We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things off!” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 　11 .

These 　12 may come from stories about us that have been 　13 for years — often from as far back as childhood. These stories may have no 　14 in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will 　15 have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life. ” How did these expectations 　16 my development? I was never 　17 to work on cars or be

18 tools. When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!

Six years later, 　19 , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I 　20 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 　21 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob 　22 me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 　23 and told him about my poor 　24 on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 25 is it that you can solve complex mathematical problems, but you can’t solve 　26 mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I wasn’t 　27 from some sort of genetic defects. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 　28 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 　29 my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. 　30 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost anything we choose.

Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 36 his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always 37 his success to it.

At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree, 38 to return to the homeland, starting a company. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 39 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to 40 the routine customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 41 . Glen knew that whoever carried the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 42 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 43 fake（假货）. When he was 44 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 45 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces 46 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 47 . Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 48 . For many times of entry-exit 　49 , he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and 50 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 51 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he would be 52 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.

After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too. He said that this made a deep 53 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 54 , which he would remember as the 55 of his success forever.
