Hoping to answer this question, he investigates a dozen possibilities, but as soon as he runs into adversity（困难）, he decides that path isn’t for him and moves on to a new solution．

　　Pete’s actions aren’t focused．Although he works very hard, his efforts don’t build on each other rather than building one giant impenetrable（不可进入的）sand castle, Pete has built twenty small ones that are easily toppled （倒塌）．He ends up confused and discouraged．What’s worse, Pete’s lack of focus leads to failure．

　　What if Pete had chosen a specific path?

　　A set of specific goals is much easier to achieve than a vague ultimate goal like becoming wealthy．Being focused on a path gives Pete a logical set of actions to follow．Each accomplishment is one step closer to the final goal．

　　I think we can all agree that committing to a clearly defined path, regardless of which one, gives Pete the best chance of becoming wealthy．

　　But how can he choose a path if he doesn’t know what he wants? Maybe money isn’t his only goal．Maybe he wants to do something he loves at the same time．Maybe he can’t afford to go back to school．Reality is complicated, and Pete doesn’t want to commit too soon．

　　And that’s why he failed．

　　1．powerful

　　2．necessary

　　3．Not

　　4．though/although
