Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 1 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 2 we realized we were 3 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $20 bill. I was so 4 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 5 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 6 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 7 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just 8 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience (良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn't 9 over it. I just couldn't go back to the cashier and 10 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I 11 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in 12 that someone would say,“Hey, Jeff, why don't you use the change 13 the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?”I was not so 14 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 15 of the“pizza incident”, I would say to myself,“Don't think about it….”
I have learned two things from this 16 . Maybe I was a fool for 17 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 18 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 19 up with you.
This reflects the saying,“A coward(懦夫)dies a thousand deaths; a hero dies one.”I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a“ 20 ”and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
