　　I know a fine 45-year-old gentleman who suffered from a serious illness that can't be treated．At first he was so unhappy, disappointed and angry．But then he realized that he really had two choices．Number 1：He could live the rest of his short life complaining and making life sad for himself and his family．Number 2：He could choose to be thankful for the remaining health and strength he still had, and to make the most of each day by loving and helping his wife and kids．

　　Finally, he chose the latter．This man is not alone．This is a choice many people make every day．And it's the choice that decides so much about our life．Someone said, “Life is 10％ of what happens to us and 90％ of how we choose to react to it．” And the attitude we choose to have every day makes the difference between being happy and being sad．You know, our attitude is more important than what happened in the past．It's more important than our education, or the kind of family we come from, because unfair, bad things happen to all of us, such as sickness, unfortunate accidents, problems at work or in our marriage and so on．

　　You know, there are some things in life we simply cannot change or control, like certain disease, laws, the weather, and accidents on the road．We cannot control other people's attitude toward us either, but we can always control our own attitude! And friends, your attitude every day makes all the difference to your life．So no matter how bad things become, you can still choose to either let it make you bitter, or let it make you better．Just think for a minute …

　　A dog can’t speak words, but it can “talk”．It has feelings just as you do．At times it may feel angry or afraid．Watch a dog closely．You can find out what it feels．You can see what it is trying to tell you．When you are afraid, you may look down shyly．A fearful dog looks away from you．It may run away too when you are angry with people, you look at them unhappily．An angry dog also does this, and sometimes the hair along its back stands up．

　　Do you feel guilty when you have done something you shouldn’t? Dogs can feel guilty too．At times when I come home, my dog gives me a guilty look．Then I know he’s done something wrong．

　　Dogs need love and attention．Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time．Some dogs even snap if they don’t get enough attention．

For the 17 years my life was very happy. Then the first sad thing happened. My mother became very ill, and soon she knew that she was dying. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to go to her room. She held our hands and said, “Victor and Elizabeth, my children, I’m very happy because you love each other, and because one day you’ll get married. Everyone in the family loves you, Elizabeth. Will you take my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone.”
My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her dearly. Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother’s death. The time came for me to go to university. I didn’t want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that I should go. It was hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.
On my first day at university I met my teacher, Professor Waldman, who was one of the greatest scientists in the world. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university. He ended his talk by saying, “Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must study hard and discover everything that you can. This is why God made you intelligent—to help other people.”
After the professor’s talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things.
I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized that I could learn to be a very good scientist.
The professor helped me very much, and other important scientists who were his friends helped me, too. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day’s holiday during the next two years, I did not go home, and my letters to my family were very short.
After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them. In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month, I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.
I built a tall mast about 150 meters high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to give life to things that were dead.
Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.

Some people have unforgettable past memories that make them sad and angry. Well, to deal with this, I suggest that you pick yourself up and move ahead. It is easier said than done! So here are a few ways to bring about the change.
Do something you really love doing. We all have interest in what we love working on, but most of us don’t have any time to do anything about them. Well, this is your time to do that! It’ll take your mind away from whatever is making you unhappy and of course it’ll help you remember your happy days in the past when you used to relax more often.
Think long and hard. I’m sure you must be doing this already, but I want you to think about the effect that forgiving other people could have. Think about whether you are ready to accept the changes this might bring.
Write about your feelings. Most people are too lazy to write, but it is often the best way to clear your mind. Write about your experiences and then forget about your past memories.
