Mother always said I was born to swim. I was ...

Mother always said I was born to swim. I was 41  at the amazing fact. If this was true, then why was I afraid of water? I went to swim every summer, but I made 42 progress. I was worried and blamed myself several times. When I watched people swimming 43, how I wished I had learnt to swim!

The story of how I learnt to swim is dramatic. One summer afternoon, my 44 and I went to the swimming pool to swim. While he was 45 his clothes, I was wandering along the bank of the pool. Suddenly I heard a voice, “46!” and then came a big noise and 47 splashes(溅水). Just when I was 48 the swimmer’s skills, I slipped into the pool! I was so afraid that I 49at once! But the water kept coming towards me and I 50 lots of it. I was moving upside down and trying to reach the 51. I was struggling very hard to keep my head 52 the water. A(n) 53 was like a hundred years to me. To my surprise, I was able to keep the style! Just then, my father saw me and he seemed to be 54. He then said, “Calm down, just 55 your arms and legs like this. Right!” And I 56 it! I finally learnt to swim! You can’t imagine how happy I was and I wanted to 57for joy!

From this experience I learnt that one’s power is 58. Sometimes you could show that power in an emergency. If you believe that, you will discover the power 59 within yourself and achieve your goals. And one has to stay calm when it’s 60. To calm down helps you to think clearly and make the best decision.

It has been said that Lincoln was always ready to join in a laugh at himself. There is one particular story that he always told with great pleasure.

In his early days as a lawyer, Lincoln went from town to town to hear and judge legal cases. During one of these trips, he was sitting in a train when a strange man came up to him. The stranger looked at the tall awkward lawyer and said that he had something he believed belonging to Lincoln. Lincoln was a bit confused. He had never seen the man before. He didn't see how a total stranger could have something of his. Lincoln asked him how this could be. The stranger pulled out a pocket knife and began to explain. Many years before, he had been given the pocket knife. He had been told to keep it until be able to find a man uglier than himself.
