Invited to speak to his old high school,he mentioned a valuable childhood experience.It was about that holiday his mother had prepared for them:"Once,on a trip to the sea,my mother and I were lying on the beach.She pointed to the sea and said to me:Do you see the seabirds fighting for food out there?When a wave comes near,the little birds rise quickly.The clumsy(笨拙的) seagulls are far slower and have to struggle to get away from the wave.But these clumsy birds prove to have the biggest,strongest wings,which allow the bird to travel the furthest.When the season changes,they leave for foreign shores,leaving the little birds behind.Son,I have a feeling that you are one of those seagulls."
