I learned to bike when I was six. During this time I became
more acquainted with the ground than I would have liked. But I kept at it that
whole summer. It was a constant cycle of climbing on, balancing for a second
and then down I would go. For me, taking off my training wheels was a microcosm for
the whole process of growing up (and I suppose the lifelong learning that
follows). You see, no one learns to fall; it is embedded in our very nature.
Climbing is easy enough too. It’s the balancing that is difficult, especially
when the road gets bumpy.
Look at it this way: The best thing you can do for yourself is
to learn to not be ashamed of falling; just keep climbing back up. Success will
come eventually. And the people on the sides of the street will cheer you on.
