He is always in a good mood (情绪）and always has something helpful to say. If a clerk was having a badday, Michael would tell him how to look on the right side of the situation. It really made me surprised, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him,“I can't believe that you are optimistic 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 you can choose to be in a bad mood.’I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can point out the right side of life.”“Yes, that's right, but it isn't so easy.”Although I agreed with him.“Yes, it is,”Michael said. “Life is all about choice; every situation is a choice. You should choose how you face the situations. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line is: It's your choice how you live your life. I ever fell off 60 feet from a tower and hurt badly. When the doctor and nurses gave up treating me, I told them, ‘I'm choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”I thought about what Michael said.Michael lived, because of the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that we should have a choice to live fully every day; attitude is everything.63.
