Exploring the theme of competition in the spheres of art and sports, I managed to find two motivational installation on achievement of success, both of which are effective in achieving results. The first option is the most effective motto is: “I take my place on the podium! I will prove to the world that can be the best of the best”. The second is somewhat different: “I find my place in life! I create beauty and show it to the world”.
American jazz pianist and composer, winner of twenty-two Grammy awards first arrived in the Soviet Union in 1982, in order to learn how people live in the ‘iron curtain». Relations between the United States and the Soviet Union at that time was under the cold war, and to organize a concert in Moscow was impossible. The jam session was held at the House of the Union of composers. And here's how it says the actress Alla Demidova.
“Our jazzmen played at the aortic rupture. It was powerful. But then I asked chick Corea. He came on stage, sat down at the piano and something began to play quietly to himself. It was amazing and cleared my brain! I was thinking that our all the time seeking something to prove – we can do it too! And then the man who only seeks harmony and nothing more. Just me and Harmony. This is real art”.
here is another example, but from the world of sports. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992 at the world Championships in Belgium twenty years Russian Oksana Kostina won five gold medals and became the absolute world champion in rhythmic gymnastics. What kind of motivation helped her achieve success? The high level of competition and the desire to win or something else?
At sixteen Oksana heard the phrase that in the sport it is nothing to do. At the time she was on 56th place in the Olympic reserve, and girls of twelve years, “stepped on the tail” and performed unique tricks. To get into the top three to participate in international competitions had no chance. And then her coach Olga Buyanova said: “Well, well. If you fail to make her a world champion will do for the soul. You can also turn everything that's in me and it outside to get pleasure and deliver it to the audience”.
Results Oksana, which ceased to strive for victory and played for the soul, began to grow exponentially. The girl showed itself first of all as a person, as people. Its inner content, a feeling of music breaks out. It was with the ball, as if it were part of her body. It's like she was born with it. In the end, released talent has, paradoxically, led the gymnast to the victory.
“In the games the most important thing is not to win but to participate», – said, Baron Pierre de Coubertin-the initiator of the modern Olympic games, French sports and public figure, historian, teacher, writer. Coubertin contributed to the revival of the Olympic movement and international competitions with only one goal – to popularize the sport. He wrote that “the country has the right to call itself a sport if the majority of the population feels a personal need in sports”.
unfortunately, the French Baron foresaw the following changes: “In the near future, we are waiting for the appearance of the disgusting clan of professional athletes that will distort the very idea of sports”. I see that today that policy is pierced with poisonous arrows, and the sport, art, and science. We compete for the title of “best of the Best”, “the Right of the right-wing”, “the Strongest of the strong”. And why?
they Say that the competition-the engine of progress. In some cases I think the engine of progress aggression. I really responded to the phrase cameraman Roman Vasyanov: “We need to stop feeling inferiority complex and compensate for their endless enmity. We must be who we are. And our global problem is that we live in the past”.
What to do to get rid of the feeling of inferiority and humiliation? I think we need to continuously examine yourself-your strengths and weaknesses; to stop something to someone to prove; to let go of the past, extracting lessons from it; and begin to live in the present, taking his seat. And, of course, optimistic look to the future!
Finish the famous saying of de Coubertin: “Oh, sport! You – the world! You establish a good, kind, friendly relations among peoples. You ’ consent. You bring people together, eager for unity”. Replaced the word “sport” “psychology”, also went well. Try to substitute his own. Continue to investigate what is the strength and weakness of the competition. What do you think about this?
