“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the co­founder of parkour (跑酷).
Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one?Like jumping from walls and over gaps and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond"s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes, that"s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds,but its participants see parkour much more than that.
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy (哲理) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said,“I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”
Another philosophy we"ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.

I was watching a TV series one night when I took in one scene. A man was seeking his community votes, and people   36  wanted to know why they should give him their   37 . He took them to his house and on every   38   in his house was the word “Faith” pasted. People raised lots of   39   to find out why the word was pasted on his mirrors. He said, “My dad often   40  me to believe that as long as you have   41 , you should have faith. Every time you look in to the mirror, you’re looking at yourself and see ‘Faith’. ”
The   42   I learned from this is simple — faith is a living thing and in the same way we’re all   43   given 24 hours a day and we’re all given the same measure of faith. Faith keeps us going when things get   44  ! Why is some people’s faith stronger than that of others? Exercise! If we choose to exercise our faith, it will   45  ; but if we choose not to, it remains weak. Some people might   46   that they don’t have faith, but we all practice faith every day even if we don’t   47   it was faith. Daily   48  , such as studying, investing or reaching for a dream, take faith.
Faith   49  hearing and doing. I made a decision yesterday — to   50  reading the newspaper full of too much sad and   51  news. Why? Because I   52  there was a drop of my mental state after reading the newspapers.

I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most 36 thing we ever give to each other is our attention (注意力). Especially if it’s 37  from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do 38  but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times  39   about it is even more important than understanding it.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story, people often 40     to tell her that they once had something just 41  that happened to her. Her pain became a story about 42 . So, finally she stopped 43  to most people because she just felt too lonely. When we interrupt what someone is 44  to let them know that we understand, we 45  the  focus of attention to ourselves. But if we just 46 , they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief (宽慰) of having someone just listen.
I have 47  learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. I 48  that passing a person a tissue (面巾纸) may be just another 49  to shut them down and take them out of their experience of 50 . Now I just listen. When they have 51  all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This 52  thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very 53 . I thought people listened only 54   they were too shy to speak or did not know the 55 . A loving silence often has far more power to heal than words.

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear  36 that you are trying new things.It’s always   37  to try new things because when you are trying new things you are   38 .If you never try anything new, how can you   39 ? The simple answer is “You can’t”.With few exceptions, every single detail of development is the   40 of someone trying something new.
When you are making mistakes, you are  41  .Edison failed 10,000 times before he   42  the light bulb.When asked how it felt to  43  that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t  44 
Finally, when you make a mistake you are much   45  to success.Why ?
When all is done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeed.  46  you make a mistake you eliminate (排除) one of those things and are one step closer.
But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead   47  considering the consequences of a mistake.Quite the contrary, when you try something new, you   48   be willing to set some reasonable limits, so that in the event that it doesn’t   49  the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
We all have   50  resources in time and money, so don’t blow them all on one   51  to a problem.Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time, and allocate (分配)  these resources properly so you can learn,   52   corrections, and try it again.Only by  53    and using your mistakes in this way, can you make significant  54   in your business or career
As an old saying goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.”
So go  55  and make mistakes.And learn.And grow.And succeed.
