Passage 4 [June 2001]
Read the following passage and answer the questions 16–20.

Do not allow this energy to be dissipated in the futile memory of past regrets or failures, or excitement of the present and bring that entire energy focused into activity, i.e., the highest creative action in the world outside, whereby the individual who is till now considered the most inefficient finds his way to the highest achievement and success.
