I think I would have exploded at him if not for the others trying to "console" us?
They said that he was being extremely b****y today, that we were working very hard, that they were said the same things when they were our age. They said that they were already very proud of us, that he wasn't talking about us. But still, "JH2s" mean us, isn't it? So he's talking about us, case close.
He said that we weren't training hard enough. He said that we barely fulfilled training requirements, that we were stagnant, never improving, for a very long time. He said that the seniors were so much better than us when they were our age, and that the juniors would very easily catch up and overtake us the moment they come in. Excuse you, I don't think so.
Three times a week for land and three times a week for water. That's totally not fulfilling requirements? It was only during this week that we went for two water trainings, then you come and complain. When we were training our asses off, you said nothing. Can't we just have one break?
Yes, you're speaking to the guys. Everyone said that it wasn't directed at us. Still, do you know how much it hurts when we push hard, you say that we're slacking? If what we do is considered slacking, I can assure you that next year, the bunch of JH2s (the current 'talented' juniors) are a hell lot worse. You say that they are strong? Really? 他们又厚脸皮,又不肯忍受痛苦,死定了。
The junior guys (esp. that skinny one in the JK1) are cocky. Not all, some are very nice, but the others are just plain cocky or just have that I-don't-give-a-damn-I'll-just-sink-this-boat attitude. The junior girls are like. I don't know how to say it.
The know they are seen as talented, and they use it to their fullest extent. They don't listen when we try to teach them, because they are so-called 'good'. We can't say anything because we aren't talented like them.
LOOK AT HOW MANY TALENTS THERE WERE WHO EVENTUALLY COULDN'T HOLD OUT IN OUR BATCH.
I DON'T WANT TALENT. I WANT HARD WORK, DEDICATION AND PASSION.
IF YOU ARE READING THIS NOW: I DON'T CARE HOW GOOD YOU STARTED OUT. HOW GOOD PEOPLE THOUGHT OF YOU. UNLESS YOU PROVE IT TO ME THAT YOU HAVE A REAL HEART IN WHAT YOU DO, I DON'T THINK OF YOU AS GOOD.
This is a very sensitive topic. Talent.
I'm sorry, but this is how I see it.
Running at 13 minutes for 2.4km at JH1 means nothing to me. Running at 9 minutes mean nothing to me.
But if you tell me, "I'm going to train hard, I'm going to give my best" and you go out there and do it, then I'll take my words back.
Prove me wrong. But if you all are not going to change your mentality, I can count on myself to be right for this. For once.
