I'VE
ALWAYS
felt
a
need
to
be
prepared
for
whatever
situation
I've
found
myself
in
.
When
I
leave
the
house
,
what
do
I
need
to
bring
?
When
I
teach
a
class
,
what
____________________
should
I
anticipate
?
.
.
.
My
mother
recalls
taking
me
to
a
____________________
store
when
I
was
seven
years
old
.
She
and
I
got
to
the
checkout
____________________
,
and
she
realized
she'd
forgotten
a
couple
of
items
on
her
shopping
list
?
.
?
?
I
didn't
realize
she
was
just
trying
to
amuse
herself
.
So
I
stood
there
,
____________________
and
____________________
.
?
Now
that
I'm
an
adult
,
you'll
never
catch
me
with
less
than
$200
in
my
____________________
?
.
I've
always
admired
people
who
are
over
-
prepared
.
In
college
,
I
had
a
____________________
named
Norman
Meyrowitz
.
One
day
he
was
giving
a
presentation
on
an
overhead
____________________
and
in
the
middle
of
his
talk
,
the
____________________
on
the
projector
blew
out
?
.
?
We
watched
him
walk
over
to
his
____________________
and
pull
something
out
.
?
?
Our
professor
,
Andy
van
Dam
,
happened
to
be
sitting
next
to
me
.
He
leaned
over
and
said
,
?
This
guy
is
going
places
.
?
He
had
that
right
.
Norm
became
a
top
____________________
at
Macromedia
Inc
?
Another
way
to
be
prepared
is
to
think
negatively
.
Yes
,
I'm
a
great
____________________

I've
often
told
my
students
:
?
When
you
go
into
the
____________________
,
the
only
thing
you
can
count
on
is
what
you
take
with
you
.
?
And
essentially
,
the
wilderness
is
anywhere
but
