"我们把自己搞得太紧张了。就像如果你试图说服自己，“哦，这是一个重大的时刻，这是一次重要的射击”，你就给自己施加了很大的压力。你已经射过成百上千次那样的球了。就再射一次吧。"
— Kobe Bryant
Simplified Meaning:
When we make something seem more important than it is, we often put too much pressure on ourselves and make it harder to succeed. Imagine if you're about to take a final exam. If you keep telling yourself, "This test is huge! I can't mess it up!" you'll likely get really nervous. This stress can make you forget what you studied and perform poorly. Instead, think about how many tests you've taken before. You’ve studied and practiced a lot, so just treat this exam like any other. By staying calm and thinking about it as just another test, you are more likely to do well. Similarly, when playing sports, if a basketball player sees every shot as the most important one, they might get too anxious and miss. By treating each shot as just another normal one, they play more naturally and effectively. This mindset can help you perform better in exams, sports, or any challenge you face.
