19、 fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this.

27、ld by a teacher that hed never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences? First, true genius (天才) cannot be suppressed(壓抑). For some reason or other it works its way out. Second, early judgements of a perso
