When I was 17, I met a famous doctor named Paul Bragg. He gave me one of the most valuable 1 of my life; a statement that was filled with words of power . To this very day, I still say it; I am a genius , and I apply my wisdom. 2 , I was a high school dropout (辍学学生) and was living in a tent in Hawaii. I had a very limited vocabulary and had never 3 reading a single book. When Dr Bragg taught me this statement, he held me to say it with feeling as if it were true and present. To do so seemed so far away from 4 that it was funny. After saying it many times, 5 , I began to feel what those powerful words meant. So every day I continued to say it, and it became easier to believe; I am a genius, and I apply my wisdom. It was two and a half years later when I really saw the 6 of the statement. I was sitting in a college library surrounded by fellow students whom I was helping with higher mathematics. I heard one of the students speak 7 to another, “John is really a genius ! At the moment, I 8 what Dr Bragg had taught me, and I decided to say this statement for the rest of my life. I can’t quite put into words what a(n) 9 this statement has made in my life. Because of it, I was able to change from a dropout to the top of my college classes. I think that the key to 10 is putting your true feelings into a statement you believe in and saying it every day.
