A few years ago, my younger brother and I went to Norfolk, Virginian by plane.  41 , before we took off, we heard the pilot's voice throughout the plane, “Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have no  42  on the plane. We have a generator(发电机), and we are going to 43  the engines with it. We will  44  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  45 ！” There were sighs of  46 and anxiety quickly spreading throughout the plane, and we hadn't even 47  yet. Thirty minutes passed and we were still  48  there. Then the voice of the pilot came over again,“ Ladies and gentlemen, I know you are  49  , so are we. We only have one engine going right now, and it is working double time. ”

There was crying 50  we had walked in to grave(坟墓). But the pilot told us our one engine was working double time, and his 51  was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air and 52   happened. We arrived in Norfolk and everyone  53  for still being alive.

Although I do sincerely like to have a plan  54  “see what happens”, it really isn’t such a bad life strategy. All too often, I would see people pursuing their goals  55  with inaction just because they don’t have 56   success. Actually, success will never be guaranteed. The  57  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 58  as you thought. You might be smarter than you thought, and the result could be very  59  ! So don’t stay there trying nothing just because there is no 60  of guaran­teed success.
