Three kids to go until my turn to dive (跳水). At the front of the line, a girl in a pink swim suit is 36 and climbs onto the diving board. Will she change her 37, like I did last week, I wonder? Encouraged by the teacher, the Pink Girl 38. Only two kids to go. I feel very 39. You don’t have to do this, I tell myself. 40 next week is the pool party, my brain 41. You will be the 42 one who can’t go on the diving board.
As I am thinking, another girl dives into the 43. Then it’s my little brother Travis’ turn. I 44 my eyes, and then open them just in time to see him jump off the 45. He comes out of the water and smiles. I can’t help 46, too. Nothing scares that kid.
Then I realize it’s my 47. I climb onto the diving board. 48 are diving at the other end of the pool. Everywhere, everyone is 49. Except me.
“What are you 50?” asks the kid after my turn.
I step forward. Then I 51 Travis standing by the pool. “You can do it!” he shouts. That’s what I’ve 52 told him when he was 53 to tie his shoes or write his name.
I take a deep breath and step out into nothing. My body 54, and then I feel the water. I swim in the water for a while before I pull myself to the 55, where my face finds the sun. I DID IT!

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 waspinned(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.
