Life Doesn't Just Happen to Us
Being good at something and having a passion for it are not enough. Success depends mainly on our view of ourselves and of the events in our lives.
When twelve-year-old John Wilson walked into his chemistry class on a rainy day in 1931, he had no way of knowing that his life was to change completely. The class experiment that day was to show heating a container of water would bring air bubbling to the surface. Somehow, the container the teacher gave Wilson (heat) mistakenly held something more volatile(易挥发的) than water. When Wilson heated it, the container exploded, (leave) Wilson blinded in both eyes.
When Wilson returned home from hospital two months later, his parents attempted to find a way to deal with the disaster that (happen) to their lives. But Wilson did not regard the accident a disaster. He learned braille(盲文) quickly and continued his education at Worcester College for the Blind. There, he not only did well as a student but also became an (accomplish) public speaker.
Later, he worked in Africa, many people suffered from blindness for lack of proper treatment. For him, it was one thing to accept his own fate of being blind and quite another to allow something to continue when it be fixed so easily. Wilson did his best to prevent the preventable tens of millions in Africa and Asia could recover their sight.
Wilson received several international awards for his great contributions. He lost his sight but found a vision. He proved that it's not what happens to us determines our lives- it's what we make of what happens.
