I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.
I was on the wrestling team. Now, if there’s one thing I can tell you about any sport, it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least
31 .There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot
32 it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no
33 because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining” or “It was snowing.” It makes
34 to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.
On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We
35 had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy
36 the name of John.
John had never been
37 in any high school wrestling competition that I could remember, 38 he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.
One day, we
39 a match with our biggest opponent ( 对手). John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular
40 He rolled over, and his opponent
41 him halfway through his roll. He was
pinned
(压住)
42 !
The match was over.
I remember on the way home, one of our teammates tried to
43 John by saying, “Oh, he just got lucky.” John said, “That’s so stupid. The
44 presented itself, and he just took advantage of it.”
We used to have this big
45 in our wrestling room that the coach had put there: “Luck is what happens when opportunity meets 46 .”
John’s opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not
47 and he knew it. But he waited for the
48 opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion.
In other words, the real
49 is “Be prepared!” It’s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be prepared to
50 it.
