Run Freely ——A Lesson about Courage
One afternoon, many years ago，I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I     the car by the roadside and waited for her.
As I looked     the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around one and a half to two years old,      freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short      .The boy had a big smile on his face      he had just been set free from a      .The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, and without      or looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again ,still with a      on his face, as if nothing had happened.
Kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, but      , they treat it as a learning experience. They feel inspired to try and try again until they      .
Not only was I impressed by the boy’s courage, but I was        touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so      , so natural, without signs of fear, nervousness, or of being disappointed. His only      was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a          , just being himself. He was not looking for      or worrying about whether      was watching. He wasn’t concerned about being judged. He didn’t seem to be bothered(困扰) by the fact that maybe someone would see him     and that it would be      if he did fall. No, all that      to him was to complete the task of activity at hand to the best of his ability, feeling the experience of running fully and freely.
I learned a lot from that observation and     , and have successfully brought that lesson with me in life.
