This is a part of Debra Jarvis' speech at TED in 2014, which described what she learned when she was a cancer patient.
In 2005, it was at a big cancer center where I was working 1 I received the news that my mother had breast cancer. And then five days later, I received the news that I had breast cancer. My mother and I can be competitive, but I was really not trying to 2 with her on this one.
I learned a lot being a patient, and one of the surprising things was that only a small part of the cancer experience is about 3. Most of it is about feelings and faith, losing and 4 your identity, and discovering 5 you never even knew you had. It's about realizing that the most important things in life are not things at all, 6 relationships. It's about laughing in the 7 of uncertainty and learning that the way to get out of almost anything is to say: “I 8 cancer.”
So the other thing I 9 was that I don't have to 10 “cancer survivor” as my identity. Sometimes, it feels like people are too crazy 11 it and they start telling us how we're going to feel.
About a week after my operation, we had a houseguest. So at dinner that night, our houseguest said: “You know, Deb, now you're really going to learn what's 12. Yes, you are going to make some big changes in your life, and now you're going to start 13 about your death. Yep, this cancer is your wake-up call.” Now, these are golden 14 coming from someone who is speaking about their own experience, but when someone is telling you how you are going to feel, it doesn't 15. After my treatment, it just felt like everyone was telling me what my 16 was going to mean.
It was at that point where I felt like, oh my God, this is just 17 over my life. And that's when I told myself: Take charge of your experience. Don't let it 18 you. We all know that the way to deal with this unpleasant experience, with loss, with any life-changing experience, is to find 19. But here's the thing: No one can tell us what our experience means. We have to 20 what it means.

【题目】There is a quote by William Purkey, a well-known professor of education, that goes, “Dance like no one is watching, love like you’ll never be hurt, sing like no one is listening, and live like it’s heaven on earth.” I seems like the perfect life philosophy---and one I’ve learned to apply to running over the year.

But I didn’t always feel this way. In my early days, when I weighed 240 pounds, I ran like everyone was watching---and judging. If I was on a run and saw a car approaching, I’d stop and pretend I was looking for something I’d lost I bought the high-tech gear and clothes that I thought would make people believe I was a runner. And I didn’t have a clue if the expensive shoes I was wearing were the right kind for me---I just wanted to look like I fit in with this group.

To be honest, I felt a certain satisfaction in believing that someone was watching. I really thought that other people cared about my performance. The best example of this was a combined, two-lap marathon in Florence, Italy. As I approached the finishing line, the crowd began to cheer. I was surprised. Here I was, thousands of miles from home, and the Italians were shouting for “IIPenguino.”

About 20 yards from the finishing, the truth set in when the winner of the full marathon went past me as I was finishing the half-marathon. No one was cheering for me. no one probably even noticed that I was finishing. I couldn’t help but smile at my own illusion of self-importance.

That’s when I realized I had been running for every reason except the right one. I ran to make other people happy, ran to live up to their expectations. But no one was watching---no one cared. So I decided I was going to run for me---just me---and gained a new enjoyment from the sport I hadn’t truly experienced yet. I’ve learned to run like no one is watching.

So if you see me at race, and I look like a 60-year-old guy waddling(蹒跚)along, don’t worry. I’m fine. The miracle isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start.
