Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate.He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say.When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I’d be twins!” He was a natural motivator.
One day I went up to Michael and asked him, “I don’t get it.You can’t be positive all the time.How do you do it?”
Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself ‘Mike, you have two choices today.You can choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood.’ I choose the first.Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it.I choose to learn from it.Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life.I choose the positive side of life.” Michael continued, “Life is all about choices.The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live life.”
Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower.I saw him about six months after the accident.I asked him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
He said, “I first thought of my soon-to-born daughter and then remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die.I chose to live.I knew I needed to take action.So when a nurse kept shouting questions at me asking if I was allergic to anything, I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Gravity’.Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I’m choosing to live.Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead’.”
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.

查看习题详情和答案>>was the apple of their eyes. When the boy saw around two years old, the husband saw a medicine bottle
open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and put it in the cupboard. The mother,
preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to it and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened
to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages (剂量). When the child fell down, the mother
hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was unconscious. She was terrified how to face
her husband.
When the distraught (心烦意乱的) father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at
his wife and uttered just four words.
What do you think those four words were? The husband just said,"I love you, darling".
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive (积极主动的) behavior. The child is dead. He
can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he
have taken time to put the bottle away, this would not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had
also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband.
That is what he gave her.
Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who's to blame, whether in a relationship, in a
job or with the people we know and miss out on the warmth in human relationships we could receive by
giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world
to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding onto forgiveness.
If everyone could look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be fewer problems in the world.
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things
are actually not as difficult as you think.
B. a healthy boy
C. the love of the parents
D. a naughty boy
B. Because she thought that was her fault.
C. Because she poisoned her son herself.
D. Because she wanted to kill herself.
B. Forgive what you shouldn't forgive.
C. Treasure what you have now.
D. Envy can mislead the way you go.
B. Grand view of science.
C. Enjoying the countryside view.
D. Life and society.
