A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. 5 , before we took off, we heard the pilot's voice throughout the plane. "Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no 6 on the plane. We have a generator (发电机),and we are going to 7 the engines with it. We will 8 in the air and head to Norfolk, and see what happens.

See what happens? We are going to get up in the air, and see what happens? At this point, one woman started crying. "Oh, no! We are going to 9 ! There were sighs of desperation and  10 spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even 11 yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 12 there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 13 , so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time.

There was crying 14 we had walked into a grave (坟墓).But, the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 15 was to get up in the air, and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 16 happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone  17  for still being alive.

Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 18 "see what happens", which really isn't such a bad life strategy (策略),all too often, I would see people pur?suing their goals 19 with inaction just because they don't have 20 success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 21 thing that you can do is just get up in the air, and see what happens.

If you are planning to learn a new skill, get up in the air, and see what happens! It might not be as

22 as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought. It could be 23 ! So don't stay there trying nothing just because there is no 24 of guaranteed success.
