18．Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk，I went to a friend．He looked at me for a moment，and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had：Be bold and brave-and mighty（强大的）forces will come to your aid．
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past，it was seldom because I had tried and failed．It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all．On the other hand，whenever I had plunged into deep water，forced by courage or circumstance，I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again．
Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat．And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces．They are potential powers we possess：energy，skill，sound judgment，creative ideas-even physical strength greater than most of us realize．
Admittedly，those mighty forces are spiritual ones．But they are more important than physical ones．A college classmate of mine，Tim，was an excellent football player，even though he weighed much less than the average player．"In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player，who had nothing but me between him and our goal line，"said Tim．"I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet-and stopped him cold．"
Boldness-a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme-is not one that can be acquired overnight．But it can be taught to children and developed in adults．Confidence builds up．Surely，there will be setbacks（挫折）and disappointments in life； boldness in itself is no guarantee（保证）of success．But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds．
So，always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities-and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed．

14．Land Art，sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks，is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art，taking art out of the museum and into the outside world．Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale．Today，works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world，sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago．
Land Art，which is not necessarily unchangeable，can take a number of forms．For examples，in 1970Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty（螺旋状防波堤），made of a collection of stones and mud，in the Great Salt Lake．The American artist made a large jetty n a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake．
Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art，which can be created by moving parts around．People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art，like salt，which is added to the Spiral Jetty．It is possible to use plants．In all cases，Land Art is immovable．
Land Art is designed to gradually form，change，and eventually decay（衰落）．That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums．Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days．Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time，which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists．
