"Everything happens for the best, "my mother said whenever I faced disappointment, "If you 21 on, something good will happen some day."
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had 22 myself for a sports announcer. So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was 23 every time. In one station, a kind lady told me that 24 stations wouldn't employ a person without 25 since I had just graduated. "Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance, "she said.
I returned to Dixon, where I had finished my high school education and had 26 in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to manage its sports department. The job sounded just 27 for me but I wasn't hired.
My disappointment had 28 as if by design. "Everything happens for the best," Mum 29 me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer. 30 I left his office, I asked aloud," 31 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" Suddenly, I heard the director 32 . "Do you know anything about football? " Then he asked me to 33 an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was 34 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the 35 Saturday.

Research shows that much of our predisposition (倾向) towards determination, sociability and self - control and sense of purpose is in our genes.In fact, our DNA plays a bigger role in influencing these traits ( characteristics)than our upbringing (儿童期的教养)and the company we keep.Taken together, these aspects of personality can make the difference between success and failure, say the Edinburgh University researchers.
They questioned more than 800 pairs of twins about their attitudes to life to tease apart the influences of nature and nurture.Comparing identical twins, who share all their DNA and their up bringing, with non-identical twins, who have a shared background but are no more genetically alike than other brothers and sisters, is a technique often used by researchers to quantify the influence of genetics.
The results, published in the Journal of Personality, showed that genes play a much bigger role than lifestyle, with self-control particularly etched (铭刻) into our DNA.
Our genes a222so largely determine how determined and persistent we are.This is important in terms of success, as someone who refuses to give up is more likely to achieve their dreams than someone who throws in the towel at the first hiccough.
Researcher Professor Timothy Bates said, "Ever since the ancient Greeks, people Lave de hated the nature of a good life and the nature of a virtuous life.Why do some people seem to manage their lives, have good relationships and cooperate to achieve their goals while others do not? Previously, the role of family and the environment around the home often controlled people' s ideas about what affected psychological well-being.However, this work emphasizes a much more powerful influence from genetics."
However, those who haven' t been dealt a helpful hand of genes shouldn' t he too depressed.The professor says a sense of purpose is the key and advises those who are eager for success to focus their thoughts on making a difference.
