I like your title "Gift of Defeat". Our world sometimes celebrates too much of success stories that we undervalue the gift of defeat. For from emotionally painful defeats, seeds of learning from failures and setbacks can germinate into stepping stones on the journey to success. They can make us wiser, stronger and better. Success is thus also a journey; not always a destination alone.
I play for leisure. It happened to me twice and so I wanted my opponent not to give me an inch and just play hard. On the other hand, I intentionally gave my opponent a point when I was in that kind of winning position.
No disrespect but Actually and eventually hina hayata will be like mima in a few years time, it happen to everyone in the past, just like harimoto, mima, truls, etc, Eventually the chinese will get used to hina or be it the lebrun brothers, the chinese have so many player playing TT they clone someone who will play to hina and just practise, its the new and surprising factor that hina have over the chinese as of now, but as soon as the being new factor goes away, it will just become a norm for the chinese just to beat hina
@@rjari8578 mima is losing not only to chinese but to everyone like yubin , prithika , suthasini , lily zhang, etc. i dont think hayata will become like that...
Yeah the obvious point gift is ridiculous and a sign of total arrogance. Ocassionally if i'm beating a worse player badly, I might deliberately just loop a ball off the side though if i'm 7-0 up or so. Psycho mom though, hope Mima Ito is not psychologically scarred by her youth.
