As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me
some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so
much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes
on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains (窗
帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder
than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so
that the"enemy(敌人)" would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every
morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the
buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other
strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn"t let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others.
Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes (过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the
things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

举一反三
When I was a teenager, I could not wait to leave home. I did not want to follow any rules, and I was
as angry as the burning sun in the summer sky.
But then, I learned to think carefully before doing anything. Both good and bad things in the past became
parts of my life, like autumn harvests for a farmer.
Now I am old. My body is weak, but my mind has become strong and clear because of those experiences
in my younger days. I am like a winter leaf, ready to take a good rest.
These are the four seasons of my life.

Many people are afraid to assert themselves (坚持主见). Dr. Alberti, author of Stand Up and Speak Out,
thinks it"s because their self-respect (自尊心) is low. "Our whole system (体制) of society is designed to
make people less confident," says Alberti. "There"s always a person who knows more and better around us-a
parent, a teacher or a boss. These people often chip away at (削弱) our self-image (自我形象)."
To help people assert themselves, Alberti and other scientists offer AT courses where people learn that
they have a right (权利) to do so. They learn to speak out and feel good doing so. They learn to be more
active without hurting other people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to get over fear. A group taking an AT course will help the shy person
lose fear. And AT even encourages the need to share (分享) so that even the shy person wants to tell others
how he feels.
Whether you speak out depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more "important" than you,
you may be afraid to do so. But, why should you? AT says once you can learn to speak out, you will gradually
feel good about yourself.
