Mehr news agency; Magazine Group – Morteza Derakhshan: The famous “Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton”. the most He is the polar explorer, a hard-working Englishman, a civilian sailor and an unrepeatable legend in the Antarctic continent, whose management in today’s world has many books.
Shekelton traveled to Antarctica four times to record a great achievement in the golden age of exploration, but the most interesting thing about Shekelton is that the memorable legend of the English who teach and promote his management methods in the four corners of the world never, I emphasize, never Your real goal is to stand on the point called the South Pole!
The first time he was on the verge of death and returned half way, the second time he was the head of the exploration team, he moved the world record, but again he made his way home in the orbit of 88 degrees, the third time he could not start the mission at all and in At the very beginning of his work, he got caught up in saving his team, and at the last time, before the whistle blew to start the competition for a new discovery, he had a stroke and died!
Yet the story of Antarctica is an incomplete story without Shackleton, the story of a hero who never won.
In this sea of thought
“Hassan Yazdani” lost to the American David Taylor, let us announce this repeated news more cruelly, Hassan Yazdani got a technical blow against the American David Taylor!
For some, this news is very painful, including the author himself, right when the referee slammed his palm on the mat and announced the end of the match, but today, as we write and read these words, we are out of the excitement of the match and want to go to the real world. Let’s take a look, the world that explains to us the relationship between our wrestling and America, the relationship between Yazdani and Taylor and many other relationships that showed themselves in this match.
We are now sitting after a storm drinking tea on the deck of a ship and thinking about how the world is and could be. If we don’t look right today, tomorrow we will lose our hands and feet in the excitement of the next storm.
That half-vegetable Japanese
Japan is the country of judo, it is both the birthplace and maturity of this discipline, a discipline that is now known in our country with suspension, but once it was known with champions who were all contenders. Like “Syed Mahmoud Miran”!
Miran was a godsend, an amazing talent who had gone half way before the competition, unique height, good physical strength, high intelligence and classical technique that compensated for his occasional laziness.
Miran went to the brink of making history many times, but there was always a strong barrier in front of this history-making judoka, he lost to a short judoka named Monita from Japan, and probably if you look at the old pictures, you will still envy that this half How can Vejbi defeat our giant hero?
At first, everyone thought that Miran was short, until the young “Mohammedreza Rudaki” with better physique and more training took Miran’s place, and ironically Rudaki was not Monita’s opponent either!
The problem was elsewhere. We saw our side. We saw that our hero wins all and loses to a Japanese dwarf, not knowing that the other side was saying another thing: “Monita wins the whole world, even Mahmoud Miran!”
If you remember those days, “Alexander Mikhailian” from Russia, “Abdullah Tengriev” from Uzbekistan and “Suzuki Keiji” from Japan were also in the world and we lost to them, but our black cat had become Monita and this black cat Our exact mirror and the rest of these big names had become.
Monita trained better than us, he had better coaches, better and more opponents trained with him, Monita himself and his exceptional physique was similar to “Yasahiro Yamashita”, the legendary judo champion, who because of the center of gravity close to the ground and due to The characteristics of this field were invincible. With all these interpretations, was it strange to lose to Monita?
Taylor is better than Yazdani
Yes, losing to Monita is as strange to us who watch five minutes of judo on TV receivers as it is to lose to Taylor by watching two or three minutes!
If you are a wrestling expert, a journalist, a historian or a judge, you will surely admit that Taylor is better than Hassan Yazdani, but isn’t Hassan Yazdani good?! Be careful that you are talking about the runner-up of the world, about someone who is second in his specialty in the entire world of eight billion people and stands higher than seven billion nine hundred and ninety million people in the world.
But do we like Hassan Yazdani more than Taylor? It must be true. Hassan Yazdani speaks the same language with us, eats the same food with us, wears the same clothes with us, worships with us in the same direction and most importantly, he is happy with our happiness and sad with our sadness. At the end of the day, it is our flag that rises and our anthem that is sung.
Hassan Yazdani is a part of us, we live with Hassan in the same body, we bend down, run over, push and pull with him and we get tired after the competition, with the difference that he carries the burden of training that we don’t do.
The late Ali Ansarian once said to Reza Sadeghi: “The small garden of the father’s house is better than the big garden of the neighbor.”
Events that are remembered
Let’s go back to the story, let’s go to judo and “Arash Mirasmaili”. The author doubts that you remember this staggering statistic, because what remains of Mirasmaili in the minds of the public is that he did not compete against the representative of the Zionist regime.
