We all have weaknesses and strengths—no matter who we are .Some get sick easily.
Some are

41 a school prize –giving ceremony and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft,
42 had a severe stutter (结巴 ) as a child .
43 allowing this to limit him , he chose to overcome it. Now he is a famous judge . Not only
44 he become successful, but he did so in a profession
45 he had to speak before others regularly. Had he not worked on his
