Chance Favors Only the Prepared Mind

I have got benefits from making preparations in advance since I was a child. For example, I kept making some preparations for the next term every vacation instead of spending all time in playing so that I knew how to make my schedule and use my time effectively in a new term. Owing to this habit, I avoided many problems others suffered and got a more pleasant result. Thus, I always believe that chance favors only the prepared mind.  
在我還是小孩的時(shí)候我就從提前準(zhǔn)備中獲益了。例如，我一直都在假期的時(shí)候?yàn)橄聜�(gè)學(xué)期做一些準(zhǔn)備而不是把所有的時(shí)間都花在玩上，所以我知道如何制定我的時(shí)間表，在新學(xué)期中充分有效地利用我的時(shí)間。由于這個(gè)習(xí)慣，我避免許多問(wèn)題別人經(jīng)歷的問(wèn)題，而且結(jié)果也更愉快。因此，我一直相信，機(jī)會(huì)只青睞有準(zhǔn)備的人。
We are not difficult to notice that there are always chances, but not all people can catch them. For those people who have not made any preparation, they cannot see any chance but always difficulty or disadvantage. However, for those people who keep making preparation all the time, they can notice every chance and take full advantage of it. For example, if a college student makes full use of his time to learn various things assiduously within his college life, he will not feel so hard when hunting a job. On the contrary, if he spends all his time in playing and sleeping, he will suffer a lot in making his living. 
不難發(fā)現(xiàn)，機(jī)會(huì)很多，但不是所有的人都能抓住。對(duì)于那些沒(méi)有做任何準(zhǔn)備的人，他們看不到任何的機(jī)會(huì)，而是困難或缺點(diǎn)。然而，對(duì)于那些一直在做準(zhǔn)備人，他們會(huì)注意到每一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，并充分利用。例如，如果一個(gè)大學(xué)生在他的大學(xué)生活中充分利用他的時(shí)間刻苦學(xué)習(xí)各種各樣的知識(shí)，就業(yè)的時(shí)候他就不會(huì)感到那么的困難。相反，如果他把所有的時(shí)間都用在玩和睡覺(jué)上，在謀生的路上他會(huì)遇到很多困難。
In addition, someone will say that sharp brain can also make contribution to our success and we needn’t to make preparation all the time. However, a repetition of practices is the resort of gaining genuine knowledge. Without practice, without making preparation in advance, we will lack of the source of creation and we will never have a sharp mind. 
此外，有人會(huì)說(shuō)聰明的腦袋對(duì)我們的成功也是有貢獻(xiàn)的，我們不需要一直都在做準(zhǔn)備。然而，實(shí)踐出真知。沒(méi)有實(shí)踐，沒(méi)有提前做好準(zhǔn)備，我們會(huì)缺乏創(chuàng)新的源泉，我們永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)有敏銳的頭腦。
In a word, making preparation in advance is significant and necessary. To be successful, we need to learn more, practice more.  
總之，提前做好準(zhǔn)備是很重要和必要的。要取得成功，我們需要多學(xué)多練。
