A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. 41 , before we took off, we heard the pilot's voice throughout the plane, “Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no 42 on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 43 the engines with it. We will 44 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 45 !” There were sighs of 46 and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even 47 yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still 48 there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are 49 , so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”
There was crying 50 we had walked in to grave(坟墓). But the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 51 was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 52 happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone 53 for still being alive.
Although I do sincerely like to have a plan 54 “see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people pursuing their goals 55 with inaction just because they don’t have 56 success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 57 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 58 as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought, and the result could be very 59 ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no 60 of guaranteed success.
