Many years ago,1 went to _41 my mother from work in the aftemoon.I got there a little

early so I parked the car by the road and waited for her.

As I looked outside the car window to my right, there was a small park where I _42 a little

boy, around one and a half to two years old, 43 freely on the grass as his mother watchcd from

a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face _44 he had just been set free frtun some

sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, and without 45 or without looking

back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face. It seemed 46

had happened!

For kids, _47 at an early age, when they fall down,they don't regard their falliiig down as a 48 ;instead, they treat it as a leaming experience. They feel compelled to try and try again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not 49 "falling down" with the word

"failure" yet, thus they don' t know how to feel the state which accomparues failure. Therefore,

they are not 50 _ in any way. In addition, they probably think to themselves that it's perfectly

okay to fall down, and that it's not wrong to do so. 51 , they give themselves permission to

make mistakes. Thus they remain energetic.

Touched as I was by the boy's 52 , I was equally touched by the manner in which he ran.

With each attempt, he looked so 53 and natural. No 54 of fear and nervousness.

His only aim was to run freely and to do it as 55 . as he could. He was just being a child-just being himself - being completely in the moment. He was not looking for 56 or was not worrying about whether someone was 57 or not. He wasn't concemed about being judged. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him fall ( as there were others in the park apart from him and his mother) and that it would be 58 if he did fall. No, all that _59 to him was to accomplish the task or activity at hand to the best of his run and to feel the expenence of running fully and freely.I 60 a lot from that observation and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.
