Chapter 1745 1745 Spiritual Guide
"In fact, before creating this song, the band had almost disbanded frequently. We quarreled several times. At that time, everyone was busy with their own affairs, and the group activities of the band had almost disappeared..." Hugo was like a chat, talking about that memory casually, without deliberately sensation, but simply telling the cause and effect of the matter. Behind the slightly pale and boring storyline was the inner surging and the rushing emotions.
Only those who have experienced similar ups and downs can hear from such a "simple" story about the magnificent waves hidden in Hugo's calm and relaxed tone.
Payton was attracted by Hugo's story, and even temporarily abandoned his situation aside, just following the ups and downs of that memory, "So, did you jump like that?" When he heard Hugo jumping towards the cliff through the wind and waves, Payton could hardly control his surprise and blurted out.
Hugo was amused by Payton's rare out-of-control. He nodded seriously, "Yes, I just jumped like that." Hugo still felt that he was so bold when he recalled that night. When filming "Seattle Night Not Sleeping", he had an experience of jumping into the lake, which made Hugo feel incredible, but he started to jump off the cliff directly. The progress of the leap was really terrifying. "Actually, at the moment of jumping out, I really felt that I had flew up. That feeling was indescribable, and it was still unforgettable."
Payton saw the excitement flashing in Hugo's pupils, and a trace of admiration appeared deep in his heart, which shocked Payton.
But then, Hugo laughed self-deprecatingly, "But the next second, I knew how bad the situation was. Gravity pulled suddenly..." Hugo paused, frowned and shook his head hard, "Oh, that's really unbearable to look back."
Payton actually laughed out loud. After laughing, he realized his misconduct, quickly stopped his smile and said "sorry". But Hugo waved his hand, "It's okay, I think that's ridiculous."
Hugo paused for a moment, "But if I do it again, I will still make the same choice."
This made Peyton stunned and asked curiously, "Why?"
Hugo looked at Payton with a serious look on his face, and after a while he was mysterious, "Because immediately afterwards, the rest of our band jumped down."
Payton didn't react at the first time. After a circle in his mind, he understood what it meant, and then he burst into laughter. It was not that kind of polite smile or that kind of suppressed smile, but that kind of laughter who was completely out of control. This emotion was very unfamiliar to Payton. He rarely let his emotions lose control so much. Whether it was crying or smiling, whether it was happiness or sadness, he was used to restraining himself. But at this moment, Payton could not control himself, and the smile from the bottom of his heart burst out like this.
It's like...it's like when he heard the song "Sailing".
Although Hugo didn't say anything redundant, just told the backstory of the creation of "Sailing", Payton suddenly understood, understood the true meaning behind the song, and understood the meaning of the song to him. This feeling is wonderful, but also wonderful.
"Aqi told me that you are considering whether you want to participate in the NFL draft this year?" Hugo directly changed the topic, but it did not seem abrupt. The long conversation just now made Peyton completely relax. He gave Hugo a positive answer, but Hugo shook his head, "Actually, I really don't know much about these things. What I know is just the old truths told by the media. For example, if you enter NFL in junior year, your skills may not be perfect and your psychology is not mature enough; for example, some people choose to participate in the junior year's draft, while some people choose to participate in the senior year, and it is difficult to tell the difference. So, I don't think it is suitable to talk to you about these things. I guess what I said is just a bragging thing in your opinion."
Hugo's relaxed words still made Payton's mouth still have a faint smile. He waved his hands repeatedly to refute what Hugo had said just now. But he was not good at speaking and didn't know how to organize the language at this time. As a result, Hugo continued to speak directly, without giving him a chance to speak.
"My experience may not apply to you; including those professional players' experiences may not apply to you. Because you are you, everyone is an independent individual. Experience is important, but it cannot apply to everyone. You still have your own situation and your own choices after all." Hugo's words stunned Payton, then showed a shy smile and avoided his sight.
