B
I once wrote a poem called Flying Kites, in which a man teaches his son to fly a kite. The childsuddenly drops the string and lets the kite fly high up in the sky. With joy in his eyes, the child watchesit climb until it disappears in the distance. Right then, the father realizes that someday he will have toloosen the string that ties him to his son, too. But he also wonders, “ Will I release the string asunselfishly as that?"Years later, my son, Frank, announced that he wouldn't finish his college. I tried to talk him out ofit. But none of my reasoning made any difference. At the end of the term, Frank moved back home.Frank managed to find a job at a nursery, and enjoyed dealing with lots of children every day.I,however, was deeply disappointed. What was a college professor's son doing at a job that any high schooldropout could perform? Then I tried to persuade him.“Look!” I said, “In a few years, you will be at your high school reunion with former classmates whobecame lawyers, doctors and engineers. Do you think you will be able to handle that?”“Yes, Dad!"he replied without hesitation. Then he fixed his eyes on mine and said, “But the realquestion is: Can you?"Shame suddenly silenced me--I wasn't thinking about my son while I was thinking about myself andwhat my friends would think. The problem wasn't Frank's pride. It was mine. All at once, I rememberedmy poem and the question--"Will I release the string as unselfishly as that?"At that moment,I knew I had to let go.Frank was old enough to make his own choices.
　　Today,Frank has a successful career.I am very proud of who he has become.Since I let go of my pride,I have been able to sit back and enjoy watching him fly high.
