13、ure Your OpportunitiesThe air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain(支撑)them while they sit around
14、and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create succe
15、ss. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value.So many people are so anxious to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work.

18、go out to eat.When two couples go out together, we call it double dating. A friend might even arrange a blind date for you with someone you dont know. That doesnt mean you keep your eyes closed the whole evening! You just dont know who your partner will be until the time for the date. If someone ask

22、rn money to support their families. Another reason is that many parents think its useless for the girls to study and they would not like them to go to school. The third reason is that some children are not interested in their lessons, and would not like to go to school. In my opinion, all children i
