　　Last night was the last game for my eight year old son’s soccer team．It was the final quarter．The score was two to one, and my son’s team was in the lead．Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement．

　　With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’Donnel．With shouts of“ Kick it!” echoing(回响)across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had．All around me the crowd erupted(沸腾)．O’Donnel had scored!

　　Then there was silence．Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie．For a moment, there was a total hush．You see, Mickey has Down Syndrome(综合症)and for him, there is no such thing as a wrong goal．All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey．He had even been known to hug the opposite players when they scored．

　　The silence was finally broken when Mickey, whose face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, “I scored! I scored! Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment, I held my breath, not sure how my son would react．I need not have worried．I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high five salute and started chanting, “Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal．

　　Everywhere you will always find “the white-haired boy”, sometimes called “the fair-haired boy”. He gets special treatment, as if he were above everybody else. You will find him in school, in college, at home, or where you work.

　　In school, he is a teacher's pet, her darling who can do nothing wrong. Sometimes she lets him do little jobs for her. He comes to class in the morning, all shiny and clean. He is always raising his hand, ready with an answer to the teacher's questions. And he knows all the answers. He “gets into your hair”, especially if you are at the bottom of the class and the teacher thinks you are stupid. How you hate the brat!

　　At college, he walks--more often strides -- across the school grounds as if he owned them. Sometimes he wears a colorful football or basketball shirt or sweater, with a bright red, or green or yellow college letter proudly worn on the front of it. What broad shoulders, what muscles he has! He makes the girls happy by just smiling at them. He has the mark of success on him.

　　At home,“the fair-haired boy”is mother's choice, her favorite. Sometimes, he is the oldest son at times the youngest. If you are in between, you are out of luck.

　　On the job, you meet another one of these “White-haired boys”, you can't escape them. For some strange reason, he is the man who is always moved ahead. He gets better and better jobs, with more and more money. But you stand still ,wondering why, and trying to explain to yourself why you hate him so much.

　　Then, you discover that there are others who share your feelings, ready to “let their hair down” to tell you their private thoughts. One of them asks,“What does he have that I haven't got.”You ask yourself the same question.

　　Finally, there comes a day when you decide to stop hating him. Is it perhaps because he has been made boss and you find yourself working for him?
