When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to   36   water to the runners. I remember being so   37   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   38   up for the race.

That first 10,000m race was quite an  39 . I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked.   40  , I didn’t know if I could finish. Then came a defining (决定性)   41   .

At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very, very fast, and I felt   42  because I was 50 years younger than he but I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt   43   for a second.

But then I   44   something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had   45  abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my   46  was only to finish.

After a minute, it   47   me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment. I turned my embarrassment into   48  .

I  49  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   50   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   51  .

In life we all have those moments where we   52   ourselves to others. It’s only   53  . Don’t allow those moments to   54   you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. With the proper preparation and training, you can improve your result to   55    anything you want in life.
