[转帖]Life is about choices
Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a goodmood 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. <br/>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?" <br/>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." <br/>"Yeah, right. It isn't that easy." I protested. <br/>"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. <br/>Soon
thereafter, I left the big enterprise that I had worked in for years to
start my own business. We lost touch, but I often though about him when
I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years
later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off
60 feet from a communications tower. <br/>After l8 hours of
surgery, and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the
hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months
after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were
any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his
wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident
took place. <br/>"The first thing that went through my mind
was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied.
"Then, as I lay on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could
choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live." "Weren't you
scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "...
the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine.
But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the
expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really
scared. In their eyes, l read 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to
take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly
nurse shouting questions at me" said Michael. "She asked me if I was
allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I said. The doctors and nurses stopped
working as they waited for my reply. 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'." <br/>Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. <br/>I learned from him that every day we have a choice to live fully. Attitude is everything. 生活就是一种选择～ <p>没错，就是这样！！！</p> That's it! life is a choice
