14．Are you a compulsive spender，or do you hold on to your money as long as possible？Are you a bargain hunter？Would you rather use charge accounts than pay in cash？Your answers to these questions will reflect your personality．According to psychologists，our individual money habits not only show our beliefs and values，but can also stem from past problems．
Experts in psychology believe that for many people，money is an important symbol of strength and influence．Husbands who complain about their wives'spending habits may be afraid that they are losing power in their marriage．Wives，on the other hand，may waste huge amounts of money because they are angry at their husbands．In addition，many people consider money a symbol of love．They spend it on their family and friends to express love，or they buy themselves expensive presents because they need love．
People can be addicted to different things-for example，alcohol，drugs，certain foods，or even television．They are compulsive in their addictions，i．e．they must satisfy these needs to feel comfortable．In the same way，according to psychologists，compulsive spenders must spend money．
For people who buy on credit，furthermore，charge accounts are even more exciting than money：in other words，they feel that with credit，they can do anything．Their pleasures in spending enormous amounts are actually greater than those they get from the things they buy．
There is even a special psychology of bargain hunting．To save money，of course，most people look for sales，low prices，and discounts．Compulsive bargain hunters，however，often buy things that they don't need just because they are cheap．They want to believe that they are helping their budgets，but they are really playing an exciting game：when they can buy something for less than other people，they feel that they are winning．Most people，experts claim，have two reasons for their behavior：a good reason for the things that they do and the real reason．
It is not only scientists，of course，who understand the psychology of spending habits，but also business people．Stores，companies，and advertisers use psychology to increase business：they consider people's needs for love，power，or influence，their basic values，their beliefs and opinions，etc．in their advertising and sales methods．
Psychologists often use a method called"behavior therapy（疗法）"to help individuals solve their personality problems．In the same way，they can help people who feel that they have problems with money：they give them"assignments"If a person buys something in every store that he enters，for instance，a therapist might teach him self discipline in this way：on the first day of his therapy，he must go into a store，stay five minutes，and then leave．On the second day，he should stay for ten minutes and try something on．On the third day，he stays for fifteen minutes，asks the salesclerk a question，but does not buy anything．Soon he will learn that nothing bad will happen to him if he doesn't buy anything，and he can solve the problem of his compulsive buying．

13．When Siva Kalyan was born，his backbone was deformed（畸形的）resulting in a lifelong difficulty in walking．But that hasn't stopped the nine-year-old from becoming a prodigy（天才）．
Until he was three-and-a-half years old，Siva could not even crawl．Wanting the best treatment for their son，Siva's parents moved with him from India to Australia and later to the USA．
In the USA，his parents enrolled（使入学）him in the second grade based on his age．But his teachers soon realized they had a genius．Siva was then tested for the eighth grade，but it was soon found out that he was actually qualified for college courses．As one advanced course was not enough，the brilliant boy is now taking two courses from Stanford University．Due to the treatment he received，Siva's physical condition has improved as well．
But none of this"just happened"．It was his parents'understanding and correct guidance，and the loving care of his grandparents that contributed to the growth of the genius．Siva's highly educated and hardworking family has brought him up on the basis of certain principles．
The family believes that once a strong foundation is built for the child in English and mathematics，the child is equipped to master any other subject，law，history，or engineering．It is equally important to recognize the strengths of a child rather than forcing the child to do things that he may not want to do．
Siva's parents helped．Siva focus his energies on his strength，which is mathematics．At the same time they took care to see that he had friends to play with and enjoyed a few recreational activities．The only activity that's restricted for Siva is viewing television．Siva watches TV only for 30 minutes a day and video games are a bonus for special occasions．
Thanks to his mother who is a singer，Siva has also learned music and even won the first and second prize at two competitions．In sports，he likes to swim．He began to learn swimming to strengthen his muscles，and by the age of eight he was able to swim a kilometer in both the backstroke and the freestyle．
