Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas––even physical strength greater than most of us realize. Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. ―In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,‖ said Tim. ―I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet––and stopped him cold.‖ Boldness––a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折 ) and disappointments in life。 boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds. So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. 32. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? A.
