidence to fight against them. As a result, what they can achieve in the end is nothing but failure. This sad situation can best be illustrated in the fact that some people lose their chance of success in the entrance examination for the MA program. When preparing for the exam, they often feel depressed thinking that they are never well-prepared. In fact, they will soon realize that it is not as difficult as they thought before. In a word, they suffer from underestimating their abilities.
In our life, what we need most is self-insurance and a proper view of challenges before us. Therefore, we should bear in mind that our competitors may not be as terrible as expected, and our painstaking efforts will pay off as long as we arm ourselves with courage and confidence. Only in this way can we overcome any difficulties and challenges.
