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 sports, it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least 16 __.There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot 17 it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no 18 problem because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining.” or “It was snowing.” It makes 19 to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.

John’s opponent was prepared to exploit this opportunity. The probability of 32__ John was not strong, and he knew it. But he paid attention to the 33 opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion.

In other words，the real 34 is Be Prepared. It’s not just finding the opportunity；you have to be prepared to 35 it.
