This is a good novel telling a story that a boy could not concentrate on many things and relied on "lucky" socks to make a success but finally he made it on his own. It made me realize how powerful the psychological suggestion is. To become stronger, one of the most important things that should be done is to tell yourself you can achieve the goal. Blindly depending on lucky items is not always a good idea. ( )
