Flying a kite

When someone says,"Go fly a kite!" he is telling you off,implying that you are being naive.
But I find flying a kite is not simple at all,there is a great deals of lessons to be learned by doing it.
First of all, you have to learn the skill to make a kite that will fly,it should not be too heavy yet strong enough to withstand strong wind up in great height,so you must learn how to pick the right materials.A balanced kite is equally important,you have to learn to test it before taking it out to the field.
Secondly,you must know where to fly a kite.It got to be a open space safe to run about bare footed:without holes,pieces of broken glass,wire or ropes and creepers to trip you over.It is like a runway for an aircraft.
Thirdly,you will learn to pick the best time to fly a kite.Do not fly on a dead,raining day.Wait for a windy,bright sunny day.The strong wind will lift the kite up easily,and you do not have to worry about your kite being damaged by rain water also.
The most important lesson of all,is that you will learn to persevere.If the kite does not take off smoothly or nose-dived to the ground,you will pick up the kite,repair the damages if any,you will try to figure out the causes of the failure."Is it due to defects in the construction of the kite? Or is it because I was running too slow? Or is it because I was running at the wrong direction in relation to the wind?...".You will try again and again until you succeeded to fly the kite to a great height.Imagine the joy and sweet taste of success!
Isn't it the most important lesson everybody must learn in life?
