When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the
36 side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to
37 in good health, or
38 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society．If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to
39 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text
40 the title．Therefore, the scissors would
41 before they start,
42 halfway done when I find out the
43 result．
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your
44 ．You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be
45 up．
But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left
46 ．Thus you are
47 in a difficult position and feel sad．How
48 that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life
49 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other．
In fact that is what
50 is like: we are often
51 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that your attention is drawn to one thing only
52 we get into another．The
53 may be more important than the latter and give rise to divided mind．I
54 remember a philosopher's remarks: "When one door shuts, another opens in life．" So a casual
55 may not be a bad one．
