  “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 programme 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 with a small 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 call.“What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?”He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football 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’ll feel doubly(加倍的)good because of all the hard work you’ve done.”At that moment I knew what she ment.
