10、 near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minut

11、e. This one was silent and its ears pinned back- the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day.

12、 with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight.

18、g weight - the output, we need to control what we eat - the input. That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct goals.
