A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work.
He may have the
36 that he is not capable (有能力的) of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make
37 of his mental faculties(官能). Older people may be mistaken that they are incapable of
38 anything new because of their age.
A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real

42 likely to fail, and the failure will
43 his belief in his incompetence(无能).

49 mistaken thinking of his ability, felt that it was useless to
50 , and was very poor at maths,
51 as they expected.
One day he worked out a problem which
52 of the other students had been able to solve.
Adler succeeded in solving the problem. This gave him confidence. He now
53 with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became especially good at
54 . He not only proved that he could learn maths well, but luckily he learned early in his life from his own experience that if a person goes at a job with determination and purpose, he may
55 himself as well as others by his ability. 36—40 ABBCA 41—45 BDBAC 46—50 DBADC 51—55 CABDA
