“Wow!” Sheila said, “That’s what I call   18  !”
The next morning, Sheila opened her lunch bag and looked inside. Sure enough, she found another   19  . But when she opened the bag at lunchtime in the dining hall, she discovered a piece of pizza, an orange, and a cake.
“My lunch bag  20  be magic,” Sheila said.
“There’s no such thing as magic,” her friend Douglas  21  .
“There is,” Sheila said. “My mother   22  packs me a sandwich. But ever since I got this new lunch bag, the sandwich has changed into something I like.”
“Maybe your mother’s packing   23  things for a change.”
“No,” Sheila said. “I checked in the morning. The sandwich changes   24  .”
“You are not the   25  one with a magic lunch bag,” Beatrice said, turning around from the table behind her. “I have one, too. See? This is my magic bag.”
“Hey,” Sheila said. “My lunch bag really looks like yours.”
“Mine is magic,” said Beatrice. “Every day my dad  26  leftovers(剩饭), but at lunchtime I find a sandwich---my favorite!”
Sheila started   27  .
“What’s so funny?” Beatrice asked.
“That’s the sandwich my mother packs,” Sheila said. “We’ve been getting our lunch bags  28  up.”

When something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,“Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.”or “I know I’m late,but it’s not my mistake;the car broke down.”It is probably not your mistake,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
 Winners are good at dealing with problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car checked more regularly. Or, you might start to carry the useful phone numbers with you, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague(同事) causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t depend on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
  This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.
