Once there was a girl who could do everything she wanted in the world. All she had to do was to choose     and focus on it. So one day she sat down and began to paint. When she finally finished painting, she looked proudly at her     and smiled.

It was clear that she was     . And she knew it, too. But a few moments after she finished painting, she got anxious and quickly stood up.     she thought that there was so much more in the world to see and do, and she would face so many     . If she finally decided to do something else with her life, then all the time she     painting would be a waste. So she looked at her work for the last time, and walked out of the door.

She had to choose     thing to reach a higher goal. Should she practice medicine? Or     buildings? Or teach children? She was quite     .

Twenty-five years later, the girl began to cry. Because she   she had been walking for so long, and that over the years she hadn’t done anything     at all. She learned that life isn’t about possibility. Anything is possible. The truth of     is to get down on one thing, but does not aim too high and changes the goal freely.

The girl was no longer a girl. She knew     she wanted exactly. So she bought some painting materials and began to paint. She smiled and   painting through day and night, because she had finally made a decision. And there was     some time left to enjoy the magic that life is all about.
