"Everything happens for the best", my mother said (31) I faced disappointment. "If you carry on, one day something good will (32) ". And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.
Mother was fight, (33) I discovered after graduating from college in 1932. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sport announcer. I hitchhiked to Chicago and knocked on the door of every (34)—and got turned down every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring an inexperienced person. "Go out in the sticks(偏僻地区) and find a (35) station that’ll give you a chance", she said.

Since Dixon was (37) I had played high-school football, I applied. The job sounded just right for me. (38) I wasn’t hired.

On my way (48), as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words: "If you carry on, one day something good will happen—something (49) wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment".
I often wonder what direction my life might have (50) if I’d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.
