If

11、 we can convince you that anyone can learn math, it should be a short step to convincing you that you can learn just about anything, if you work hard enough.”Psychologist Carol Dweck took on the task of convincing a group of students that if they worked hard they could become smarter.

BNick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but the brave 32yearold man plays football and golf, swims, and surfs. Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance

17、and enables him to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes. “I call it my chicken drumstick，” joked Nick. “Id be lost without it. When I get in the water I float because 80 per cent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller (螺旋桨)”When N

18、ick was born, his father was so shocked he left the hospital room to vomit. His distraught mother couldnt bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.“It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent.
