For many years my parents subscribed to “Reader's Digest”. Usually I enjoyed reading each issue(期) as much as they did. The1 in the magazine I liked most was “The Best Advice I Ever Had.”

19you are to finish your task or do your work, you'll have to feel like it. After you20 feel like it you'll surprisingly find it isn't difficult to finish.
