One afternoon, I went to pick up my mother
from work. I got a little early so I 36 the car by the
roadside, and 37 for her.
As I looked 38 the car window to my
right, I saw a little boy around two years old in a small park, 39 freely
on the grass as his _40___ watched him from a short distance. The boy had a
__41___ smile on his face. He would then fall to the grass, get up , and
without__42___ or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could,
again, still with a big smile on his face, as if __43___ had happened.
With 44 especially at an early age,
when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure,
__45___ instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again
_46____ they succeed.
The answer must be that they have not
connected “falling down” with the word “__47__” yet. Thus they don’t know
__48__ to feel the state which accompanies failure. They probably think that it
is perfectly okey to fall down, and that it’s not _49___ to do so. In other
words, they give themselves permission (許可) to _50___ mistakes subconsciously（潛意識地）. Thus they always remain encouraged.
I was _51___ by the boy’s persistence(堅持) and the manner in which he
ran. With each _52___, he looked so confident. No _53__ of fear, or of being
discouraged ----- as if he didn’t _54___ the world around him. His only aim was
to run _55___ and to do it as effectively as he could. I learned a lot from
that observation and experience.
