Window
Bill and John,both seriously ill,lived in the same room at Marie Hospital.John lived next to the only window of the room and was allowed to  36 in his bed and watch for an hour every day.But Bill had to spend all his time  37 on his back.
They became friends soon and talked for hours every day.They spoke of their families,their children,their hobbies,and their  38 in the American army.Each day John would sit up and  39 to his roommate Bill what he could see outside the window.
Through John’s description,Bill’s world was  40 and brightened by all the activities and colors of the outside world.The window overlooked a beautiful park with a lovely  41 ,John told Bill.Ducks played on the water  42 children sailed their model boats.And a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.As John described all these  43 ,Bill would close his eyes and  44 the picturesque scene.Bill was recovering  45 . However,John became weak day by day.
Late one night,Bill was lying in bed  46 the ceiling when John began to cough seriously.Then doctors and nurses rushed to the room.Thirty minutes later, John  47 coughing.Now,there was only silence—  48 silence.
The following morning,Bill was moved to the bed next to the window at his request.Slowly and
  49 ,he supported himself up on one elbow (胳膊)to take the first look.But to his  50 ,he could see nothing but a  51 wall.
Only at that moment did he begin to realize that the pursuit(追求)of happiness was a matter of  52 .It was a positive attitude we chose to express.It was not a gift that was  53 to our doorstep each morning,nor did it come through the window.It was all inward journey.Whether a man is happy or not depends on his own thoughts  54 anything outward.
So Bill began to describe the  55 world to his new roommate that he saw through the only window of the room.

When the team was cheering for their    52  , Michael was sitting in the corner all alone. The coach came to him and said, “You were fantastic! Tell me    53   you did it?”
Tears in eyes, Michael said, “Well, you knew my dad died, but did you know he was blind?” He    54   a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first time he could    55   me play, and I wanted to show him I could do it!”

We have all heard the old phrase “attitude is everything”, and that phrase is certainly true.Your attitude can have a great impact on your personal motivation, so it is important to keep a positive attitude no matter what challenges you face.
As a matter of fact, keeping your attitude positive in the face of difficulties is the motivation tip that most successful business owners will tell you.The most successful business owners, from Sam Walton to Bill Gates, have all been able to triumph in the face of unpleasant situations.It is those successful business owners who tell you that attitude is everything.But how you deal with that knowledge will determine your level of success.
One of the most important ways to carry out “attitude is everything” is to observe who you associate with and who you surround yourself with.That is because when you surround yourself with negative people, their negative attitudes will infect you.So keeping your associates, colleagues, co-workers and friends as positive as possible is a great way to put the phrase “attitude is everything” into practice.
Whatever you decide to do in life, your attitude will have a great effect on the success you achieve.Success , whether in the world of business or in your personal life, is directly related to your attitude, and the attitude you bring to your work.A positive attitude will help you achieve greater success in your job, no matter what your current level of employment.
