人生路上，一樣的起點(diǎn)，不同的選擇，造就不同的人生。路在腳下，向左走還是向右走，請(qǐng)勇敢做出選擇，并堅(jiān)定向前走!
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.
邁克爾是那種你真想恨一恨的家伙，他總是樂(lè)呵呵的，總是說(shuō)些積極上進(jìn)的話。如果有人問(wèn)他近況如何，他會(huì)這樣回答：“如果我還能再好，我就成雙胞胎了!”他生來(lái)就會(huì)讓人積極進(jìn)取。
If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so 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?
如果哪位雇員有天過(guò)得很糟糕，邁克爾會(huì)告訴他如何看待問(wèn)題的積極一面。他的這種方式著實(shí)讓我好奇，所以有一天我找到邁克爾問(wèn)：“我真弄不明白。你怎么能總是那樣積極樂(lè)觀?你是如何做到這一點(diǎn)的?”
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. 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.
邁克爾回答說(shuō)，“每天早晨醒來(lái)時(shí)我對(duì)自己說(shuō)，‘邁克，今天你有兩種選擇。你可以選擇心情愉快，你也可以選擇心情惡劣。’我選擇心情愉快。每次什么不愉快的事情發(fā)生時(shí)，我可以選擇成為一個(gè)犧牲品，也可以選擇從中吸取教訓(xùn)。我選擇從中吸取教訓(xùn)。每次有什么人找我來(lái)抱怨，我可以選擇接受他們的抱怨，也可以選擇向他指出生活的積極面。我選擇指出生活的積極面。”
Yeah, right. It isn’t that easy. I protested.
“是的，不錯(cuò)。可并不那么容易呀。”我表示異議。
Yes it is, Michael said. Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live life. I reflected on what Michael said.
“其實(shí)很容易，”邁克爾說(shuō)。“生活就是選擇。從每一事物剔除一切枝節(jié)后剩下的都是一種選擇。你選擇如何應(yīng)付生活中的種種情形。你選擇他人會(huì)怎樣影響你的情緒。你選擇是心情愉快還是心情惡劣。說(shuō)到底：如何生活是你自己的選擇。”我琢磨著邁克爾的這席話。
