To Be Lucky, Be Prepared
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 wresting is probably the sport that has the least 36 . There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot 37 it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no 38 because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining” or “It was snowing.” It makes 39 to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.
On our team were two world champions; one of them had been world champion five times. We 40 had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy 41 the name of John.
John had never been 42 in my high school wrestling competition that I could remember, 43 he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.
One day, we 44 a match with our biggest opponent（對手）. John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular 45 . He rolled over, and his opponent 46 him halfway through his roll. He was pinned 47 !
The match was over.
I remember on the bus on the way home, one of our teammates tried to 48 John by saying, “Oh, he just got lucky.” And John said, “That’s so stupid. The opportunity presented itself, 49 he exploited it.”
We used to have this big sign in our wrestling room that the coach had 50 there. “Luck is what happens when opportunity 51 preparation.”
John’s opponent was prepared to exploit this opportunity. The probability of 52 John was not strong, and he knew it. But he paid attention to the 53 opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion.
In other words, the real 54 is “Be prepared!” It’s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be prepared to 55 it.
