For our family vacations when our children were younger, we often went river rafting. Rafting meant we could be together as a family,    16   with the beauty of nature, and meet other people. Plus, it was     17    , and being on the river meant our family never had to ask that     18    of questions: “What are we going to do today?” It was always clear —     19    the boat and paddle downstream! This was our method for strengthening family bonds with less     20    .

We also found that the river is always a great     21    . For example, sometimes your boat goes through a particularly difficult rapid and you find yourself thrown out of the boat and into the water. When this happens, sometimes you get caught in a     22    , where the water is churning（搅动）back upstream. What do you do? The natural tendency is to crazily attempt to swim     23    , but in this situation, the water is circulating backward,     24    you are actually swimming against the current. This is very dangerous; it is quite possible to     25    yourself and be unable to get out of the hole. Unfortunately, people have     26    this way. However, if you give up swimming and     27    , the water pulls you in and for an instant takes you upstream. Usually, this is enough for you to be     28    “spit out” of the hole.

A     29    situation came up in a recent coaching meeting I had with a high-ranking engineer of a Fortune 100 company, who described his week as feeling as though he were “swimming upstream.” The more     30    he felt, the harder he worked, and the less time he spent with his managers, and with his family. He was unaware that he had become so     31    in fighting the daily battles that he had completely    32    the larger stream, the more vital     33    of his leadership role.

Be aware of     34    you place your attention. If you become distracted, keep returning to your point of     35    .
