A Piece of Memories: Run, Forest! Run!

I have never been a good athlete. The only sport I play well is squash. But there is no doubt that I put my creativity in sports.

In the primary school, there weren't really a lot of different sports we could try. The one I still remember is running. The memory is actually not that nice, as I always finished last. But instead of giving up, I was thinking hard to make myself run faster. What I did was leaping like a deer. It's actually quite logical. At that time, I believed the burst of power in each leap by the thigh muscle would make me run faster. Of course, it didn't. First of all, I didn't have the thigh muscle like those in the deer. Secondly, when you're in the air, there is no power generated by your legs. Therefore, it's actually slower. Stupid...

But I didn't stop there. In the secondary school, my "creativity" continued. My theory was if leaning forward, my legs had to produce enough forward and upward force to keep my body from falling. As a result, it would force my muscle to outperform. Logical, isn't it? But the problem was I could not accelerate forever. Without acceleration, there is no more forward and upward force. And I fell. That was actually quite a painful experience. I lost 2 of my teeth. Sigh...

Lucky that there is no more Physical Education lesson in the University...

(Need to work harder on writing the dreams. It's much difficult to bring back dreams than memories!!!)
