大量文学小说同读者达成了一个协议：要先克服某些困难和抵制心理，认真解读乃至忍受乏味，然后你才会获得报偿。

A lot of literary fiction strikes a bargain with the reader: you suck up a certain amount of difficulty, of resistance and interpretive work and even boredom, and then you get the payoff.

At some stage in our lives almost all of us will need to conquer our lack of confidence. (I've certainly been there!) the question is, how do you do it?
