His menti0n 0f the boy several times proved that he wanted to over． whelm loneliness and enhanced courage and force to fight．
Santiago recalled the arm—wrestling episode to give him more confidence．The recall would allow him to forget a connection with the marlin that went beyond the literal link of the line：his bodily aches attested to the fact that he is well matched．that the fish is a wor．thy opponent．As a young man，Santiago enjoyed single-minded competitive contests， as an old man he continued to enjoy them．
III．Conclusion
The old man conveys us that we human beings should keep graceful even under fierce pressure， should face the failures bravely，and keep the spirit of unyielding integrity．These are the qualities with which we should be equipped，just as the motto of the old man“Man is not made for defeat．A man can be destroyed but not defeated．’’
