Question

Being content with yourself and optimistic about your future is not difficult. Whatever is in the past is   36  .Learn from it and move on. When you are   37   enough to do this, you will see that moving ahead is the best definition of living   38  .

What can you do now? Sure it is   39   for me to tell you to forget the past， 40  it is a whole   41   to actually do it. Life is a complex set of events, much of which  42  is real, but a large amount is just your  43  of what really happened.

Let me  44  with an example. I know not everyone is a football fan, but I am  45  most have watched at least  46  of a game on TV. Most games and almost all the important games are  47  over and over on the TV screen right after the game happened.

When you watched a game, you were  48  of the outcome, saying the player  49  the ball. Then while watching the instant replay, you realized you were  50  wrong. The player dropped the pass. What you were certain of never happened.

In order to  51  on your future, you should try to minimize the effects of your past. Try to find out how much of the past that you are certain are just  52 . For example, as a teenager, you tried to build a piece of furniture in your father's work­shop. The piece of furniture looked  53  when you finished, but it fell apart before you could  54  it to your father. The reality was that the wood you used was faulty. It was not your building ability. So don't think yourself to be a  55  carpenter (木匠) and avoid building anything. Forget the past and move on.
