My father, Danny Thomas, was a famous comedian, singer, actor, and producer with many fans. When I was a child I 41 him. Once, my father made a(n) 42 with Margaret O’Brien and he often took me to the set. I also wanted to be a movie star. Ten years later, at age seventeen, I got my 43 .
I played the lead in Gigi. However, the 44 of finally being a real actress was painfully short-lived. All the interviews and all the reviews 45 my father.
Would I be as good as my father? Was I as gifted ,as funny? Would I be as popular? I was extremely 46 .
I loved my father, but my 47 was just him.
“Daddy,” I began, “please don’t be 48 when I tell you this. I want to change my 49 . I love you but I don’t want to be a Thomas anymore.”
I tried not to 50 during the long silence. And then he said, “I raised you to be a thoroughbred(优秀的赛马). When thoroughbreds run, they wear blinders to keep their eyes focused straight 51 with no disturbance, no other horses. They hear the crowd but they don’t 52 . They just run their own race. That’s what you have to do. Don’t listen to anyone 53 you to me or to anyone else. You just run your own race.”
The next night 54 the crowd filed into the theater, the state manager 55 me a white box with a red ribbon. I opened it up and inside was a pair of old horse blinders with a little note that 56 , “Run your own race, Baby.”
Run your own race, Baby. Dad could have said it a dozen other ways: “Be 57 ”: “Don’t be influenced by others.” But it wouldn’t have been the same. He chose the right words at the right time. And all 58 my life, I’ve been able to come to the point by asking myself. “Am I running my race or 59 else’s?”
I thank my father for all his words that continue to live in my 60 .
