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 sport, it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least   31   .There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot   32   it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no   33     because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining” or “It was snowing.” It makes   34  to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.

On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We   35   had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy   36   the name of John.

John had never been   37   in any high school wrestling competition that I could remember, 38   he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.

One day, we   39   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   40   He rolled over, and his opponent  41   him halfway through his roll. He was pinned (压住) 42  !

The match was over.

I remember on the way home, one of our teammates tried to  43   John by saying, “Oh, he just got lucky.” John said, “That’s so stupid. The 44   presented itself, and he just took advantage of it.”

We used to have this big   45   in our wrestling room that the coach had put there: “Luck is what happens when opportunity meets   46  .”

John’s opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not   47   and he knew it. But he waited for the  48   opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion.

In other words, the real  49   is “Be prepared!” It’s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be prepared to   50   it.
