In reality, it the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lions face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight, start a business, travel more)only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is been the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we cant focus or that were focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesnt have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to becometake immediate action. If youre clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.25. Why does the lion tamer use a chair? A. To trick the lion.B. To show off his skills. C. To get ready for a fight.D. To entertain the audience.26. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair? A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrong things. C. They find it hard to make changes.D. They have to do something for show27. What is the authors attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph3? A. Tolerant.B. Doubtful. C. Respectful.D. Supportive.28. When the world is “waving a chair in your face”, youre advised to _. A. wait for a better chanceB. break your old habits C. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidanceCI am peter Hodes, a volunteer stem courier.
