Are You Committed to Skiing?

I asked Alexander: “Are you truly committed to skiing?

He held a book to cover his face and thought for a while, and gave me an affirmative answer.

So I said: “So you need to have a strong will to win. “

“Yes,” said Alexander, “I would like to win the championship, so that I could win the gold medal.”

I was so surprised and touched to hear what he said, as I have never known he is a kid with such strong will.

And he added: “And if I win the gold medal, I would make a fire and melt the medal and make them as ingots. So that I would become the richest man in the world.”

“What I need to do is to win several medals and a big fire.” He looked hopeful.

“And we’ve already got a big fire pit in the backyard.” His dad pointed at the Solo Stove.

Oh well, they are still the family I’ve known.
