Heritage

I have still been impressed with Olympic athletes' accomplishments & words.

The Japanese team got BRONZE medals at male 400 relay.
That is the first time for Japanese men to get a medal at the sprint races.
I was moved by what the second runner, Shingo Suetsugu, said at the interview.

"We are lucky to get a medal. However, this bronze medal is not for us, runners. But also for our seniors & pioneers. Japanese sprinters have had a hard time to be said, "Japanese can't win sprint races." Our seniors have made maximum efforts to break the "glass ceiling."
We have learned a lot by their experience, experiment, and encouragement.
That's why we accomplished the third place in the world. "

Ummmm... His words have a deep meaning.
When people accomplish something, they have "heritage" and "history" behind that.
It may take a long time, but the result is supposed to follow when many people's passion get together.

This theory also applies a private matter.
Do you struggle with something?
I do, actually. I always do. However, if I(you) don't give up my (your) dream, the "struggling" time will never vanish in vain.
Experience, experiment, and encouragement.
People always repeat these, and that's a life.
