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(发电机), 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 desperation and
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 we are. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”
There was crying
we had walked into grave. 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”, which 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. It could be
! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no
of guaranteed success.
