Li Jiawei is one of Singapore's best table tennis player and was selected to represent Singapore for the Olympic game 2008 in Beijing. It's a very rare chance to be able to participate in the Olympic game as its only held every four years at different parts of the world.
Singapore should be proud of her, as she achieved Silver for the team game, and forth in the individual game. Although she lost in the semi-finals against Guo, we all know that she'd done her best.
Being able to play so well, it all requires effort, perseverance, as well as time. Jiawei spends majority of her time playing table tennis, competing with others to improve her stamina, endurance, strategy as well as skills. It is tiring, she even lost in the Athens Olympic four years ago for a close game to get third, but she still didn't give up.
Although Jiawei lost to Guo in that game, what matters is the experience, and understanding the different techniques they use so that she will be able to improve in future trainings and competitions.
If you fail, it doesn't mean you'll fail forever. Strive on, and keep on trying. In every difficulty lies an opportunity. Perserverance is the key to success.
