A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
可能性
Possibility
The possibility of saying anything about a thing rests on the assumption that it preserves its identity, or continues to be the same thing in the respect described, that it will behave in future situations as it has in past.
关于一件事说任何话的可能性是建立在这样一个假设之上，即它保持其同一性，或在所描述的方面继续是同一件事，即它在未来的情况中将象过去一样行事。
A lot of amateurs are terrified of going up against a player who is clearly better than they are. They never play their best, because they aren't comfortable. There's one surefire way to get over that, and it's to ask yourself, 'What if I beat him?' Imagine the possibility.
很多业余选手都害怕和一个明显比自己优秀的选手比赛。他们从来没有发挥出最好的水平，因为他们感到不舒服。有一个确定无疑的方法可以克服这个问题，那就是问问自己，‘如果我打败了他呢?“想象一下这种可能性。
