When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to
1 water to the runners. I remember being so
2 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
3 up for the race.
That first 10,000m race was quite an
4 . I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked.
5 , I didn't know
if I could finish. Then came a defining (决定性)
6 .
At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very, very fast, and I felt
7 because I was
50 years younger than he but I couldn't even keep up with him. I felt
8 for a second.
But then I

10 abilities, experience,
training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my
11 was only to finish.
After a minute, it

that moment. I turned my embarrassment into

14 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
15 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
16 .
In life we all have those moments where we
17 ourselves to others. It's only
18 . Don't allow those
moments to
19 you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. With the proper preparation and
training, you can improve your result to
20 anything you want in life.
