For kids，（47）Aat an early age，when they fall down，they don't regard their falling down as a（48）B；instead，they treat it as a learning experience．They feel compelled to try and try again until they succeed．The answer must be that they have not（49）D"falling down"with the word"failure"yet，thus they don't know how to feel the state which accomparues failure．Therefore，they are not （50）C in any way．In addition，they probably think to themselves that it's perfectly okay to fall down，and that it's not wrong to do so．（51）A，they give themselves permission to make mistakes．Thus they remain energetic．
Touched as I was by the boy's（52）C，I was equally touched by the manner in which he ran．
With each attempt，he looked so（53）Dand natural．No（54）Bof fear and nervousness．
His only aim was to run freely and to do it as （55）A．as he could．He was just being a child-just being himself-being completely in the moment．He was not looking for（56）Bor was not worrying about whether someone was（57）C or not．He wasn't concerned about being judged．He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him fall （ as there were others in the park apart from him and his mother） and that it would be （58）Aif he did fall．No，all that （59）Dto him was to accomplish the task or activity at hand to the best of his ability．To run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely．I （60）Ba lot from that observation and experience，and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life．
