The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Where There's A Will by Mary Roberts Rinehart: hands in his pockets and strutted up and down. "It's the day of
advertising, you know, Minnie," he said. "You've got to have the
goods, and then you've got to let people know you've got the
goods. What would you say to a shooting-gallery in the basement,
under the reading-room?"
"Fine!" I said, with sarcasm, turning my slippers. "If things
got too quiet that would wake them up a bit, and we could have a
balloon ascension on Saturdays!"
"Not an ascension," said he, with my bitterness going right over
his head. "Nothing sensational, Minnie. That's the way with
women; they're always theatrical. But what's the matter with a

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The White Moll by Frank L. Packard: or other was celebrating - and was doing it with abandon. Most of
the men were half drunk. It was certainly a free-and-easy night!
Everything went!
Danglar! Yes, 'there he was - quite close to her, only a few tables
away - and beside him sat a heavy built, clean-shaven man of middle
age. That would be Cloran, of course - the man who was to have been
lured to his death. And Danglar was nervous and uneasy, she could
see. His fingers were drumming a tattoo on the table; his eyes were
roving furtively about the room; and he did not seem to be paying any
but the most distrait attention to his companion, who was talking
to him.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Faraday as a Discoverer by John Tyndall: place; the result was the same.[2] It was the relative motion of
the magnet and the loop that was effectual in producing a current.
The lines of force have their roots in the magnet, and though they
may expand into infinite space, they eventually return to the magnet.
Now these lines may be intersected close to the magnet or at a
distance from it. Faraday finds distance to be perfectly immaterial
so long as the number of lines intersected is the same.
For example, when the loop connecting the equator and the pole of
his barmagnet performs one complete revolution round the magnet,
it is manifest that all the lines of force issuing from the magnet
are once intersected. Now it matters not whether the loop be ten feet
