Being content with yourself and optimistic about your future is not difficult. Whatever is in the past is _
_36__. Learn from it and move on. When you are enough _
_37__to do this, you will see that moving ahead is the best definition of _
_38__.
What can you do now? Sure it is _
_39__ for me to tell you to forget the past, _
_40__ it is a whole different _
_41__ to actually do it. Life is a complex set of events much of which _
_42__ is real, but a large amount is just your _
_43__ of what really happened.
Let me _
_44__ with an example. I know not everyone is a football fan, but I am _
_45__ most have watched at least _
_46__of a game on TV. Most games and almost all the important games are _
_47__ over and over on the TV screen right after the game happened.
When you watched a game, you were _
_48__ of the outcome, saying the player _
_49__ the ball. Then while watching the instant replay, you realized you were _
_50__ wrong. The player dropped the pass. What you were certain of never happened.
In order to _
_51__ on your future, you should try to minimize the effects of your past. Try to find out how much of the past that you are certain are just _
_52__. For example, as a teenager, you tried to build a piece of furniture in your father’s workshop. The piece of furniture looked _
_53__ when you finished, but it fell apart before you could _
_54__ it to your father. The reality was that the wood you used was faulty. It was not your building ability. So don’t think yourself to be a _
_55__ carpenter (木匠) and avoid building anything. Forget the past and move on.
