Directions: In this section, you will hear a short passage. There are ten missing words in it. Fill in the blanks with the exact words you hear on the tape.
If there is any single (21) that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and (22) profit by it in his next (23) . Confuse defeat with failure, and you are (24) indeed to failure. For it isn’t defeat that makes you fail: it is your own (25) to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.
Defeats are nothing to be (26) of. They often occur in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it, analyze it and learn why you are defeated. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing can (27) within us such a compelling (28) to success. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more and more (29) until his whole weight is suspended. It is the same (30) which should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you make the best of the power which defeat gives, you can succeed with it far more than you are capable of.
