Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph we realized we were . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand- new (崭新的)$20 bill. I was so because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it....”
I have learned two things from this . Maybe I was a fool for in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will up with you.
This reflects(反映) the saying, “A coward(懦夫) dies a thousand deaths; a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “ ” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
