My mom is a great cook. Things about the things she cooked made my mouth 41 . But when putting a beef steak in her pan, she 42 into the anti-cook. She could turn the best beef into something with the flavor of shoe leather.
Yesterday my brother Bud took me out for lunch and 43 steaks. I wasn’t 44 , but since he was paying I figured I could choke down a few 45 . When the waitress served our steaks, I was 46 at how good they smelled. Mom’s steak never 47 like that. The first bite was a wonderful flavor. Suddenly I 48 why others spoke of steak fondly.
“You know,” I said to Bud, patting my 49 contentedly(满足地). “I used to think Mom was a great cook. But it’s hard to believe her steak come from the same 50 as these steaks.”
“Mom is a great cook,” Bud said. “But think about it. She 51 during the Great Depression.” That’s when she learned to cook. 52 do you think they had steak? Probably never. It’s only been recently that they could 53 to buy steak. It’s just that she hasn’t had a lot of 54 cooking steak.
It suddenly 55 to me that nobody was perfect. Sandy Koufax was a great pitcher(投手), but he still 56 87 games. Luciano Pavarotti was a great singer, but he occasionally 57 with his lower register(音域). Our strengths have elements of weakness. That is why great athletes still 58 and great actors still rehearse(排练). Because when it comes to it, greatness isn’t something we are; It is something we 59 . And that process of becoming includes learning and growing through both 60 and failure.
