There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a ___1___ that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose ___2___ improve, and the foreigner who learns a new language--all these ___3____ of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast (对照), the ___4___ of personal growth is much more difficult to ___5___, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or ___6___ along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they ___7___ new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new ___8___ to accept.In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a (an) ___9___ to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "___10___" at first.

If so, then we tend to take more changes and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we're shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to ___12___, to move slowly, and we think we're slow to adapt to change or that we're not ___13___ enough to deal with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and ___14___ are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become ___15___ inside a shell of our own making.1.

This kind of loneliness is not ___1___. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years.
