Talent difference

Hello, I'm a college guy.
I play a sport in a university club.
It's not a major sport, so I started thinking there were no experienced people and it would be okay to start in college.
I've been practicing 3 times a week for 3 years with almost no break.
However, my juniors are getting better and better, and now I almost always feel that they are better than me.
I thought I knew from the beginning that I wasn't a person with good motor skills, and from the beginning when I joined the club, I thought it would be nice if I could enjoy exercising.
However, facing the current situation where they are being overtaken by juniors, it is still frustrating, I feel sorry for myself, and recently I haven't felt any fun at all, so I've been practicing with inertia.
I feel a great sense of inferiority when I think that 2 years as a junior and my 3 years are about the same level of growth.
I think this is the difference in talent.
Why is there a talent gap?
What is talent in the first place?
Is it possible to fill that gap through effort and hard work?

What if differences in talent are also individuality
What if my lack of talent is also my personality
What if it's my own merit, including that
How can we enjoy our lives?
The fun and interesting nature of things changes between those who are blessed with talent and those who aren't, doesn't it?
Isn't that somewhat unequal? Isn't that absurd?

Of course, I don't think professional athletes and artists demonstrate their abilities through talent alone.
I think it's the result of a great deal of effort.
However, being blessed with talent is an unwavering fact, isn't it?
People blessed with talent made an effort in a place where they could demonstrate their talents.
So there are consequences.
Isn't that all there is to it?

Where are my talents
If you don't have any talent, then there's no point in doing anything
When I think about that, it becomes helplessly difficult.

Talent is not something you can see.
My heart isn't strong enough to work single-mindedly towards what I can't see.
I think I know that sports aren't all about winning or losing, but I'm not the kind of person who can enjoy losing even if I keep losing.

But since I've been doing it for 3 years, I want to enjoy practicing until the end.

Enjoy life.

Why is it going to be difficult?
If you were superior to your juniors,
Are you satisfied?
Above is above,
Below is a bottom.
Okay, up and down here
Is it worth it?
They are the same people.
There is originally no top or bottom.
I was born with Ogyah
Ending that life again,
From this shaba world,
I'm going back to the Pure Land of Paradise.
Once born and passed away,
In that respect,
Everyone is equal,
I think they're equal.
Since you can see it up and down,
compare,
It became a complex,
torment yourself,
Isn't it going to go away?
Only to those good and bad
Because it makes me think,
It's going to be hard.
You are you.
There is only one person in this world.
He is an irreplaceable and precious person.
Don't worry about it.
The painful cause is
It's not because my juniors are good,
Isn't it because you're worried?
I am me,
They are with them
If it can be reopened, I think it'll be fine.
If you ask me,
Risk your youth and work hard
There are things you can do when you're passionate about,
You've been doing your best,
He's a wonderful person.
This experience will last your life in the future
If you make sure you make it rich,
I think.
This Shaba world
Because it doesn't turn out the way I want,
It's interesting.
Why isn't it working?
What you worry about is yourself
It makes it strong and supple.
rather than going well,
hit a wall
Being frustrated or about to be frustrated
I think it will be a great experience.

The story changes,
My best friend
Tall, smart,
That's cool too.
It was fashionable and very popular.
The family is also rich,
Start an apparel business
There are successful guys.
Sadly,
It disappeared last year.
As far as I'm really lonely,
There were times when I felt envious,
It's all his personality,
If there's no point in comparing yourself,
I noticed it at one point.
What I noticed was
Do job hunting for each
If the path I'm about to walk is different,
That was when I noticed it.
Once in a lifetime.
The way of life at that time,
The only thing I can do is cherish my life
Like we can't,
I think so.

your glorious future,
I'm praying for the future.

Please play an active role.

Tips for having fun

I saw your concerns.

There's a difference in talent, right?
It's probably genetic or the result of past efforts, etc., but I don't think there's any point in thinking about such things.

Whether it's sports, study, or work, there are tips for having fun.
It's about not comparing yourself to others.
You should be able to enjoy it from the bottom of your heart by looking only at and focusing on whether you have progressed compared to your past self.
That said, it's very difficult, but I think it's worth trying out.

The Buddha said that if you lose your way, you should rely on yourself and Buddhism. It's not a path to compare yourself to others, and I think it's a path you can carve out for yourself.

Talents are perverts

Just as there are good and bad ways to teach in the world, there are good and bad ways to learn at the same time.

Relatively speaking, everything is an accumulation of small things. For example, the trick to sitting without making noise when sitting upright is not to put both knees on the floor at the same time, but to slightly shift the timing and place them on the floor one by one.
Learning and memorizing such detailed tips one by one is an improvement. That is the intensity of practice time.

Then, when people who are good at learning such detailed things, they say, “No, I have to do that!” Never say anything, just try it out for yourself. When you become a better person, you just look at it even before you're taught, and you're like, “I see, that might be the trick.” I'll see through it and try it out. When you become a better person, “I learned by watching books fall over.” At first glance, I learn in a way that I don't understand the meaning even from places that seem completely unrelated.

At that time, the difference between geniuses and ordinary people is clear. For ordinary people, setting up practice time and working hard during that time is an effort. But geniuses can see that no matter where they are and what they do all the time, if it's sports, it's linked to sports. So in a sense, I make an effort to exhale all the time. There are people like that in the world.

Well, damn it, he's a pervert. I can't follow you.

There are gachi forces and enjoy forces, but “because I'm on the enjoy team!” You can just pass it through. They may say they regret losing, but they say, “So what is it, leave it alone! I'm not Buddha, so I'm so sorry to lose. You won't win, stupid!” I think people who open up to the point are more presumptuous and manly.

Wouldn't it be fun if you keep losing? This is biological truth. Nobody is having fun. Monks aren't fun either. If you enjoy it, you're a genius at having fun. I'm a pervert. That's why you should keep a moderate relationship with people who can't win and keep a moderate distance. Just because you're a junior doesn't mean you have to take all of that seriously.
This kind of thing happens even when you go out to work. Let's think that it was good to be able to prepare.

biological diversity. Things I get from my parents.

Diversity is necessary for organisms to evolve and survive.
If all humans had the same abilities, for example, a single type of virus would kill all of humanity.
In the midst of differences in talents, they compete for survival.
Diversity leads to the strengthening of organisms as a whole.
That is a characteristic of living things on Earth.
Some fruits, such as tangerines, are sweet and sour. That's the natural way it works.
Incidentally, in the Pure Land of Paradise, all residents have the same appearance (shining Bodhisattva), and it seems that they don't even have a sense of distinguishing themselves from others.

By the way, there are other things you get from parents other than talents and qualities.
Appearance, assets, environment where you can go to college, education/knowledge/lifestyle, relationships in the community, nationality, etc.
Even if you look only at your ability to exercise, it may seem that you are inferior, but you also get a lot of things from your parents, and you are envious when you look at them from people who don't have them.

Maybe my juniors were able to train their physical strength and sense of balance by doing some kind of exercise until high school.
Or maybe they do some kind of practice somewhere during hours other than practice time or even on days when they don't practice.
Maybe they're doing research by reading books by good people or watching play videos of good people over and over.

I've been writing letters for decades, but I'm bad at it. However, elementary school students who are learning hard writing are far better than me. Is that a talent difference?
