I like table tennis because I am too lonely. I'm imagining that if I can live healthy for a long time, then I can often go to the club to play with a racket. The cost is not high, and I don't have to worry about finding playmates. It also plays a role in fitness. So what if I'm no longer healthy? I'm at a loss...
I am a persistent person, and I will give my all to whatever I decide to do. I've been paying as much attention to table tennis these past few months as I have to the Internet for the past six years. I expressed some of my attitudes towards table tennis on the Above the Mortal World forum, and someone replied: "Table tennis is just a sport. If you send too many things, it is no longer a correct attitude towards sports." Such words are very important to me. I was greatly touched, and I even felt sad for myself. The reason why I put all my energy into a hobby can be summed up in two words: emptiness.
My friend said: "I don't understand why some people are unhappy?" Maybe everyone is destined to have his own place in the world, and no one can escape from his own trajectory. I felt unwell today and didn't go to play, so I was able to calm down and think seriously. Suddenly I felt a little desolate. Sitting at home watching TV all day long, eating some sweet fruits or snacks, this kind of life is actually very boring. I want to read a book, but time flies by as soon as I turn on the computer.
Ping Pong, how much should I love you? I don't care about other people's comments. I am a person who insists on having my own way. Some people say that I am narcissistic. It doesn't matter what they say, as long as I am happy, but can I? I've been looking for happiness for years and would do anything to do it, but I can't. Nothing can make me happy for long, or do I really have no talent for happiness?

It has been 13 years since I picked up a table tennis racket. Speaking of table tennis, I really have a close relationship with it.
I remember that the first time I picked up a table tennis racket was when I was in fourth grade. At that time, I was the monitor of our class. There happened to be a table tennis competition held in the school. No one in the class participated and did not know. Where did I get the courage? Having never played table tennis before, I actually signed up to participate. When the teacher found out, he looked at me with a strange look and said to me as a joke, "Can you do it?" (I was relatively short at the time) It was also because of the teacher’s words that I had not yet made up my mind, but I suddenly decided that I had to do this. But after all, I had never played table tennis, so I lost that game. , even though I lost the game, I didn’t lose my confidence. I am such a strong person, and that’s when I started playing table tennis. I never thought that I would stop playing. Once I started playing, I would be out of control. . No one taught me how to play table tennis. I just slowly thought about it by myself. Maybe I have some skills in playing table tennis. In the sixth grade, when the school held another table tennis competition, I won the first place.
After I entered middle school, the school just started to organize a table tennis team, and I became a member of it. However, because it was just established, many things were imperfect, especially the coach. He didn't play well, and I didn't learn a lot from him. The biggest benefit of being there was that it provided me with a place to play, where I could play with different people every day, and learn from different personalities. I learned different things in school. Later, there was a table tennis competition between primary and secondary schools in the city. The coach asked us to compete first. We all knew that the coach wanted to choose among us to participate in the competition. At that time, I took second place, but the coach I was not asked to participate in the competition. I was very confused, but I didn't dare to ask the teacher. Later, I only heard that among the three people who participated in the competition, one was the one who won the first place in our competition, and the other was the coach's Relatives, one is a relative of a teacher in the school. I probably understood why I didn’t have to participate in the competition. At the beginning, I felt very unbalanced and hated the teacher, but I don’t anymore because Even if I didn't participate in the competition, the most important thing is that I didn't give up playing table tennis because of that incident. On the contrary, it made me work harder to learn table tennis and improve my skills.
But because of this, my parents were afraid that my playing table tennis would affect my studies, so they didn’t allow me to play, so I also stopped playing table tennis. During the three years of high school, I played less often because of that. After the first game, the school stopped training us, and I couldn't find anyone to play with.
It wasn’t until I was in college that I started playing table tennis again. It can also be said that I really started learning table tennis when I was in college, because I was in college. When I was young, I met a very good teacher who taught me how to play table tennis for two years. It was only during these two years that I started to seriously learn to play table tennis. In college, I deeply realized that if you want others to know you and appreciate you, you must have a skill, and my skill is table tennis. Since I have a certain foundation in table tennis, I entered the university Not long after that, I became the coach of our school's table tennis association. I quickly became known to many people, and I also got to know many people. It can be said that I had a foothold in the school. When I was in second grade, I became the president of our school’s table tennis association. To be honest, table tennis gave me a lot of honors when I was in college. It is precisely because of this that when I was in college, I , I have always studied table tennis seriously. Now thinking about my life during my freshman and sophomore years, I have become almost crazy about table tennis. I can play from about four o'clock every afternoon. By seven o'clock, many people admired me. Now that I think about it, I don't know why I was so obsessed with table tennis at that time. Maybe it was because I didn't want to miss the opportunity for someone to teach me, so I kept working hard. With. During this period, I also participated in many competitions and won many awards. But I think what I realized most deeply in these games is that during the game, it is not only our skills that are compared, but also our mentality. I remember when I played for the first time in college, I competed with a girl for first place. The playing environment between me and that girl was very different. I preferred to be quieter. Even when I won a ball, I She also doesn’t like other people’s applause, but she is different. She is just the opposite of me. She likes other people’s applause. When she wins a ball, she hopes others will give her applause. It is this difference that makes her The first time I competed with her, my heart was disturbed by her, so the first time I competed with her, I lost. When she and I competed for the second time, she and I had already experienced many competitions. To be honest, our skills were almost the same, but I won this competition. In fact, I knew that during the competition, She was also very nervous, and I was also very nervous, but I knew that I couldn't show my nervousness, otherwise I would definitely lose, so when I competed with her, I always smiled, even in my heart I was also nervous. Even if I lost, I kept persisting. In the end, I defeated her with a "better mentality". Although my playing table tennis in college gave me a lot of honors, it was not the happiest time when I played table tennis, because at that time, I played table tennis with a certain degree of selfishness. I just thought, I must I have to win, otherwise others will look down on me, so I had a burden on my heart when I played, and it was quite depressing at times. I no longer had the relaxation and joy I had when I played before.
When I was about to graduate, I quit the table tennis association of my school. When I was running for my job, I stopped again. After I settled down at work, by chance When I had the opportunity to play table tennis with my colleagues in school, I felt much calmer and no longer played like I did in college. I think no matter what I do in the future, I will try to enjoy the process instead of just focusing on what it can bring me. I am very glad that when I picked up that table tennis racket again, my heart had changed. , maybe because I have grown up, or because I really like table tennis so much. I like one thing, maybe because it can bring us happiness. Me and table tennis, maybe it's like what a few slogans in an advertisement say, "Table tennis allows the world to know me, and it also allows me to know the world." Of course, I didn't let the world know me, and I also got to know many people because of table tennis. , and also let many people know me.
