18．Two weeks before my 12th birthday，my teacher asked me to conduct an experiment．When I mixed some powder together，they exploded．Molten lava hit me in the face，but I felt no pain．
I vividly remember standing there in a state of calmness．I thought I was in a dream，but however hard I struggled to swim to the surface of consciousness，I couldn't wake up．I didn't understand how terrifying it was until I heard people saying，"Who's that？"That's when I knew I was unrecognisable．
I was taken to hospital，but the doctors didn't know what to do with me．Later I was flown to Houston for surgery．Between the ages of 13and 16，I had 40operations．As each operation came and went，my vision would come back and then fade again．Eventually，it faded completely and I had what was left of my eyes removed for cosmetic（整形）reasons．
Since then，I have lived in total darkness．Most blind people，even if they don't have any sight they're aware of，are still able to perceive light．That gives them a sense of day and night．But not me．I absolutely lost that sense of time passing．
For many years，I felt my sight loss darkening my life like the loss of my parents from which I would never recover．But when I was in my 40s，I realised I had to find a way to live．I trained to become a counsellor，and that has helped me see my experiences in a different way．I can't fix people's broken lives-just like I can't fix my sight-but I can help them find a way to manage．
Sometimes it feels as if all the struggles and negative experiences I've lived through were in fact a kind of preparation for helping others to make their own way towards the light．

2．Quickly ask yourself：What did you eat today？Now tell me how you actually feel．If you're complaining of stress，anxiety，depression，aches and pains，foggy thinking，or just a general lack of energy，a new medical theory will blow your mind．The chances are that those disease-like symptoms are all the result of what's called hidden food allergies（过敏反应）．
This is what Ken Drew found out when he was lucky enough to be recommended to medical practitioner Dr．Patel．Patel is considered something of a genius，and has been called a modern day Louis Pasteur．You've heard of him，of course-Pasteur figured out how to keep milk from getting spoiled．Dr．Patel is like a Louis Pasteur for keeping your body from getting spoiled from chronic（慢性的） diseases．
"Foggy thinking，slightly constipated（便秘的），heart pain，…you name it．It's part of getting old，"you say．"It's just stress．"Most of the body's immune defenses are all located in your stomach，so when you have a hidden food allergy and you expose yourself to harmful foods，your defenses malfunction（故障） and disease-carrying bacteria take over．Had you not eaten that one food you were allergic to for breakfast，you would never have got sick．
Together，Dr Patel and Ken Drew have developed the Reverse My Disease program，which claims it can bulletproof your body against diseases like arthritis（关节炎），Alzheimer's，diabetes，heart disease and cancers．You won't need a prescription and there isn't any kind of medical procedure involved．There's no medical jargon，no complicated diet to do．What it does do is claim to tell you how to hack your body's natural defense system．
Dr．Patel has remained under the radar of the entire medical establishment because his ideas are so threatening to doctors who don't want you to stop being sick enough for them to write you prescriptions．Those doctor visits cost you，so check out Reverse My Disease  if you want to prevent disease by learning how to eat food that won't harm your body．

19．You often find somebody who works around you complaining all the time，don't you？
（36）CAbout 70% of Americans say being around nonstop complainers sometimes has a bad influence on them．Luckily，here are 4tips to help form positive patterns．
1．Self-awareness
When a negative thought pops into your mind，immediately correct it．Instead of telling yourself"That's a nice shirt，but I can't afford it，"change the message to"That will look great with my black pants when I can afford it．"（37）DOf course，everyone complains sometimes．But the less frequently you complain，the better you will feel．
2．Distance yourself（38）FExcuse yourself and go somewhere quiet，somewhere outdoors in the fresh air．Think of something pleasant before returning．You have to take this seriously because negative people can and will pull you into the quicksand（困境）．
3．Don't try to change complainers
If you find yourself trapped in a group of complainers in a meeting or at a social event，simply choose silence．Let their words bounce off you while you think of something else．Attempting to stop the complaining can make you a target．（39）EIf someone says，"I hate Mondays，weekends are too short，"try to think，"I'm glad I rested up over the weekend，so I'm ready to make some improvement on that big project．"
4．（40）BWhen someone is shouting at you angrily，throw the responsibility back at them by asking，"So what do you intend to do about it？"In most cases，complainers don't really want a solution．They just want to speak them out．If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions，they will leave you alone and find someone else to complain to．If so，you will be happy．

A．Find solutions
B．Change responsibility
C．You have got a lot of company．
D．By doing this，it will lead to positive behaviors．
E．But you can redirect the discussion in your own mind．
F．Whenever possible，escape from negative conversations．

20．It was the perfect friendship．We would run and play together； he was by my side everywhere I went．He always sensed when something was wrong，and was there to comfort me．Gambit was my best friend through my most difficult year in high school．And even though I could never have made it through that tough year without him，when it was over，I had to give him up．
This very special friendship began when I joined 4H and became part of its Seeing Eye Puppy Project．I attended meetings and learned training techniques，but each month I found it harder to be there without a pup of my own and watch everyone else try new technique with their pups．
Finally the long-awaited day arrived．Gambit was only seven weeks old，and it was love at first sight．He was the cutest pup I had ever set eyes on．
Gambit and I immediately became best friends．My job was to teach basic commands，socialize him，and give him as much affection as possible dining the fragile （脆弱）puppy months．Gambit's training was practically effortless；he learned commands very quickly and was always obedient （顺从）．
Gambit had been in my home for five months when my junior year began．This was an extremely challenging year for me，and it was great to come home to his bright eyes and wagging （摇）tail．Every day I would talk to Gambit about everything on my mind．I knew he wouldn't judge or reveal my secrets．Gambit and I had some of the best conversations，and all he did was listen．
This July I received the call that it was time for Gambit to return to complete his formal training．My heart sank．I had known he would have to go，but it seemed too soon．It felt like my best friend was moving away．I was at a loss what to do．My time with Gambit came to an end when my best friend and faithful companion moved on to a higher calling．He will help a blind person to be independent．
Gambit taught me that there will be things in life that you may love but have to give up．
All you can do is remember what they taught you，and it will make you a stronger person．
