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.
