At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together.38 his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his39 company learned from its mistake.

Even if it’s choosing between two food items for lunch, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the48 decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is ___49___the most important character of creative people is a very strong___50to find a way out of trouble.
