Once I was 6 a week’s training course with about forty 7 sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was 8 behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t 9 my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been 10 about it all week. Have you got a sister 　　11 Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer 12 June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought 13 .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for 14 company but in a different part of the country. That was 15 she came to be at the training center.

I walked on the 　 48　 and looked around and thought about how　 49　 the experience was. I even found myself jumping up and down. There was no 50　 , and it was certainly an illusion.

I considered how many things in our lives we 51　 and exactly how many of them are actually illusions. I thought about all the things we 　52　 ourselves from doing because we have　 53　 ourselves into thinking there’s risk. I thought about all the things that I still have yet to do that appeared 54　 . I was glad to discover that although fear isn’t a stranger to me, my desire to live a life without 　 55　 has a much stronger pull.
