One very cool day in the spring of the year, my father, who was a farmer, was ploughing, and I, nine years old, was 36 the horse．I didn't do the 37 very well as it was rather cold．It was a little 38 than I could do to manage the task．
"Dad," said I, "how long 39 I stay in field?"
"About an hour，" he answered．
An hour 40 a great while and I said, "I 41 I could go home now-my 42 aches."
"I am very sorry," said my father, "but can't you 43 till it is time to go home for dinner?"
"I think not－my headache is getting to be pretty 44 ."
"Well," said he, 45 me off the horse, doubting my disease was rather in my heart than my head, "you may go home．I don't want you to work 46 you are sick．Go straight home, and tell your mother that I say you must take a large bowl of rhubarb(大黄)．Tell her that I think it will 47 you much!"
There was no choice．I went home, of course, and I had to offer the 48 to my mother．I told her, 49 , that I thought my head was better, 50 not to take the terrible 51 ．But it was of no use and it was too late．She understood my case as 52 as my father did．She knew well enough my 53 was laziness．So she prepared a large bowl of rhubarb and I had to swallow all of it．Dear me! How bitter it was! I am sure I would rather ride the horse all day than to be doctored in that way．Since then I never told another 54 .

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked at me and said “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. several seconds all I could do was to stand there and down at him. My first thought was he must need while doing his homework he was trying to prepare me for some . Finally, I asked, “What was that all about?” “ .” He said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an . ”
The next day I his teacher at my office to find out more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had responded . “ Basically , most of the fathers had the same reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble. The point is,” the teacher explained, “feeling is an important part of . It’s something all human beings . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too that we don’t express those feelings.

Years ago, I worked at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus. One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was _that they could, at any time, break free, strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the for this.
He said, “When they were very young we used the size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can hold them, so they never try.”
Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you once before? Do you often tell “I cannot dance” or “I’m not good at math”?
These are of self limiting beliefs. You must realize you’re for them. A limiting belief that says you’re poor at math may have as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which you. The cool thing is that because you create the ___you can choose to change it! Here is how:
First, it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your , your subconsciousness will make this by driving you to act. That might be to take a math course or to go online help, etc. Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are .
This is such a simple process that you can it today. Don’t be like the poor elephant and make your life at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago.
