Question

On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book.
During his talk, Jack1his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?”2shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would3. But I jumped up, ran up the4to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air,5raced through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they6security guards and take me from the stage?7my desire for bold (大胆的)action was louder than any8voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the9to come to us. We must take10to create what we want!’’
After his talk, I11to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next months, I sent him emails12my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy13other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack.
A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant arrow that would show me the way.
I e-mailed him, and then again — but got no 14. As I sat down at my computer to15my e-mails, I16woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely17that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs.
Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We18believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n)19way. So we don’t try. We20. But as Wayne Gretzky said，“You’11 always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career.
Now what are you waiting for?
