A lesson for living 生活的一课-(111202)

:qq55]
"Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. "If you carry on, one day something good will happen. And you'll realize that it wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment."


**** Hidden Message *****


Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer. I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station - and got turned down every time.


**** Hidden Message *****

In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn't risk hiring an inexperienced person. "Go out in the sticks and find a small station that'll give you a chance," she said.


**** Hidden Message *****

I thumbed home to Dixon, Illinois. While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me. But I wasn't hired.


**** Hidden Message *****

My disappointment must have shown. "Everything happens for the best," Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.


**** Hidden Message *****

As I left his office, my frustration boiled over. I asked aloud, "How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?"


**** Hidden Message *****

I was waiting for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling, "What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?" Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game.


**** Hidden Message *****

On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother's words: "If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous disappointment."


**** Hidden Message *****

I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if I'd gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.

"Everything will be O.K."It is the very simple sentence that I always say to myself when I face disappointment.
In the future, I will be so.

We can only setbacks under static impetuous heart to think about... What do life forward and insist, thank you for sharing, a blessing.

    Yeah.

1.we have no chance--what we can do?--we need to create opportunities. Become a Pioneer!

2.we have no chance--what we can do?--we must to insist and keep on going, just like the authors.Finally in one day,the chance will say HELLO to us.

3.we have no chance--what we can do ?--Change our mind and hold positive attitudes ,maybe every moment around us will be the chance we are searching for which we may ignore.

COME ON!
