6、 the inevitability of setbacks when attempting difficult things explains why many people give up on their goals: they are not prepared for the mistakes and failures they will face on their way to what they want. 在我们尝试困难的事情的时候，愧疚感以及无法避免的挫折，足以解释许多人放弃目标的原因。他们没有准备好面对成功之路上的错误和失败。In conclusion, we can and
