Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to
16 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph
17 we realized we were
18 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $20 bill. I was so
19 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on
20 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.
21 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About half way through the meal, I
22 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just
23 out, and nobody had noticed, I felt terrible.
My conscience( 良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t
24 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and
25 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I
26 to give myself the pleasure of an ice-cream for
27 that someone would say, “ Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change
28 the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so
29 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was
30 of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “ Don’t think about it...”
I have learned two things from this
31 . Maybe I was a fool for
32 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 33 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience
34 up with you.
This reflect the saying, “ A coward(懦夫) dies a thousand deaths; a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “
35 ” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
