Sigh ...
If this is what it takes for him to settle, so be it. He needs a closure for this season.
Although he admits he has limits, he won’t accept them until he runs into a brick wall. I do feel he matures from what he has been through this season. However, he is only 20, extremely stubborn, competitive and ambitious. With his pride and ego, it won’t be easy for him to make peace with any loss or disappointing performance. He is highly intelligent and he sure knows “lack of forbearance in small matters upsets great plans”. The hard part is to accept that some matters are not always so big.
I won’t count on anybody to change his mind, as he seems to be among the people who can only be persuaded by themselves, and it takes time. I just pray that he won’t get injured again, or prolong the time he needs to fully recover.
See, being his fan is so contradictive…on one side, he shines so brilliantly because the way he burns, and that’s how he touches me the most; on the other side, I am so, so worried that he could burn out sooner than he should last…
