On Saturday morning, I excitedly unpacked the ROKR-AK47 assembly model gift from my good friend Michelle. Faced with the complicated instructions and fragile parts, I soon encountered difficulties: assembly errors. After several failures, I angrily swept the semi-finished product to the ground.
Michelle came to visit at the right time. After seeing the mess on the floor, she did not laugh, but shared her experience of spending three weeks to assemble the model. She found a video tutorial for me and suggested taking it step by step. The two of us started over again, and I learned to assemble patiently, and finally completed the exquisite model in the evening.
Touching the repair marks on the model, I realized that the real sense of accomplishment comes from the process of overcoming difficulties. Not only did I get a perfect work, but I also learned the value of patience and persistence, and even began to look forward to challenging the next more complex model. This gift brought me much more than I imagined.
