Around twenty years ago I was living in New York.1       I had a lot of experience and a master’s degree,I could not find 2        work.

I was 3       a school bus to make ends meet and 4        with a friend of mine,for I had lost my flat. I had 5        five interviews (面试) with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 6        the job. “Why has my life become so 7        ?” I thought painfully.

As I pulled the bus over to 8       a little girl,she handed me an earring 9        I should keep it 10        somebody claimed (认领) it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.

  At first I got angry. Then it 11        me—I had been giving all of my 12        to what was going wrong with my 13      rather than what was right!I decided then to make a 14      of fifty things I was happy with. Later,I decided to 15        more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for 16        from a lady who was a director at a large 17      . She asked me if I would 18       a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.

  My 19        went very well,and before long I got a well-paid job. To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of 20        that I completely changed my life.
