"Everything happens for the best," my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. "If you can carry on,one day something good will happen."
After graduating from college in 1932,I decided to try for a job as a sports announcer(播音員)on the radio.I took the bus to Chicago and knocked on the door of every radio station.But I was refused every time.In one studio,a nice lady told me that big radio stations didn't want to accept inexperienced(沒經(jīng)驗的)persons. "Go to the countryside and find a small station that'll give you a chance," she said.
I returned home,Dixon in Illinois.My father said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department.Since I had played high school football in Dixon,I applied.The job sounded just right for me,but I still failed in the interview.As I left his office,I felt sad.I asked aloud,"How can a man become a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?"
I was waiting for the lift when I heard Smith Ward calling, "What did you say about sports?Do you know anything about football?" Then he made me stand before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary(想象的) game.As a result,I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast Saturday's game!
On my way home,I thought of my mother's words again:Everything happens for the best if you carry on.One day something good will happen.

1.Life comes in a package.This package includes happiness and sorrow,failure and success,hope and despair.Life is a learning process.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on our life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go Hayward(不歸路) and also become cruel and ferocious.In the early stage of our life,our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care.They teach us about what is right and wrong,good and bad.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is shortlived,but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment.Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in jye.ai.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one,failure and despair.But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
Failure is the path to success.It helps us to touch the sky,teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.Success brings in money,fame,pride and selfrespect.Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder.The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble,modest,courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour,because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday,for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown,for it could either be bright or dull.So the only alternative is work hard today,so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
