He told me yesterday morning:
"I don't want to run..."
"I understand. When I was a high school student, I had to take part in the marathon meet at school. I really didn't like it. But you will not have to practise running after it. Do your best!"
I didn't go to see him because I was busy for my work.
His friend's mother informed me by e-mail that he came the 21st.
After we came home, my son showed me a small piece of paper and said:
"I was in the 20th position when I ran for practise 2 days ago. I dropped one place."
He was disappointed.
His rank and time were written in the paper.
I told him:
"But, look! Today your time is 40 seconds faster than yesterday's! Isn't that something? I know marathon is really hard, but you did a great job!"
I hugged him, and he smiled at me.
I think winning is not important.
What's important is that you do your best and you are better than your were yesterday.

What's important is that you do your best and get better than you were (before/yesterday).
