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   36   side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to  37   in good health, or  38   about how to behave and conduct oneself in society．If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to  39   damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 40  the title．Therefore, the scissors would  41   before they start,  42   halfway done when I find out the  43   result．
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your  44 ．You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be  45   up．
But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 46  ．Thus you are  47   in a difficult position and feel sad．How  48   that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   49   greatly on your preference of one choice to the other．
In fact that is what  50  is like: we are often  51   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that your attention is drawn to one thing only  52   we get into another．The  53   may be more important than the latter and give rise to divided mind．I  54   remember a philosopher's remarks: "When one door shuts, another opens in life．" So a casual  55   may not be a bad one．
