题目内容
When I was growing up，I was ashamed to be seen with my father.He was severely disabled and very short，and when we would walk together，his hand on my arm for balance（平衡），people would stare.If he ever noticed or was bothered，he never let on.
It was difficult to coordinate(协调)our steps—his slow，mine impatient—and because of that，we didn't say much as we went along.But as we started out，he always said，“You set the pace.I will try to adjust（适应） to you.”
He never talked about himself as an object of pity，nor did he show any envy(羡慕) of the more fortunate(好运) or able.What he looked for in others was a “good heart”，and if he found one，the owner was good enough for him.
Now that I am older，I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people，even though I still don't know accurately what a “good heart” is.But I know the times I don't have one myself.
Unable to engage（从事） in many activities，my father still tried to participate in some way.I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me，his only son.When I played ball (poorly)，he “played” too.When I joined the Navy，he “joined” too.And when I came home on leave，he saw to it（务必要） that I visited his office.Introducing me，he was really saying，“This is my son，but it is also me，and I could have done this，too，if things had been different.” Those words were never said aloud.
He has been gone many years now，but I think of him often.I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks.If he did，I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was，how unworthy I was，how I regretted it.I think of him when I complain about small affairs，when I am envious（羡慕） of another's good fortune，when I don't have a “good heart”．
At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance，and say，“You set the pace.I will try to adjust to you.”

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 31 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe 32 .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been 33 for years—often from 34 childhood. These stories may have no 35 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 never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations 36 my development? I was never 37 to work on cars or be around 38 . 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, 39 , 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 40 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 41 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 42 and told him about my 43 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 44 is it that you can solve 45 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 46 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 47 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 48 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. 49 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 50 we choose.
