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.

Make the right choices
What is life’s greatest gift? 【小题1】______ Choice is the ability to select one course of action from a set of alternatives to achieve a goal. What is so great about choice? It transforms us from dumb animals into artists. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt (雕刻）our life. The tool doesn’t come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility. 【小题2】______ The reward is happiness.
Life is not still. It is a flow. 【小题3】______ We constantly need to monitor where we are on
our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.
【小题4】______ And your life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to   36  a different life. It was a transitional（过渡的）time in Daniel's life. I wanted to    37   him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the    38  time I had let such moments pass.

When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked   39   the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar   40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him    41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42  me.

Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43   opportunities. How many times have I let such moments   44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have  45  to me. Or what he might   46   to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?    47   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always    48   never hearing him put his   49    into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   50  to tell a son something from the heart?

My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world    51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was    52  of was the stubble（短须）on his chin as his face pressed   53   mine. What I had said to Daniel was   54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was  55  .
