At that time, Ando was under immense pressure to perform well at major competitions, including the Olympics and World Championships. As she navigated her career, Ando faced challenges such as injuries, intense media scrutiny, and high expectations from her coaches and sponsors.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\n\nWhat lies beneath this seemingly straightforward quote is a nuanced perspective on the nature of performance and achievement. On one hand, Ando acknowledges the significance of striving for excellence in a major event like the Olympics. Yet, she also subtly shifts the focus away from external validation (e.g., winning or making it to the podium) and towards her own intrinsic drive to try.\n\n**How to Use This**\n\nTo apply this mindset today, consider adopting a \"try-first\" approach to your work or creative pursuits. Instead of fixating on the end result, focus on cultivating a sense of curiosity and experimentation in your daily endeavors. By doing so, you'll be able to tap into a more intrinsic motivation that's less susceptible to external pressures and expectations.",{"currentPage":127,"totalPages":128,"totalItems":8,"itemsPerPage":129},1,2,10]
