Preparation
Imagine a reporter on the eleven o'clock news interviewing a firefighter who has just ran into a burning building and saved someone's life. Where did they find the courage to walk in the building, then to find and bring the person out of the building?
You never seem to see the hero in such stories gloat. The response is always something along the lines, “It was just my job”.
These high hazard jobs require deep personal courage, but some of the most effective preparation programs in the world. They undergo rigorous training. They read, study, attend lectures and take test after test. They spend weeks and months in physical drills. They practice the same moves, reactions and procedures over and over again until their reactions are automatic and instinctive.
Even after qualification, they work with veterans who observe, counsel and refine as the rookies prepare to face life-and-death situations.
Through this training and experience they develop inner gyroscopes to keep them balanced and give them a clear understanding of what and what not to do in emergencies, all of which opens luck's window that much wider.