In fact, Payton knew that Archie was very worried that he was too anxious, so he hurriedly entered NFL in his junior year. In the world of NFL professional arena, there are too many temptations and too much pressure, and it is difficult for life to move forward as expected. With Payton's current strength, he can be rampant in the college arena, but in NFL, he can only be considered a mid-level rookie. The challenges he faces are completely different, even beyond imagination.
This is also the reason why Payton is willing to discuss with different people, because he knows that his social experience is still not enough and needs other people's opinions to refer to him. But Archie tried too hard and instead created pressure on him. It seemed that choosing to enter the draft this year was a devastating choice.
This made Peyton feel a little repulsive. Now, Hugo's words made him suddenly enlightened, as if he had opened up a brand new world.
"I can only tell you that this is my situation. As for whether it is useful, I don't know." Hugo let out a long sigh. In fact, after he appeared at the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony, his life was like this. He stumbling and bumpy all the way to this day. Can it be said that his choices are correct? Obviously not. He still relied on his own efforts and persistence to open up a world.
"For Glory to Death, the success of the band came too quickly, and even we were not prepared for ourselves, so we crashed into the world of fame and fortune, and then lost ourselves unknowingly. After that, we could only rely on ourselves to struggle, just like the dilemma we faced at this time last year. Only we can solve the problem and no one can help us." At this time, Hugo did not make jokes, but did not deliberately and seriously, but just said those true thoughts in his heart.
"In fact, many times, there is no difference between correct choices and wrong choices in life, because after each choice is made, the results resulting from cannot be changed. What we need to do is not regret, but stick to our own choices, and then go on unswervingly to create our own results."
Hugo's words calmed Peyton. He listened with his ears. Hugo's voice seemed to be left with a blur, and he could only feel that emotion was twitching; but at the same time, those words seemed to pass through the eardrums and project directly into his heart, shaking and echoing in his mind.
"I can only say that in today's society, everyone is eager to move forward, fearing that they will fall behind others. But sometimes, slowing down will lead to different gains." Hugo raised his head and looked at Peyton, who looked at the palm tree not far away. He smiled again, "Actually, I can't tell you what the decision is right, because I'm not a rugby player, I'm not even a professional athlete, and I can't tell you professional opinions. But I know that you already have your own choice in your heart. All you need to do is stick to yourself and keep going. In the future, those seemingly wasted time will give you unexpected rewards."
Archie hoped that Hugo and Payton could talk, and maybe give Payton some advice. But in Hugo's opinion, as a layman, he could give too few opinions. He could only tell his own experience, hoping to give Payton some inspiration, which is all he could do.
Payton raised his head and stared at Hugo seriously, with some excited light flashing in his eyes.
As Hugo said, in fact, he had already made a decision deep in his heart, but many times people are greedy, want to have the best of both worlds, want to kill two birds with one stone, and are unwilling to give up the benefits they get, so they always seek trouble. But in fact, at the moment of hesitation, there is an answer deepest in his heart. What he needs to do is not make a decision, but awaken the answer deep in his heart.
"So, I wonder if you would sign me an autograph?" Hugo showed a bright smile and changed the subject again. Payton pointed at himself in confusion, as if he didn't understand why Hugo asked him for an autograph. Hugo smiled, "I just think that after you enter NFL, you will definitely be a great player, so I want to make some preparations in advance."
Payton noticed Hugo's words, saying "great" rather than "excellent".
Payton scratched his head shyly, and then said generously, "In the future, after I enter NFL, I will keep you a seat in the team's VIP box." After that, Payton seemed to notice the mistake in his statement and quickly added, "Of course, I hope my team will not be your mortal enemy team."
Just like the football world, the rugby league also has mortal enemies. If the team that Payton enters happens to be Hugo's mortal enemies to support the team, then Hugo may not be willing to watch the game on site.
Hugo laughed loudly, "Don't worry, I support the players, not the team." The sentence is meaningful.
On March 5, shortly after, Payton Manning officially announced, "I chose to stay with the Volunteers to play in my senior season. It's not that I don't care about high salaries, but just staying in college can make my heart stronger."
