As a 23-year-old man, I was sitting on my mom's sofa and waiting for the pain in my back to ease (减轻). No work and money forced my wife, our baby boy and me to live with my parents. We slept in my old bedroom, and I was feeling down.
Thankfully, I had one new job: helping my son learn how to walk. Anytime he took a few steps, however, he would fall down and cry, I had to hold his hand while he walked long. But my back didn't deal with it too well. As I sat there with my eyes close I suddenly heard my mother said." Joe, look "I opened my eyes and watched my son catch the coffee table, Pull himself up and smile. Then, he started walking around it, keeping his hands on it for balance (平衡). Finally, when he reached the end of it, he took two big steps and make it to the wall. Then he started walking down the hall with his hands balancing on the wall the whole way. I laughed and cheered Suddenly, I didn't feel that bad. Because my boy had learned to walk.
We may fail many times in our life. It's just like learning to walk. When we fall, we should stand up and keep trying. That's what we should do to have a better life.
