“Everything happens for the best,”my mother said whenever things weren’t going my way．“Don’t worry, one day your luck will change．”
Mother was right, as I discovered after I had finished my college education．I had decided to try for aq job in radio．One day, I wanted to host(主持)a sports programme．I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station．But I got turned down every time．
In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn’t got 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 told me 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．Dad lent me the car to help me to look for my job．I tried another radio station in Iowa．But the owner, a nice man, told me he had already had someone．
As I left his office, I asked,“How can someone be a sports announcer(播音員)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 had．”At that moment I knew what just what she ment．
