题目内容
20.Almost everyone label me an optimist(乐天派).But even optimists can temporarily lose hope.This was the case for me on a particular cold and gloomy January day.I felt overwhelmed by the painful challenge I was dealing with in my personal life.Marriage,health,and financial struggles had joined forces to create a tornado of emotion that threatened to crush my spirit.I felt angry.The weather seemed to reflect my mood-the gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunlight.As I labored(劳动) through my workday,I just couldn't shake a sense of hopelessness.About midway through the day,I left work to get some lunch.Still feeling negative,I noticed that the sun had come out for a brief moment.I began to think about my negative attitude and reminded myself that I was responsible for choosing my state of mind.While I could not ignore the pain I was going through,I could choose to dwell on(老想着) the negative or I could choose to shift my thinking to a more positive focus.Even as I consciously reminded myself of this truth,I felt incapable of making the shift.
As I stopped at a red light,I looked at the car directly in front of mine.The personalized license plate(车牌) caught my eye-it read"Sunout".This brought an immediate smile to my face.It felt like a reminder that the sun was shining after all.But then my eyes moved to the car that was perfectly parallel(平行) to the Sunout vehicle.The license plate on the car read"Complainer".This brought more than a smile to my face as I laugh out loud!Seeing the two very opposite license plates right next to each other at the exact moment in time,I felt my spirits and mood lift as I made the conscious decision to choose a positive attitude.
I returned to work and shared my story with several co-workers who responded with warm laughter.I learned that day that when we are feeling too discouraged to bring ourselves out of a state of negativity,relief is just near!
