“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “Don’t worry. One day your luck will change.”
I found Mom was right after I finished my college education. I had decided to try for a job in radio. I wanted to host a sports program one day. I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station. But I got turned down every time.
At one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn’t enough experience. “Get some work at a small radio station and work your way up,” she said.
I went back home. I couldn’t get a job there, either. Then my dad said 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. I tried another radio station in Iowa. But the owner 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 called, “What did you mean? Do you know anything about soccer?” He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a soccer game. I succeeded.
On my way home, Mom’s words came back to me, “One day your luck will change, son. And when it happens, it will be doubly(加倍地) good because of all the hard work you’ve done.” At that moment I knew just what she meant.
