Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe．I had been abroad a couple of times， 36 I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent．Moreover， my  37 of foreign languages was  38 to a little college French．
I  39 ．How would I，unable to speak the language and totally  40 with local geography or transportation systems，  41 interviews and do research? It seemed  42 ，and with much regret I sat down to write a letter begging  43 ．Halfway through，a thought ran through my mind：you can’t learn if you don’t  44 ．So I accepted the assignment.
There were some bad news. But by the time I had  45 the trip I was an experienced 46 ．And ever since，I have never hesitated to  47 for even the most remote places，without guides or even  48 bookings，confident that somehow I will  49 .
The point is that the new，the  50 ，is almost by definition scary．But each time you try 51 ，you learn，and as the learning piles up，the world  52 to you.
I’ve  53 to ski at 40，and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon．And I know I’ll go on doing such things．It’s not because I’m  54 or more daring than others. I’m not. But I’ll accept anxiety as another name for  55 and I believe I can accomplish wonders．