Arash was banned from competing for the Olympic gold medal because of the goal he was facing for a nation, and something was left in his memory that was not victory! If we forget these days of Arash and the margins he set for himself, do you remember those matches from Mirasmaili when he won everyone and became the world champion?
Let’s refer to the same wrestling, in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, “Rasoul Khadim” won gold and Abbas Jadi lost to Kurt Engel, that too with injustice! Which one do you remember? Khadim gold or a new dramatic failure?
How do stories last?
Now, after numerous appearances in the World Cup, it is easier to ask the question, which of our promotion to the World Cup is the most memorable? Which one do you even remember?
For me and my generation, Australia split history in half, we cried that night for Ahmadreza Abedzadeh’s injury against Japan, we laughed at Ali Akbar’s own goal, Ostad Asadi, at the hooks we took one after another for Asian teams and they They went, we cried and laughed at all the dramatic events that happened on the way up, that’s why the 8th of Azar became history for us. While we may not even remember that Mohammad Nosrati’s goal against Bahrain took us to the World Cup, we forget the world without stories. Each of the ups and downs on the way to the Melbourne stadium, the story gets looser and looser. Try!
Many times in our lives we have climbed, climbed the steps of the platform and up there planted the flag on the summit, many times we sang the anthem together and waved to those who stood below and watched us climb.
But in the same championships, in the same joys, in the same victories and in the same climbs, if there is a sadness in a person’s heart that will last like mixing the bitterness and sweetness of tea on a rainy afternoon, it is like waking up from a nightmare, like reaching and if it is not bitter, the taste of sweetness does not come to our tongue.
Let’s think about why failures make victories more memorable.
We only remember stories
When you give information to the computer to store, it converts it to zero and one, that’s the language of the computer, it doesn’t understand otherwise. Like the human body, whatever food it eats, it burns it as sugar and stores it as fat. It’s the same with the human brain, everything we enter to store in it must be in the form of a story, otherwise it won’t store.
We go to weddings many times in our lives, but we remember the one where the electricity went out, the one where there was a fight, the one where the dinner was not good or the ceremony was somehow messed up. We will never remember the events that happened in one line for long, because the plot is one of the requirements to turn an event into a story.
We take our child home from school every day, but we remember the day when we go to school and they say it’s not your child! That day will never be forgotten, no matter how soon this plot is unraveled, it is still imprinted in one’s mind. Stories that do not have a knot are quickly resolved in the rest of the stories, when you want to share a memory with your friends or relatives, which one do you choose?
The story of failure or the story of victory?
That’s why stories that experience more highs and lows are more lasting for us, going back to the beginning of the story, where Ernest Shackleton, the most famous Antarctic explorer, never reached the South Pole. His fate was so complicated, he traveled so low and high, and it was so much a story that he became immortal for people who research about Antarctica.
Pay attention, the South Pole was first touched by the Norwegian Amundsen and then by the English Scott two weeks apart, even the name of the Antarctic research base is “Amundsen-Scott”, but we can boldly say that today if research about the South Pole You will see the name of Ernest Shekelton more than anyone else. The real discoverer of the South Pole is Amundsen, he reached the South Pole with a dog and sled very easily and without any problems, to be honest, the North Pole was also discovered by him, but he shared the title with someone who died in the discovery of the South Pole with his team!
Scott and his team had a painful fate and died of hunger and cold on the route where Norwegian Amundsen had gained weight! But the bitterness of this story was so great that it became a story. Now is the best time to talk about Hasan Yazdani, a hero that we probably know now that he will be remembered!
child of the nation
Hassan Yazdani will definitely remain in our memories, like “Gholamreza Takhti”, like “Alireza Heydari” who always Kortanidze We have had bigger heroes than Yazdani, Takhti and Heydari Am And we will definitely have it from now on, even though “Hamid Soryan” is the most proud wrestler in the history of our country with six world championship gold medals and one Olympic gold medal, but the one who in the story Ash There is a hidden sadness, someone who has lost among his wins, someone who is a story Ash to be heard, it will never be erased from our minds.
We love Hassan Yazdani because the joy he gives us is always mixed with a deep sadness, we love him because we love the story, we love Hassan Yazdani because winning in the world alone is not enough!
Hasan Yazdani is a champion, if he trains, tries and defeats himself, he can defeat Taylor in the Olympics, but the real question is, if the child of a family cannot take the first place in the entrance exam with all the expenses, is he no longer a child of that family? Hassan Yazdani is a son of Iran, whether he wins or loses!
