I remember when she read the letter I became frightened; I could picture us starving to death
32、 and all sorts of things that could come to a childs mind. My mother did not appear to be worried, however, and seemed to be quite calm about the matter. I, on the other hand, cried myself to sleep, wondering what would become of our family. Mother said God would not fail her, that he never had. I c
33、ouldnt see how God was going to help us keep this old sewing machine. The day the men were to come for our only means of support, there was a knock at the kitchen door.

39、g some of your goals, but not others? If you arent sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer that you are born predisposed to certain tale
40、nts and lacking in others is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 361. Get specific.

42、e, its not surprising that we routinely miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means grabbing hold of these opportunities before they slip through
43、your fingers.3. Know exactly how far you have left to go. Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring of your progress if not by others, then by you yourself. If you dont know how well you are doing, you cant adjust your behavior or your strategies accordingly.39It is my hope that
