2Phillip wants to find his [blank_start]pot[blank_end] of gold by earning money from a job that involves staying home all day long. I'm not sure why I always beat myself [blank_start]up[blank_end] for not making a similar decision but I feel I need to stick [blank_start]to[blank_end] my plans and keep everything unchanged. Even though I know his chances of success with a job working from home is [blank_start]close[blank_end] to zero, I think it will still [blank_start]pay[blank_end] dividends even with all the minimal effort put [blank_start]in[blank_end]. I used to be the same, although being considered as a high [blank_start]flyer[blank_end], I sort of had more experience setting up new ventures where I usually worked until I [blank_start]dropped[blank_end] in my twenties. Right after I experienced the first financial [blank_start]setbacks[blank_end] that delayed my success, I decided to leave my [blank_start]comfort[blank_end] zone, the luxury of only being forced to work with children, and opened up to a larger scale of customers. They say [blank_start]necessity[blank_end] if the mother of invention, and if I'd continued my disorganised life with all those [blank_start]haphazardly[blank_end] arranged business meetings, the existence of my current company would be a [blank_start]fleeting[blank_end] one.

12TWINS LEFT HIGH AND DRY
If you watched the recent Oxford and Cambridge boat race, you [blank_start]will have[blank_end] noticed the Winklevoss twins, Cameron and Tyler, in the Oxford boat. The two have always rowed together, and completed in the Beijing Olympics but [blank_start]could[blank_end] manage.
The Winklevoss brothers are very rich, as the result of a lawsuit settled out of a court, but in reality they [blank_start]should[blank_end] be billionaires by now. In the early 2000s, when the twins were studying at Harvard, they [blank_start]would[blank_end] often talk about setting up a social networking website for students. They [blank_start]succeeded in[blank_end] starting one, named ConnectU, but as the pair were busy studying and rowing, they [blank_start]were unable to[blank_end] devote the time necessary to developing the site, so they decided they [blank_start]had to[blank_end] employ someone else to help them. After three months Mark Zuckerberg stopped working with the twins and launched his own social networking site, Facebook, which is now worth over $4 billion.
Understandably, the twins were convinced Zuckerberg [blank_start]couldn't have[blank_end] created the site without their initial input. Although the twins have settled out of court, there are still some messy arguments going on which [blank_start]might[blank_end] continue for some time.
Did it affect their performance in the boat race? Well, the Oxford team started well but [blank_start]didn't manage to[blank_end] hold out against a battling Cambridge team, who sealed an exciting victory.- Awill have
- Bcould
- Cshould
- Dwould
- Esucceeded in
- Fwere unable to
- Ghad to
