Many years ago, I went to 8.____my mother from work in the afternoon. 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 9.____a little boy, around one and a half to two years old, 10._____ freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face 11._____ he had just been set free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, and without 12.____ or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face. It seemed  13._____ had happened!

For kids, 14._____ at an early age, when they fall down, they don't regard their falling down as a 15.____; instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They feel compelled to try and try again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not 16. ____ "falling down" with the word "failure" yet, thus they don’t know how to feel the state which accompanies failure. Therefore, they are not 17. ____ 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. 18. ____, they give themselves permission to make mistakes. Thus they remain energetic.

Touched as I was by the boy’s 19. ___, I was equally touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so 20._____ and natural. No 21.____ of fear and nervousness.

His only aim was to run freely and to do it as 22. _____ as he could. He was just being a child-just being himself - being completely in the moment. He was not looking for 23._____ or was not worrying about whether someone was 24._____ 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 (as there were others in the park apart from him and his mother) and that it would be 25._____ if he did fall. No, all that 26. _____ 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 27.____ a lot from that observation and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.
