题文
When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to 34 water to the runners. I remember being so 35 to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! So the next year I 36 up for the race.That first 10,000m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked 37 , I didn’t know if I could finish. Then came a defining (决定性) 38 .
At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very, very fast, and I felt 39 because I was 50 years younger than he but I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt 40 for a second.
But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had 41 abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my 42 was only to finish.
After a minute, it 43 me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment. I turned my embarrassment into 44 .
I decided that I would not give up on running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare 45 and one day I would be one of those 70-year-old persons who were still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my accomplishment. In life we all have those moments where we 46 ourselves to others. It’s only natural . Don’t allow those moments to 47 you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. With the proper preparation and training, you can improve your result to 48 anything you want in life.
