Life is filled with regrets. As we get older, we often look back and wish that we 【小题1】 (make) better choices in our life before. So what can we do 【小题2】 (avoid) future regrets? The following are a few tips that you might find 【小题3】 (use).

Make plans in advance. If you start to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The【小题4】(early), the better. You should know what comes first and what comes last. Even if something unexpected【小题5】(happen), you can have more time to deal with it.

Live 【小题6】more active life. More outdoor activities can keep you healthy both【小题7】(physical) and mentally.

Make good friends. Everyone needs friends. Friends are people with【小题8】we share joys and sorrows. Make friends with optimistic people, and you’ll also think positively if you【小题9】(surround) with them.

Never fear failure. Everybody fails, even the greatest people in the world. We should not fear failure. Instead, we should take failure 【小题10】a chance to learn and improve ourselves.

Today I will share a true story about an overseas student【小题1】studied in Germany.

After years of hard work, this student graduated with【小题2】(amaze) achievements. Everyone was sure that he was going to get a good job【小题3】(easy) and have a bright future. But to his surprise, he was not even given the chance for【小题4】interview! It was the third time that he【小题5】(refuse), he couldn’t help【小题6】(telephone) the company to ask why they didn’t want him. The answer was simple. “We don’t offer jobs to dishonest people in Germany.”

You might wonder what was wrong. The truth is, shortly after he【小题7】(arrive) in Germany, this clever student found that【小题8】was easy to skip(逃票) buying subway tickets in this country. So in order to save money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket many times.

From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits（好处）in dishonest ways, 【小题9】the truth will come out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember that【小题10】(honest) may lead to failure. We must be honest. It is a rule.

Why is setting goals important? Goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life and goals allow you 【小题1】 (make) your life happen.

Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of 【小题2】 (goal). By 【小题3】 (set) goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go.

Think of it this way. There【小题4】 (be) two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can 【小题5】 (find) on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turnings. The other driver has no goal 【小题6】 destination. She starts off at the same time from the same place as 【小题7】 first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?

Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. 【小题8】 (success) people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals 【小题9】 (real) are. You are the one 【小题10】 must decide what to achieve and in which direction to aim your life.
