Recent studies show that only one out of three people have strong and healthy self-confidence. That  36 two out of every three people simply don’t know the 37 they already have to be successful when it’s  38 there in their hands!  39 if you want others to believe in you, you have to believe in yourself first. Remember: “No one can make you feel inferior (差的) unless you  40 them.” A successful businessman says, “You can’t push anyone up a ladder  41 he knows he can climb himself.”

Many of us have an image  42 , the image（形象）we have of ourselves.  43 one guy put it: “You can’t win a horse race if you think you look  44 on a horse.” To succeed, the first person you have to  45 is yourself! So stop believing your own lies about yourself. Just  46 your mind and you’ll change your life.

One of the most harmful weapons that can kill your success in life is the two little words:“47 ”. You know that people used to   48 that if human beings traveled faster than 30 miles an hour it would  49 our circulation（循环）of blood and kill us? Thank goodness a few people didn’t believe that  50 thinking, or we wouldn’t be riding in cars, buses, and flying in airplanes today. You’ll never know until you  51 .

Roger Bannister was the first human being to run a mile in less than 4 minutes. But  52 he did it, most people in the world didn’t think it was even   53 Yet only weeks after Bannister did it, suddenly  54 all over the world began running a mile in less than 4 minutes! If we believe something can be done, we’ll  55  do it.

My friend, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her month-long stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom—Alex—used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he’d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it. The book he handed to Emma just minutes later was Markings, a book by a former Secretary— General of the United Nations (UN).

Emma had never read it, nor had she ever bought a copy. But, when she opened it up, she was floored to see her own name and address inside the cover in her own handwriting. It turned out that the summer before, at a concert back in Montreal, Emma had met a Californian who was in town visiting friends. They decided to exchange addresses, but neither of them had any paper. The man opened up a book he was carrying in his backpack(背包) and asked Emma to write her name and address inside. When he returned to California, he left the book behind in Montreal, and his friend Alex kept it. When Alex later moved to Jerusalem, he took the book along.
