There was a sense of immense satisfaction when I learned how to ride a bicycle. It was a very pleasing moment, and I can remember the wide smile that was pasted on my face for quite a while. I felt like telling everyone that I could ride a bicycle, at last.
I did not expect to have a similar experience after all these years. After my good share of falling and rolling down the snowy slopes, I managed to ski today! It was a real nice experience. And it was just like how I learned cycling. All of a sudden, it seemed so natural. It was as if a switch turned on somewhere, and I started skiing comfortably. I felt like a little kid, trying to tell everyone that I could ski, after all! I took the lift back to the top of the hill a 5-6 times and tried a few more maneuvers, as I was very comfortable with my speed control and balance. I am now hoping to go back at least one more time to the ski resort, before the season is over.
