Barry was on the phone in his office, speaking with confidence, energy and passion．Outside there was a car waiting．
Just then a tall man in a dark suit 1 the building with a gun．After the man found Barry finished his 2 and hung up, he took out the gun．
Barry reached 3 his pocket to find his key-ring．He selected the car key and reluctantly （不情愿地） handed it 4 ．The man in the suit grabbed （抢去） it 5 walking outside and driving off at a high speed in the 6 ．
John walked in to see Barry just as all of this 7 ．He was surprised at how relaxed and 8 Barry was facing the situation．John was here to collect an unpaid debt．Now John changed his mind．So John and Barry did a deal． 9 Barry would teach him how he could be so 10 in the face of pressure then the 11 would be regarded as paid．
This is what Barry said to him:
The big secret in life is to train your 12 to think only about what you want to happen and to keep your thoughts off what you do not want．Always keep your mind 13 what you really want and think about where you want to be and not 14 you are．Stress is what happens when you put your 15 on the wrong things．
And now over to you． 16 more time each day spotting what you think about, you will likely find that you often run through all the things that could go 17 as well as seeing situations working out as being only OK．
Get into the 18 of expecting things to work out and you will find yourself picturing life running more 19 ．You will then feel more confident, people will 20 to you differently and you will get better results．
