If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.
Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（積極的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.
When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨詢）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.
She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourselves.
The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.

As my friend was passing some elephants，he suddenly stopped．He was confused by the fact that these huge animals were being held by nothing but a small rope．The rope was tied to their front legs． It was ?? that the elephants could break away from the ropes at any time．But for some ? ?? ? ，they did not．

My friend saw a trainer nearby and asked why these elephants just stood there and didn't?? ?? ?? to get away．

“Well，” he said，“when they are very ?? ?? ?? and much smaller，we use the same size rope to tie them．At that age，it's enough to hold them．As they grow up，they are used to ? ?? ? that they cannot break away．They believe the rope can? ?? ? hold them，so they never try to break free．”

My friend was amazed．These animals could at any time break free， ?? ?? because they believed they couldn't，they were stuck right where they were．

Like the elephants，how many of us go? ?? ?? life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something，simply because we? ?? ? at it once before? How many of us are being held back by old，outdated?? ?? ?? that no longer serve us?
