While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was equally touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident,so natural. No signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged — as if he didn't give a care about the world around him.
當我被小男孩的堅韌所感動時,我也被他奔跑的方式所觸動,每一次嘗試,他看起來都是那么自信,那么自然。沒有害怕和擔心,更沒有灰心——就好像他一點都不在乎周圍的世界。
His only aim was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a child — just being himself—being completely in the moment. He was not looking for approval or was not worrying about whether someone was watching or not. He wasn't concerned about being judged. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him fall and that it would be embarrassing if he did fall. No, all that mattered to him was to accomplish the task or activity at hand to the best of his ability. To run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that observation and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.
他唯一的目標就是自由地奔跑,盡全力去跑。他就做一個孩童——一個真正的他——那一刻完整的他。他不尋求驗證也不擔心是否有人在看他。他不在乎別人如何評價他。他看起來不在意是否有人看到他摔倒,并在乎摔倒是件尷尬的事。不,所有對他重要的只是盡全力去完成眼前的任務。去奔跑并體驗全力,自由的奔跑。我從這個觀察和經歷中學到了許多,當我在生活中一次次去追求時,它令我受益匪淺。
