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 _41_ side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to __42__ in good health, or __43__ about how to behave and conduct oneself in society.

It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only __57__we get into another. The __58__ may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I __59__ remember a philosopher’s remarks: “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual or passive __60__ may not be a bad one.
Whatever we do in our lifetime, wherever life’s storm tosses us, there must be
something we can achieve, some shore we can land, that opens up new vistas to us.
