王珞丹：我并非天资聪颖，但我依旧能达成更高的成就。北京王府井地铁站，满屏都是王珞丹为NIKE拍摄的广告牌，画面中的王珞丹素面朝天、眼神坚定，全神贯注的练习一个舞蹈动作。

一直觉得演员这个职业很光鲜，需要把自己最好的一面呈现给观众。看到王珞丹的一篇叙述自己学习舞蹈的经历，原来再优秀的人也会遇到自己的短板。是的，很多人再抱怨自己没有天赋的同时就放弃了努力，但不去做，你怎么知道自己不可以？

我小学同桌，有天跟我聊起太阳真好，我随手拿铅笔画了一个正圆。这真的吗？后来用圆规测量过，一丝不差，就是正圆。这件事像毒辣的日头一样震撼了我。

渐渐地，我发现世界并不公平，比如，一些人天生能听出细微的声音高低差别，这种地方在于，他们能听出来的小节拍，我连概念都没有。我非常希望也有天赋，最好是舞蹈的天赋。

6岁那年，当第一次站在舞蹈室中央时，我妈妈送我进门，用力看了一眼，那一眼信息非常庞大，包括了：孩子啊你从小到大撒野撒得本来都麻木了但很快要上小学了还是希望你最后一搏做个知书达理跳舞棒棒的好姑娘妈妈爱你你要是不好好跳今天晚上你就跟一块吃素菜看完新闻联播就去睡觉懂了吗？

I understand, so at that time, my steps were heavy. Teacher taught us to turn flatly, all the little friends could rotate according to the track, but I rotated like a headless fly. In the classroom with over ten classmates, they all laughed until their waists bent.

This "laughter" shattered my illusion of talent. Just like this from 6 years old on, I realized that once dance would be hearing applause-like mocking sounds.

That year, I gave up learning dance. At 17 years old I entered Beijing Film Academy. Art exam display; most of the female classmates chose dance: ballet, ethnic and classical dances even jazz and street dance. But I stubbornly sang a rock song at that time felt cool.

Once during a performance showcase an actress performed a duet titled 'Cowback Cradle Dance', captivating everyone's attention in her gracefulness and elegance.

Twenty plus years have passed now though life is full of challenges as ever before still can freely do what one loves best for me which is not small achievements or success in career terms yet it's just choosing to keep trying no matter how difficult it gets then there comes another opportunity where you're standing again in the dance practice hall this time however it wasn't mandatory but something you wanted to try out - dancing despite your lack of natural talent for it yet again you found yourself unable to overcome your desire for dancing even if unskilled by comparison with others who are naturally gifted dancers

After many attempts following months training after much effort finally became part of professional troupe without any shame about being clumsy or slow getting into rhythm laughing with fellow dancers sweat dripping down face wiping away tears happiness growing within me realizing more than anything else joy came from doing what made sense despite being different or slower than others while never losing hope continuing striving towards becoming better version self always believed could achieve greater heights through sheer will power alone - believing not knowing feeling only experiencing finding own unique way improving day by day simply because enjoying process itself so much henceforth was able embrace flaws imperfections proudly sharing experiences journeying forward embracing reality recognizing potential growth remaining open-minded continually seeking ways improve understanding life acceptance leading path toward continuous progress personal growth learning resilience determination courage perseverance overcoming obstacles barriers achieving goals aspirations making dreams come true
