But I jumped up, ran up the  4   to the stage, and grabbed the bill.As I was launching myself in the air, thoughts  5    through my mind-was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800 people?Would they    6  security guards and take me from the stage?  7   my desire for bold action was louder than any   8   voice.      As I got the bill from his hand, he said, "That's it!We can't wait for the   9   to come to us.We must take action to 10  what we want!"      After his talk, I managed to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his  11    email address.Over the next months, I sent him emails  12   my vision and dreams with him.He kindly emailed back lots of encouragement.But my life got  13   with other things.I stopped emailing Jack.      A year later, my dreams had worn away.I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant  14   that would show me the way.      I emailed him, and then again-but got no  15  . As I sat down at my computer to check my emails, I 16    woke up.What was I doing?I was waiting!Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 17   that hundreddollar bill, while they sat 18   to their chairs.      Usually we all have a "Jack"  for whom we wait-whether it's a person, a place or a thing.We   19    believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n)  20  way.So we don't try.We give up. But as Wayne Gretzky said: "You'll 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?
