Where there is a will, there is a way. This proverb means that if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will 1)F eventually
find a way to do it well. The 2)G premier
point is that you must have the will to achieve success.
Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strong will involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any 3)H endeavor
to achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain the situation away.
On many occasions, people tend to 4)j bypass
every minute obstacle, making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will to succeed, they can get rid of the 5)E handicaps
and achieve their goals.

their prestige because they have had the will to 8)I transcend
apparently insuperable (无法克服的) obstacles. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have managed to succeed because they possess a fierce will, which has helped them to accomplish major 9)K feats
.
Therefore, we can see that the main thing which one needs is a strong will. Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They collapse at the 10)M slightest
use of force against them. Strong-willed people, on the other hand, will stand up against all odds and will make it a point to succeed.

Social anxiety symptoms often begin during adolescence. It’s a developmental process that is 1)K characterized
by profound psychological changes, especially in terms of how we relate to others. One of the most frustrating 2)D aspects

a sense of joy on the job? Here is one of the tips to help you on your way to finding happiness and complete job satisfaction in the workplace.
Start with a positive outlook. Happiness is a state of mind; it 5)reflects

and on a positive outlook toward your job, not on 7)monetary

, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.”
