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   1 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe    ___2  .

These comments may come from stories about us that have been  3  for many years—often from  4  childhood. These stories may have no  5  in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations  6  my development? I was never  7  to work on cars or be around  8  . 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,  9  , I was at California University, working on my doctors 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  10  down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the  11  side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life  12 and told him about my  13  performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  14  is it that you can solve   15  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t  16  from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to  17  . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been  18  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.  19  , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost  20  we choose.
