　　《世界上最伟大的励志故事》：
　　then this assurance. It had to start with themost elementary things. Once a man gaveme an indoor baseball. I thought he wasmocking me and I was hurt. "I can't usethis." I said. "Take it with you，" he urgedme， "and roll it around." The words stuckin my head. "Roll it around！" By rolling theball I could hear where it went. This gaveme an idea how to achieve a goal I hadthought impossible: playing baseball. AtPhiladelphia's Overbrook School for theBlind I invented a successful variation ofbaseball. We called it ground ball.
　　All my life I have set ahead of me aseries of goals and then tried to reach them，one at a time. I had to learn my limitations.It was no good to try for something I knewat the start was wildly out of reach becausethat only invited the bitterness of failure.I would fail sometimes anyway but on theaverage I made progress.
　　I believe I made progress more readilybecause of a pattern of life shaped by certainvalues. I find it easier to live with myselfif I try to be honest. I find strength in thefriendship and of people.
