Having never imagined the toughness of tonight's game, I feel very crestfallen and disappointed. I feel crestfallen because I originally thought with my involvement our team would be strong and beat anybody in front our way. Disappointed because I played only 5 minutes and during that meager time I played terribly. Clearly, I overestimated myself and this is what I have always been doing. I am always like a overconfident and unrealistic sailor. Before going out for ocean journey, he strongly believes he will beat every storm and arrive at the destination with glory, but the truth is: he cannot just endure a mild wave and even if he gives out everything he has, the storm ignores him without mercy. Finally, when he arrives at the end exhaustedly, nobody will applaud for him and he has to continue doing what he has to do.
Yes, I am a confident man. But I have to admit that sometimes I am overly confident and ignore the apparent truth that I am absolutely not the man who will save the world and do everything perfectly. Now, I can feel the exact emotion of French soldiers when they were defeated by the England army during the Hundred's year war, of arrogant Japanese generals when they had to bow and capitulate(I think human's emotion are alike even though I hate those Japanese), of Real Madrid squad when they were conceded 4 goals at Westfalenstadion.
As I said to my teammates when were kicked out of the group, "either you will accept the victory, or the failure." Now it is time to accept the failure and come up with something that can make me avoid the same failure again. The very lesson that I can learn from this game is that: KEEP MODEST AND NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR OPPONENT, OR YOU WILL BE HRUT TERRIBLY.
There are two sorts of pains in the world: one is that could make you even stronger when you get through it, the other is the useless pain that can only possibly make you upset. I think the former fits this time.
