Question

    Sally loved cars more than anything else. This spring she thought of building a go­kart to enter for the Go­Go Race. So she asked her dad for help.

“Well，” he said. “You can do some research first and then come back to me with a design.”

A week later, Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her go­kart “Blue Lightning”. Dad looked over her work. “Well, that's interesting，” he said. “Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as you've designed.”

Over three weeks of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go­kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed.

After she did that, Sally drove back to Dad. She said, “Now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive. When I drove fast, there was a lot of pushback. Why didn't you tell me about that problem in the first place？”

Dad laughed. “If you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. But if you teach a man how to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime.”

Sally said, “I see. Anyway, designing is half the fun！”

Dad smiled. “Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way.”

That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder. When she showed Dad her new go­kart, he nodded with pride.

Finally came the race. Sally wasn't worried about whether she would win. In her mind, she had already won, by building something better than ever before.
