The basics seem to be important in everything

I'm currently reviewing the basics of basket weaving.

However, given the season, it seems that many of the children's parents are in the midst of preparing for their children's entrance exams.

I've never had anything to do with entrance exams, so I don't really understand, but I was able to use the individual judo competition as an analogy, and it made sense to me. In team competitions, five of us work together and have the experience of being among the top in the prefecture (in team competitions, we were point getters)
However, when it comes to national tournaments, it's an unknown world for me as I have no experience, but I have bad memories of being easily thrown by people my age and younger than me at the Kodokan, not in the tournament, but in practice.

That's why only those who have experienced it can understand the feeling of disappointment when you enthusiastically take the exam with all the other athletes from all over the country, and then get caught up in the atmosphere and lose sight of yourself, or are unable to perform.

But I realized after living almost 50 years that my life is 100 times different depending on whether I use what I learned from that failure next time or not. I want you to realize that your outlook on life will change.

Also, the environment these days is so good that it's easy to learn techniques.
But there are pitfalls here too.
Techniques take shape by learning the basics countless times. If you ignore it, you won't be able to use it when it matters most.

If that had been the case, I would have thought that if I had had the mental state of knowing my destiny at fifty when I had the physical strength of a teenager, I would have had an easy victory, but that's not the case either. Even though he was a teenager, he was able to make a name for himself in the world because he had the psychological state of knowing his destiny at fifty, and I would like to think that this is something that humans are born with.

In any case, judo and entrance exams are lonely, and unless you overcome yourself, you won't be able to win.
Not to mention the atmospheric pressure around me, the overwhelming sense of tension, and the need to not disappoint my expectations, even if I lack both mind, skill, and body.

But just because you fail, life doesn't end there.
Most of us learn from failure...
