“Everything happens for the best, (一切都会变好的)"
my mother said, whenever things weren't going my way. "Don't worry. One
day your luck will change."
After I had finished my college education, I discovered that Mother was
right.
I had decided to try for a job in radio. I wanted to host a sports
program. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I got turned down every time. In one
station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn't got enough experience.
"Get some work in a small station and work your way up, "she said.
I went back home. I couldn't get a job there, either. I felt really down.
“Your luck will change, " Mom
said to me. I tried another radio station in lowa. But the owner told me he had
already had someone.
As I left his office, I asked, "How can someone be a sports
announcer(播音员)if he can't
get a job in a radio station?" I was waiting for the lift when I heard the
man call, "What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?" He
put me in front of a microphone(麦克风)and asked me to try
to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game.
I succeeded!
On my way home, Mom's words came back to me, "One day your luck will
change, Son. And when it happens, you'll feel doubly good because of all the
hard work you've done." At that moment I knew just what she meant.
