We were stading at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small Italian towen not far from our home in Rome. I wondered what.
”Look down, Elsa,” father said. I gathered all My idea and looked down. I saw the square in the centre of the village. Then I saw the crisscross of twisting turning streets leading to the square. ”See, my dear,”father said gently. ”There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that . If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try others.”
In the year that followed, Ioften remember the lesson father sent me .I knew what I wanted to go in my life. I wanted to be a fashion designer. And on the way to my frist small success I found that road blocked. What could I do? Accept the road blocked and fail? Or use imagination and wait to find another road to my goal?
Central Park is a large public, urban park (843 acres or 3.41 km�0�5; a rectangle 2.5 statute miles by 0.5 statute mile, or 4 km × 800 m) in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. With about twenty-five million visitors annually, Central Park is the most visited city park in the United States, and its appearance in many movies and television shows has made it among the most famous city parks in the world. It is run by the Central Park Conservancy, a private, not-for-profit organization that manages the park under a contract with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
Central Park is bordered on the north by West 110th Street, on the west by Central Park West, on the south by West 59th Street, and on the east by Fifth Avenue. Along the park's borders, these streets are usually referred to as Central Park North, Central Park West, and Central Park South, respectively. (Fifth Avenue retains its name along the eastern border.)
The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, both of whom later created Brooklyn's Prospect Park. It has been a National Historic Landmark since 1963. While much of the park looks natural, it is in fact almost entirely landscaped and contains several artificial lakes, extensive walking tracks, two ice-skating rinks, a wildlife sanctuary, and grassy areas used for various sporting pursuits, as well as playgrounds for children. The park is a popular oasis for migrating birds, and thus is popular with bird watchers. The 6-mile (10 km) road circling the park is popular with joggers, bicyclists and inline skaters, especially on weekends and in the evenings after 7:00 p.m., when automobile traffic is banned.
