问题     A powerful personal growth tool is the 30-day trial. This is a concept I borrowed from the shareware industry, where you can【W1】______a trial version of a piece of software and try it out risk-free for 30 days before you’re required to buy the【W2】______version. It’s also a great way to develop new【W3】______, and best of all, it’s brain-dead simple. Let’s say you want to start a new habit like an exercise program or【W4】______a bad habit like sucking on cancer sticks. We all know that getting【W5】______and sticking with the new habit for a few weeks is the hard part. Once you’ve overcome inertia, it’s much easier to keep going. Yet we often psyche ourselves out of getting started by【W6】______thinking about the change as something【W7】______before we’ve even begun. It seems too overwhelming to think about making a big change and【W8】______with it every day for the rest of your life when you’re still habituated to doing the【W9】______. The more you think about the change as something permanent, the more you【W10】______where you are. But what if you thought about making the change only【W11】______say for 30 days — and then you’re free to go back to your old habits? That doesn’t seem so hard anymore. Exercise daily for just 30 days, then quit. Maintain a【W12】______organized desk for 30 days, then slack off. Read for an hour a day for 30 days, then go back to watching TV.
    Could you do it? It still【W13】______a bit of discipline and commitment, but not nearly so much as making a permanent change. Any【W14】______deprivation is only temporary. You can【W15】______down the days to freedom. And for at least 30 days, you’ll gain some benefit. It’s not so bad. You can handle it. It’s only one month out of your life.
