One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I
21 the car by the roadside and waited for her.
As I looked
22 the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old,
23 freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short
24 . The boy had a big smile on his face
25 he had just been set free from some sort of
26 . The boy would then fall to the grass,
27 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could again, still with a
28 on his face.
Kids, when they fall down, don't view their falling down as failure, but
29 , they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they
30 . While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was
31 touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so
32 and so natural — no signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only
33 was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a
34 — just being himself—being completely in the moment. He was not looking for
35 or was not worrying about whether
36 was watching. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him
37 and that it would be
38 if he did fall. No, all that
39 to him was to accomplish the task, to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that
40 and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits(追求) in life.
