In a bygone era, when summer afternoons were sweltering and there was no internet or mobile phones, I found joy in playing badminton with my father. This might be the earliest memory I have of badminton. As I grew older, work and physical limitations took their toll. However, I soon realized that exercise is essential, and among various options, I chose badminton without hesitation. Over time, I developed a deep affection for the sport, not just because it's physically demanding and requires technique, but also because it tests one's will to overcome oneself. Badminton has had a significant impact on my life and work, making each serve, jump, jump, hit, and landing a form of self-improvement. As I continued to play, I came to understand that the greatest enemy in life is oneself. The true spirit of badminton lies in transcending one's own limitations. When faced with challenges on the court, I remind myself why I persisted in the first place: 'When you want to give up, think about why you started.' Badminton has been a journey of self-discovery and growth, and for that, I am grateful.
