A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane. , before we took off, we heard the pilot's voice throughout the plane, “Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no on the plane. We have a generator(發(fā)電機), and we are going to the engines with it. We will 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 !” There were sighs of and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are , so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time.”

There was crying we had walked in to grave(墳?zāi)?. But the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone for still being alive.

Although I do sincerely like to have a plan “see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people pursuing their goals with inaction just because they don’t have success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The 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 as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought, and the result could be very ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no of guaran­teed success.

試題分析：作者的一次乘飛機的經(jīng)歷給了作者關(guān)于人生的啟示。作者乘坐的飛機動力不足，機長通知大家說先飛上天空再隨機應(yīng)變。作者當時認為這不是一個很好的辦法。當飛機安全抵達目的地之后，作者的想法有了改變。作者認為，在現(xiàn)實生活中，一個完美的計劃是不存在的，我們能做的就是先付諸行動，之后再隨機應(yīng)變。一個人想要成功，他就得付諸行動，而不是因為有可能失敗就坐以待斃。
