問題詳情:
After a decade at the publishing company, I was fired.I had worked so hard for so long.I was always doing my job 31 ,clawing my way up the ladder.And 32 ? Doing these things had 33 me, in the end,very little of lasting value.I wondered what would happen if I let it all go—didn’t look for a job,didn’t keep my 34 ambition.
My husband thought it was a great idea.“Just 35 ,” he said.As a serious windsurfer, he suggested I try the sport as a path to clarity.I had windsurfed before , but only in 36 water.I didn’t like high winds.I didn’t like going fast—that was 37 .But I wanted to abandon the past.My 38 was to do nothing but read and windsurf every day.I wanted to feel the fear and do it anyway.I wanted to learn how to ride the currents,and I couldn’t think of a better way than to 39 myself to the invisible,ever-shifting wind.
I decided to sail at Swell City, a favorite outpost on the Washington side of the Columbia.That July 40 to be one of the windiest months on record.I grew to find that what I was doing did 41 for my standing in the world.It won me no friends.Then again,I was 42 .
One day, a friend and her l5-year-old son came,and after I explained my 43 , he said the simplest but most profound thing:“It’s all in the 44 .” This kid had windsurfed only three times , 45 he knew the secret.“If you go out there knowing you’re going to 46 it,you will,”he continued.“But if you go out there afraid you’ll get hurt , you will.”I smiled at him.Wasn’t that 47 the same problem I’d encountered (遭遇) in life? I’d always been terrified I wouldn’t reach the goal or 48 the job.I knew I had to let that fear go.And slowly I did.
The wind wanted nothing from me.It cared not at all about my ambition or accomplishments.It 49 me that the beauty of life is in the trying.And that’s where I am:still trying for the turnaround in life and in the 50 .
