I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can vaguely(模糊地)  1  the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see things again,  2  a disaster can do strange things to people. It happened to me the other day that I might not have come to love  3  as I do if I hadn’t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not sure that I would believe in it so  4 . I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I  5  mean that the loss of  6  made me enjoy more of  7  I have now.
Life asks us to keep making  8  to reality. If a person is able to get ready for anything changeable his world will  9  more meaningful. I became blind, but I was  10 . My parents and my teachers saw  11  in me-a potential(潜力) to live, you might call it-which I didn’t see, and they make me fight it out with blindness.
The hardest  12  I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was what I had to do at least. If I hadn’t been able to do that, I would become a chair rocker for the  13  of my life. When I say I believe in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase  14 . That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: A belief that I could deal with anything alone; that somewhere in the  15  there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

"Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever things weren’t going my way. "Don’t worry. One day your luck will change."
Mother was right, as I discovered after I had finished my college education, I had decided to try for a job in radio. One day, I wanted to host a sports programme. 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 with a small station and work your way up," she said.
I went back home. I couldn’t get a job there, either. Then my dad told me a businessman had opened a store and needed someone to help him. But again, I didn’t get the job.
I felt really down. "Your luck will change," Mom said to me. Dad lent me the car to help me to look for my job. I tried another radio station in Lowa. But the owner, a nice man, 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 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 come back to me, "One day your luck will change, Son. And when it happens, it’ll feel doubly good because of all the hard work you’ve had." At that moment I knew just what she meant.
