2.Those who believe that they will never do well in a particular area probably never will.Those who believe they are not good at anything will forever feel unprepared.But those who believe that it is possible to succeed at what they attempt can surprise themselves.Adam was ready to retire.His wife Anna,however,was less enthusiastic.As she explained to a friend,"Adam has never done anything that required physical strength.When he retires,he will sit in his easy chair and expect me to bring him his food."
But to Anna's surprise,soon after her husband retired,he joined a health club.And one night,when Adam arrived home from exercise class,he announced,"I signed up for the wrestling tournament.I am going to wrestle Friday night."Anna was shocked."Please don't do it,Adam,"she begged."You're not in shape.You will be so beat up that they will have to carry you home!"However,he couldn't be persuaded and she told him that if he went through with his"lame idea",she was not going to watch.
True to her word,she stayed away as Adam wrestled.And just as she predicted,two men practically carried Adam home.He lay down on the couch,every muscle pained and wounded.Before she could speak,he blurted out,"Don't say a word,Anna!This is not the worst of it.I won tonight.I have to wrestle again tomorrow night!"
Nothing changes in your life until you believe you can do things that are important to you.And if you have a low opinion of yourself,nobody else is likely to raise it.

Cultual Breaks by Brian Aldiss Reviewed by Paul Kincaid Brian Aldiss is an amazing and frustrating writer.When he is on song,his style is forceful,disturbing and delectable.But he is a restless writer.He came into his own in the enthusiastic and experimental atmosphere of the New Wave,and he has been driven to try the new and the different ever since.That he is still experimenting now,50years after his first appearance,is a measure of a man who has never been prepared to settle back on his laurels. | |
The Secrets of Jin-Shei by Alma Alexander Reviewed by Donna McMahon With so many fantasy novels using European-derived settings and mythology,ancient China makes a refreshing change.The landscape is tempting and yet familiar enough to feel very real,and the author uses magic sparingly,in ways appropriate to her society.This and the complex detail put into the backdrop makes the novel feel very much like historical fiction. | |
