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 .
