There are several incidents that still linger in my mind, even though they happened a very long time ago. They happened when I was a child, in fourth grade. There are also incidents that were no less significant, but I can't remember them, even though they happened as an adult. I don't really understand the memory in our brains. Sometimes it can copy them clearly even though it's been decades, and sometimes, even though it's only been a year, we no longer remember them.

"fear" Of course, we've all felt incredible fear when something happens to us. However, we must still do something to change our perspective from a frightening thing to a lesson that can strengthen us and lead us to success, and change our mindset to become a thinker, not a fool.

That incident still resonates with me to this day and I still remember it clearly. I was only 10 years old, living in the village with my uncle. At that time, I really enjoyed fishing in the swamps, as did the other children. Other children of the same age, we fished almost every day.

One day, I set up a fishing rod in a swamp I didn't frequent, so I wasn't familiar with the situation there. I set up several traditional fishing rods with the goal of catching a large snakehead fish. After I finished, I immediately went home and left the rods overnight.

The next morning, after waking up, I rushed to check my fishing rods to see if I had caught any large fish. After checking everything, I found I hadn't caught any. As I was looking at my last rod, the incident happened very quickly. Suddenly, a leech approached me. I was in the water at the depth of my midsection. It suddenly entered my pants and, strangely, it immediately entered my uncircumcised penis. I was wearing shorts and no underwear.

I immediately rushed to the shore, holding my penis. I was very scared. I tried to remove the leech, but it was too slippery, and it slipped further into my penis and disappeared. I immediately screamed and cried because it was too early and no one heard me. I thought to myself, "I'm going to die today," because I'd heard people say that if a leech enters your body, you'll die because it sucks all your blood.

I immediately went home, running to get my bicycle, which I had left at the end of the road. I didn't tell anyone, I was only focused on getting home. I couldn't give up. I had to be strong and immediately pedaled my bicycle for about 200 meters. I arrived at the main road, the rocky and potholed road made my bicycle bounce around. For some reason, I suddenly glanced down at my thigh and saw something falling out of it. I immediately stopped and checked it. It turned out to be a leech just like the one that had entered my penis. Then I took a rock and hit it until the mark disappeared.

Immediately, I was relieved and able to take a deep breath. I was very grateful. I didn't know why the leech fell off on its own. Two perceptions made me doubt the leech's removal from my penis. On one hand, I thought the leech fell off because of the excessive shaking from pedaling my bike on a rocky and potholed road. On the other, I thought it was because my urine bag contained urine, which has a distinctive odor and contains various substances that could make the leech uncomfortable and immediately fall off.

Since that incident, I've stopped leaving my underwear on. I wear underwear wherever I go, even now. This incident made me realize how important underwear is.
