beautiful insects, but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach. that means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. you would also not want to have

the ability to succeed, then you dont. 16 the moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born. 17 most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. they are

a clear finish line for goals.its a good idea to set a general timeline (时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. 19 if you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make
