When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000 m race. My 36 was to pass out water to the runners. I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of 37 who passed by and 38 a cup of water. The next year I signed up for the 39 and gave it a shot.

The first 10,000 m race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. At times, I didn’t 40 if I could finish.

At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me very 41 , and I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than him and I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt 42 for a second.

But then I 43 something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had 44 capacities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my 45 was only to finish.

After a minute, it 46 me that this was a lesson I could draw from . I learned 47 about myself in that moment. I turned my 48 into inspiration.

I decided that I would not 49 running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and 50 properly and one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. As I 51 the finishing line, I was proud 52 my accomplishment.

Albert Einstein said, “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once __41 __, such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.
Several years ago, I spoke at a school about how we were surrounded by “___42___ ” if we could only recognize them. A man stopped by to see me, and I remembered him as somebody who had suffered through a(n) ___43___ divorce (离婚) and was examining what was most important to him. He took a small ___44___ out of his pocket. Here is what he said to me that day.
“I ___45___ on this stone when I was leaving church last Sunday. You had spoken about ___46___ opportunities—diamonds.

Not long afterward, he did find a new and better job. From then on, he decided to keep his stone with him all the time as a ___51___ to look for “diamonds” as he dug through the ___52___ of life.

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.
