Jerry is a popular manager of a restaurant. It was his attitude 21 made the waiters follow him. He was a natural motivator (鼓舞人心的人). If a(n) 22 was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling him/her how to look on the 23 side of the situation.
This attitude really made me 24, so one day I asked him, “I don’t get it! No one can be a positive person 25. How can you manage it?”
“Every time something bad happens, I can choose to 26 it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining and I can 27 the positive side of life. Why don’t we just do that later?” Jerry said.
Jerry told me an unusual story out of his experience. One day he left the back door of his restaurant 28 and was robbed by three men. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from 29 , slipped off the combination (开启号码的号码组合). The robbers got angry and 30 him.
31 , Jerry was found quickly and taken to the hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry 32 with fragments (碎片) of the bullets (子弹) still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the 33 . I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. “Did you lose consciousness? Weren’t you 34 ?” I asked.
“No,” Jerry said, “35 when I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.”
“A nurse asked if I was allergic (过敏的) to anything. ‘Yes’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped 36 as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘37 !’”
“Over the laughter, I told them, ‘Please 38 on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”
Jerry survived 39 the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. Attitude, after all, is 40 .
