Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to 1 our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy. For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they 2 As a member of that group, you would likely 3 that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be 4 to really get behind yourself. Because you might fear that your 5 would not pay off. Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not born 6 would probably stop your trying.

And in both cases, 10 plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something. One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable 11 we sometimes think. There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our 12 in, such as passion, feeling, and sense. Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain, trusting their sense over the 13 opinion held by ordinary people about what will work.In the same way, we can learn to trust our hearts desires and our sense to guide us, 14 any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves.

(40 points)Text 1Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone, not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age, and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports werent written until the final threat.Ive been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her masters degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student (技校学生).Theyre called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, hes a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they dont often make school honor rolls.But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices dont have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it, but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son, with other motorheads, fixed the car. They got parts from a junkyard, and ability from vo-tech classes. The cost was $25 instead of $800.Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repair to him.T
