One afternoon, many years ago, I went to pick up my mother from work. I got there a little early so I 21 the car by the roadside and waited for her.

As I looked 22 the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old, 23 freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short 24 . The boy had a big smile on his face 25 he had just been set free from some sort of 26 . The boy would then fall to the grass, 27 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could again, still with a 28 on his face.

Kids, when they fall down, don't view their falling down as failure, but 29 , they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they 30 . While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was 31 touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so 32 and so natural — no signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only 33 was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a 34 — just being himself—being completely in the moment. He was not looking for 35 or was not worrying about whether 36 was watching. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him 37 and that it would be 38 if he did fall. No, all that 39 to him was to accomplish the task, to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that 40 and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits（追求) in life.

One morning in Philadelphia, the sun shone bright through all the thick jungles and the tall churches. John, 6, wearing the worn-out clothes, walked from a far place, his dark small hands holding a piece of stolen bread.

John stopped for a moment at the entrance to the church and then left tightly holding the bread,

He was an orphan(孤儿), whose parents were killed in World War II leaving him alone in the orphanage for five years, Like many children in the house, he had a lot of free time. Mostly no one took care of them, so they had to learn how to steal those they wanted.

John believed God to be real, so every Sunday morning in any case he would go to the church to have a look and listen to those people singing inside or reading the Bible. He felt only at this moment he was the child of God and so close to God. But he couldn’t enter because his clothes were so dirty. John himself knew it.

John was quietly calculating the times. This was his 45th Sunday at the entrance to the church. He stood on tiptoe（踮着脚尖） for a while and walked away.

As time passed, the pastor(牧师) noticed John and learned from others that he was the small boy who liked stealing things in the orphanages.

On the 46th Sunday, the sun was shining and John came still holding a piece of bread with his dark small hands. When he just stood there, the pastor came out. He felt like running away, but he was carried by the pastor's friendly smile.

The pastor went on saying, "At the first sight of you, I find you're different from other kids because you have a good heart."

His face turning red, John said nervously, "In fact, I'm a thief." With that, he lowered his head.

The pastor didn't speak, but held John's dark small hands, slowly opened them and put them against his wrinkled face.

"Ah" Just at the same time, John shouted and was about to take out his dark small hands. Yet the pastor tightly held his small hands and spread them out in the sun.

"Do you see, John?"

"What?"

"You're cupping the sunshine in your hands."

John blankly looked at his hands: when did they become so beautiful?

"In God's eyes, all children are the same. When they are willing to spread out their hands to greet the sun, the sun will naturally shine on them. And you have two things more than they do. First is courage and the seco
