Chapter 37 Tightrope walking and trapeze

Watching the Russian circus, while watching the trapeze, the host suddenly announced: "In order to thank the audience, the protagonist will perform a special volley leap of 30 meters in the air. This action is too difficult and may not be successful." More than 6,000 spectators waited with bated breath, and even the original noisy music was still.The trapeze leaped in the sky, and suddenly made a mistake and fell straight down from a high altitude. Wow...! The audience sighed together, discussing why they didn't have eyes to appreciate the difficult leap. "In order to live up to the audience's expectations, our protagonist is willing to try again." The host said.

The audience was pleasantly surprised, clapping red palms, holding their breath and waiting again. The trapeze man flies across the sky, his posture is as beautiful as a giant eagle, and he lands on the swing 30 meters away with precision. The audience burst into thunderous applause, and the music was accompanied by Beethoven's "Eroica Symphony". The hero landed on the safety net, turned around, and greeted the audience's applause with the hardest smile. Later, I heard from a student who worked part-time in the circus that the failure of the first test flight was deliberately arranged to arouse the emotions of the audience. The first failure and the second success, although just a performance, are equivalent.

Failure makes success seem more precious. The same is true in our real life. Many wait with bated breath, only to fail, but the success that has failed is more worthy of applause and applause. The tightrope walkers and trapezemen in the circus must have had many failures before performing on the stage, so they designed such a performance! Their achievements are based on "danger" and "failure". If they performed on flat ground, no one would want to watch them. Life is also like walking a tightrope or leaping in the air. Courage is exercised in danger and strength is established in failure.
