On the positive side, I 45 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the 46 side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life 47 and told him about my 48 performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ 49 is it that you can solve 50 mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t 51 from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to 52 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been 53 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. 54 , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost 55 we choose.

Australia's Opera House and Harbor Bridge are going to be joined by a new landmark after the local government approved a ￡330 million, l5-hectare (公顷) Chinese-themed park including a full-sized copy of the gates to Beijing's Forbidden City. The park, to be built in Wyong Shire, about 50 miles north of Sydney, will also have a nine-story temple housing a giant Buddha and a mini-city modeled on Chinese water towns.
