Consideration and wisdom are necessary before we do everything. Having taken a course of action without 36 , we find at once too many difficulties, small or big, preventing our 37 . If we avoid(避免) acting hurriedly, we can avoid most of our troubles. For instance, a young man has a gift 38 teaching and doing research work. What a foolish act 39 would be for him to go and work as a businessman! Most of people 40 to have a satisfactory life 41 they have selected a job for which they don’t mean to go in. Without 42 into consideration our means and abilities for a particular business we should not run 43 into it.

However, too much care and fear 44 in failure. It is a mistake to hesitate(犹豫) or delay action when instant action is 45 . When a swimmer has to save a drowning man, he must act at once without delay. 46 to rescue a child or a woman from a burning 47 , we must rush in without hesitation. 48 there is no room for delay and hesitation, there must be 49 hesitation and delay. If there is too much care, too much fear of risks(冒险), results are often attended with 50 .

So, 51 with combination(结合) of consideration, courage and confidence(信心) can we 52 any difficulty. We can be successful and realize our aims in life only by just getting the three points 53 together. Foresight and forethought combined with 54 and confidence in taking unavoidable risks are necessary. With them we can prove ourselves able to deal with an expected 55 and ensure success.

在我们做任何事情之前,必须经过深思熟虑和掌握相关知识.如果未经思考而贸然行事,我们将立即碰到许多的困难与麻烦.这些困难与麻烦或大或小,却都阻碍着我们通往成功的道路.倘若我们能够避免莽撞行事,就能够规避大部分的麻烦.例如,一个年轻人拥有教学和科研的天赋,那么,如果他仓促地地下海经商,那将会是多么愚蠢的行为!在未能过上满意生活的人们中,大部分人都是由于错误地选择了以自己不喜欢的职业为生,从而招致了失败的结果.面对某个特定的职业选择时,在未能充分考虑自己的意愿和适应能力之前,不应该轻率地投身进去.

然而,过度的谨小慎微也会导致失败.当断而不断,犹豫不决,或延宕行动都是错误的.为了拯救溺水之人,一个泳者必须立即行动,毫不犹豫.为了从失火的房子里救出一个孩子或一位妇女,我们只能直冲而入,不可延误时机.这里没有迟疑和拖延的余地,必须勇往直前,不能瞻前顾后.如果过于小心谨慎,过分恐惧冒险,那么结果通常是趋于失败.

因此,只有将深思熟虑,勇气和自信结合起来,我们才能克服所有的困难.我们只有将这三点结合起来,确认自己的生活目标,做事才会一帆风顺.前瞻性,事前缜密的思考与勇气和自信的结合,是我们应对不可避免的风险所必须具备的素质.拥有了它们,我们就能证明自己有能力防范预期的风险,从而确保最终的成功.
