Some minutes ago when I was going to buy something for dinner, I faced a scene which was enough important to write some line about it.

There was a 7-year-old boy who was playing with a ball with himself. He just was kicking the ball, then running to get that. First I passed it, but I thought, it is a kind of silly. He kicked the ball as hard as he could, so it took more energy of him to reach the ball, however he could do it with less energy. I decided to tell him this, so I got back to him and told him. I got so surprised at his answer. He said "You know why? 'cause I enjoy following the ball, so I try to kick the ball harder to have more fun. It's exciting. Wanna experience it?" I accepted. I kicked the ball very hard, and then ran to get it. Also I couldn't enjoy it as he could, but the important thing was that, I did my best and got the ball. It made me happy, although it took me some energy; it was worth a try at least just for the smile that appeared on my face when I got the ball. 

The point is here, sometimes we give our efforts up, because we can do it with less energy, but we suppose to forget that we can enjoy it more when we try more. Or sometimes we give our efforts up, because we reach a part of our aim, and it not important for us to continue our duties. 

It's a lesson that we can get from that 7-year-old boy.

Wanna enjoy your life more? Kick the ball harder next time.

Hey Mehdi!``

i had to say u'r good at finding knowledge from usual life.Although they are very tiny.

 Always we can find some truce from the little things .

and we will come about many thoughts about it .

To be a careful man ,u will find more worthwhile things from the life .

And in my view ,i agree with ur idea . i can learn from ur passage that if u want to take more u have to put more.
