  After the First World War, a small group of old soldiers returned to their village in Britain.Most of them managed to   1   fairly well, but one-Francis Binstering, who had been wounded and never recovered his   2  -was unable to work regularly.  3   he became very poor.Yet he was too   4   to accept anything from the people in the village.

  Once these old soldiers held a reunion dinner in the home of Jules Grandin, who had made   5   money.Grandin produced a curiosity(稀奇的东西)-a large old   6   coin.Each man examined it with   7   as it passed around the long table.All,   8  , had drunk wine freely and the room was full of noisy talk,   9   the gold piece was soon forgotten.Later, when Grandin   10   it and asked for it, the coin was gone.

  One of them suggested everyone be searched,   11   which all agreed, except Blustering.“You   12  , then?” asked Grandin.Blustering said with a red face, “Yes, I cannot allow it.”

  One by one, the others turned out their pockets.When the coin was   13   to appear, attention was ?focused? on poor Blustering.Under the   14   stares of his friends, he walked out and returned to his home.

  A few years later, Grandin had his house repaired.A workman found the gold coin.  15   in dirt between planks(板)of the floor.Hurrying to Blustering’s home, Grandin apologized to him.

  “But why didn’t you allow yourself to be   16  ?” Grandin asked.

  “Because I was a   17  ,” Blustering said brokenly.“For weeks we had not enough to eat and my pockets were full of   18  , that I had taken from the table to   19   home to my wife and   20   children.”

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   1 !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe    ___2  .

These comments may come from stories about us that have been  3  for many years—often from  4  childhood. These stories may have no  5  in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations  6  my development? I was never  7  to work on cars or be around  8  . 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,  9  , I was at California University, working on my doctors 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  10  down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the  11  side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life  12 and told him about my  13  performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  14  is it that you can solve   15  mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t  16  from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to  17  . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been  18  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.  19  , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost  20  we choose.
