Don’t Think Your Success Is A Matter of Luck
Richard Hamming argues a major roadblock is thinking your success will be mainly about luck. To do first rate work, you have to drop any modesty and say to yourself: “Yes, I would like to do something significant.” Pasteur said, “Luck favors the prepared mind.” The prepared mind will eventually find something important and then do it. One characteristic of great people is usually “when they were young they had independent thoughts and had the courage to pursue them.” He says: “Once you get your courage up and believe that you can do important problems, then you can.” Psychology Today Magazine

Tema central da questão – Inglês: Trata-se de uma questão de interpretação de texto focada em sinônimos contextuais para os advérbios eventually e once, fundamentais na compreensão detalhada do significado e intenção do texto em provas de Vestibular.
Explicação teórica essencial:
- Eventually – Indica que algo irá acontecer "após um tempo", "finalmente" ou "em algum momento futuro". Não implica brevidade, mas sim um resultado alcançado depois de um processo ou espera (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English; Gramática Oxford).
- Once – Pode significar "uma vez que", "assim que" ou "quando". Frequentemente usado para indicar que, a partir do momento em que determinada condição é atendida, algo acontecerá em seguida.
Justificativa da alternativa correta – C:
A resposta C) at some later time / as soon as é correta:
- At some later time é sinônimo de eventually, ambas indicando "em algum momento posterior".
- As soon as corresponde a once no sentido de "assim que", isto é, quando você conseguir coragem, algo irá acontecer logo depois.
Análise das alternativas incorretas:
- A) never again / one single time – "Never again" significa “nunca mais”, o oposto de “eventually”; "one single time" pode equivaler a "once", mas a primeira parte torna a alternativa inválida.
- B) usually / recently – "Usually" é "normalmente", e "recently" é "recentemente", ambos sem relação precisa com o significado de “eventually” e “once”.
- D) after a short time / present day – "After a short time" difere de “eventually” (pode ser logo, enquanto “eventually” indica mesmo demora), e "present day" é "atualmente", diferente de "once".
- E) frequently / on one occasion – "Frequently" é "frequentemente", oposto a "eventually"; "on one occasion" pode ser "once", mas a inconsistência na primeira parte elimina esta opção.
Estratégia para futuras provas: Sempre avalie o sentido preciso do advérbio no contexto, não caia em armadilhas de “falsos cognatos” ou de tradução literal. Busque sinônimos conforme a ideia temporal ou condicional expressa pelo texto.
