38、, we should drop them and move to something else“.Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NAST. “The Apollo moon launch was slightly off-course 90 percent of the time. “Says Garfield , “But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of o

39、ur goal. This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary. “Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake.Too often we believe what accounts for others success is some special secret or a lucky break(机遇).

45、e late nineteenth century in France. It began with a loosely structured group of painters who got together mainly to exhibit their paintings.
