One day, a young man named Gary went to see an old man. He wanted to know why he wasn't able to 1 all of his goals.
With a smile, the wise man listened to Gary's story and said, "First, come to help me boil(煮沸) a teapot of water!" Gary saw a big teapot next to a small stove(炉子), but he couldn't find any wood. So he went out to 2 some.
He came back with dry wood. He 3 the teapot with water and put it on the stove. Then he put some wood in the stove and started a fire. But the teapot was too 4. When the wood burned out, the water did not boil. So he ran out to get more.
By the time he came back, the water nearly turned 5. This time, he prepared more wood ahead of time and the water boiled in no time.
The old man then said, "Look at these different 6 of wood. Some burn fast, while others last longer. Which ones do you think are best for boiling water?"

"You had too many dreams and set too many goals," said the old man. "It's like the large teapot full of water. You didn't have enough wood, 8 the water couldn't boil."
Gary finally understood: To succeed(成功)，you must choose 9 focus on fewer goals or find ways to get more "wood". This is how you make your dreams come true. And remember, sometimes giving up a few 10 can clear the way for greater success.
