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 sports，it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least 1 .There are only two people out on the mat，so you cannot 2 it on your teammates or your coach.And guess what？There is no 3 because we do the whole thing indoors，so you can’t say，“It was raining.” or “It was snowing.” It makes 4 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 5 had five people who were national champions.One of them was a guy 6 the name of John.
John had never been 7 in my high school wrestling competition that I could remember， 8 he was a national champion.There was nobody locally who could touch him.
One day，we 9 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 10 .He rolled over，and his opponent 11 him halfway through his roll.He was pinned 12 ！
The match was over.
I remember on the bus on the way home，one of our teammates tried to 13 John by saying，“Oh，he just got lucky.” And John said，“That’s so stupid.The opportunity presented itself， 14 he exploited it.”
We used to have this big sign in our wrestling room，that the coach had 15 there.“Luck is what happens when opportunity 16 preparation.”
John’s opponent was prepared to exploit this opportunity.The probability of 17 John was not strong，and he knew it.But he paid attention to the 18 opportunity to present itself，and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion.
In other words，the real 19 is Be Prepared.It’s not just finding the opportunity；you have to be prepared to 20 it.
