I can see how the youngster feels when he wins a race and is applauded and celebrated, but winning in a

race may feel joyous, but not in the race of life. Although taking first place may be really meaningful to
other people, it may also be isolating if you are the only one at the top. Some people might prefer not to
feel this way. For me, it is enjoyable to share in others' success celebrations. However, given that
everyone takes a different path through life, life might not be so kind as to bestow on everyone the
same kind of success. Referring to the idea that race and life can be related, the answer is yes. Even if
we may always want to cross the finish line first, the competition we face is more important. Do they
require aid? Or do we simply ignore them? The response could vary from person to person. What I learn
from seeing this video is that it's a great feeling when we pull each other up and don't bring each other
down. Additionally, it is not about how quickly we complete the race or how much of a thrill we
experience; rather, it is about taking the time to relish each moment and slow down so that we can see
the beauty of life.

I can relate to the boy’s feeling after being first in any race and getting cheered for and celebrating
winning, but winning in a race may feel so cheerful but not in the race called life. Winning first place may
be so important for others but it can be lonely as when you are the only one standing at the top. Some
may want this feeling, some may not. As for me, it is fun to have others celebrate success with them
involved. But life may not be that generous to give everyone the same type of success, as everyone has
different paths in life. Going back to the topic that life can be related to race, yes it can be. We might
always want to be first at the finish line, but more important is who we race against. Do they need help?
Or do we just pass them by? The answer may depend on each individual. What I realize in this video is
that it is an excellent emotion to feel when we help each other lift ourselves to success and not drag
each other down. Also, it is not how fast we finish the race, it’s not all about the rush it’s about time to
savor every moment and slow down for us to have a chance to appreciate life’s beauty.
