A man and his little son spent their summer vacation walking through the mountains far from their city. One day, the little boy slipped 20-30 meters down the side of the mountain. Finally he was able to grab onto a tree branch and hold on.

“Help me!” he cried out.

“Help me!” a voice shouted back.

The boy was very surprised. “Who are you?” he shouted.

“Who are you?” the voice shouted back.

“You are a fool!” he said.

“You are a fool!” the voice came back.

At that moment, his father got to him. “Someone is talking to me but I can’t see who he is,” the boy said to his father.

“Son, that is called an echo(回音),” his father said. “But really, it’s called life.”

“You are a winner!” the father cried.

“You are a winner!” the voice answered.

“You are talented!” the father shouted.

“You are talented!” it came back.

“Son, that’s how life is. Whatever you do, it always comes back to you,” the father said. “The question is: what are you sending out about? Please start sending out: ‘I am strong, I am talented, and I am the best.’ What you send out is going to come back to you.”
