21、Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.
——John Wooden
Things aren’t always going to work out as you planned. 【1】 During these times, it can be easy to give up and drown yourself in self pity.
【2】 When it happens, you really have two choices. One is to blame your circumstances on other people. The other is to figure out how to use your situation to your advantage.
Say you just got laid off. One reaction is to curse the economy and sink into a depression. 【3】 Let’s say you’ve done what you could and after a year, you still haven’t landed anything. In this case, what would you do?
This isn’t to say that trying to make the best out of how things turn out will always result in the best outcome but at least you’ll have some control over your situation. 【4】 Most people who are living their dream life got there by doing things to improve their situation. 【5】 However, the more you try, the higher the chances you’ll get the outcome you were aiming for.
A.The important thing is to get started.
B.The fact is, bad times falls on all of us.
C.You could also start looking for another job.
D.Some things worked and many things didn’t.
E.The other would be to fill your days with meaningless tasks.
F.Very few people who have the life they want got it by sitting around.
G.You’ll have periods when it seems like things are constantly going wrong.

24、I graduated from college in the early 1990s with a major in Italian literature and there was no clue how I was going to make a living. I struggled to find my footing in a new city; working a variety of jobs, always looking for my “real” career. 【1】
One day I opened my mail and found a note with an image from my mother. 【2】 It was a portrait(肖像) of John Gorrie—the inventor of the first artificial ice machine- -that the artist Dennis Gephardt had made entirely out of pieces of toast.“If someone can make a portrait out of toast,” my mother wrote to me, “you can do anything.”
This small portrait brought a ray of hope to me. Corrie believed he did not need winter in order to make ice. Gephardt, the artist, believed he could honor that fact by, painstakingly cutting 143 slices of bread into the likeness of a man. 【3】 Why not me? I carried this cutting in my notebook for years.
When I entered my 30s, now as a wife and a mother, I decided to throw myself into a new career as a writer. So once again, I needed all the encouragement I could get. 【4】 Years went on. Failed marriage, my daughter’s teenage years, another career shift-throughout it all, the toast remained in view. When I gave up writing and started a new business, my friends had their doubts. But I looked to toast. This career has brought more success than I’ve ever achieved before. 【5】 If someone can make a portrait out of toast, well, we can do anything.
A.Both achieved their goals.
B.As in most cases, Mom was right.
C.She’d cut it out from Harper’s Magzine.

F.I framed the portrait and hung it on my wall.
G.I was badly in need of encourgement, from anyone, anywhere.
