这两天，巴黎奥运会的各项比赛激战正酣。　　作为世界竞技水平最高的赛场之一，奥运会除了每场比赛的输赢、奖牌榜上的排名、各项被打破的纪录牵动着亿万观众的心，也常常让我们惊叹于一些世界顶尖选手的“神级”表现。　　像是全红婵著名的“水花消失术”。　　比如前两天潘展乐以46秒40的成绩打破100米自由泳世界纪录。　　再比如郑钦文昨天2:0击败女单世界第一的波兰名将斯瓦泰克，闯进决赛，再一次创造中国网球女单历史。　　郑钦文获胜后发微博“相信就是力量”　　当然，还有樊振东4:3逆转张本智和，成功捍卫国乒男单荣誉。　　这些看似闲庭信步、自信满满、以下克上、力挽狂澜的表现和强大心理素质，让我们不禁感叹，顶级运动员与普通人之间天赋的差异。　　然而，曾获得20个网球大满贯男单冠军的“网球天王”费德勒（Roger Federer），在前不久的美国达特茅斯学院（Dartmouth College，常青藤八大盟校之一）2024届毕业典礼上的演讲中说道：　　毫不费力的成功只是虚幻的神话，你必须非常努力，才能看起来毫不费力。　　（Effortless is a myth.I had to work very hard to make it look easy.）　　要不要这么燃！　　  费德勒2024达特茅斯学院毕业演讲 　　从古到今，人们为体育比赛而痴狂，也为体育精神所感动，从而备受激励。　　体育运动常常包含着重要的人生哲理。　　特别是对于顶尖高手来说，其所感所知，所凝结的经验，常常蕴含着带领他们走向胜利的底层逻辑。　　而这种领悟，对普通人也有极强的借鉴意义。　　今天，东方君想将这位“网球天王”对即将步入社会的毕业生的建议分享给大家。　　"希望这些经验在你们毕业之后也能有所助益”　　整个演讲的核心观点有三个：　　第一，看起来毫不费力的成功，仅仅是虚幻的神话而已，所有的成功都需要付出艰辛的努力；　　第二，过往的成败，仅仅是经历而已，过去就过去了，我们学会接受失败，应对失败，然后继续前进；　　第三，赛场不是人生的全部，我们要在更广阔的世界中不断探索，贡献自己的力量，并感受其中的乐趣。　　由于费德勒的演讲比较长，以下节选一些特别触动东方君的段落，分享给大家。　　Olympic Games　　毫不费力只是一个神话　　Today, I want to share a few lessons I've relied on through this transition.　　今天，我想分享一些我在这个转变过程中所依赖的经验教训。　　Let's call them tennis lessons.　　我们可以称之为网球课。　　I hope they will be useful in the world beyond Dartmouth.　　我希望这些经验在你们离开校园后依然能发挥作用。　　So here's the first.　　接下来是第一个。　　Effortless is a myth.　　毫不费力只是一个神话。　　I mean it, I say that as someone who has heard that word a lot.　　我是认真的，作为一个经常听到这个词的人，我愿意这么说。　　Effortless.　　毫不费力。　　People would say my play was effortless.　　人们会说我的表现毫不费力。　　Most of the time, they meant it as a compliment, but it used to frustrate me when they would say, "He barely broke a sweat," or, "Is he even trying?" The truth is I had to work very hard to make it look easy.　　多数时候，他们都是在夸奖我，但当他们说“他几乎没出什么汗”或“他到底有没有努力过？” 时，我常常会感到沮丧。事实上，我必须非常努力才能让事情看起来毫不费力。　　I spend years whining, swearing, sorry, throwing my rackets before I learned to keep my cool.　　在我学会保持冷静之前，我花了很多年的时间抱怨、咒骂、愧疚、扔球拍。　　The wake up call came early in my career when an opponent at the Italian open publicly questioned my mental discipline.　　在我的职业生涯早期，意大利公开赛上的一位对手公开质疑我的心理素质，这对我来说是一个警醒。　　He said, "Roger will be the favorite for the first two hours, then I'll be the favorite after that."

moments.　　你要成为克服困难的高手。　　That is, to me, the sign of a champion.The best in the world are not the best because they win every point.　　对我来说， 这是冠军的特质。世界上那些最优秀的球员，不是因为他们赢得的每一分而变得优秀；　　It's because they
