What kinds of situation cause you most stress? How do you try to react to them?2. Among all the people you know, who has the attitude to life that you most admire?A MotivatorHe was a natural motivator.If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how he could lo the positive side of the situation. Observing this style really made me curious, so one day I w up to Michael and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. H you manage to be so positive all the time?" ①Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, 'You have two choices today. Yo choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mo Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept the complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose to point out the positive si life. ""I don't think it's as easy as that," I protested. ②"Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, eve situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect you mood. It's your choice how you live your life." I reflected on what Michael said.③Soon after, I left the company to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I was faced with difficult choices.④Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.⑤I saw him about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If were any better, I'd be twins. ⑥Do you want to see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, bu did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.⑦"The first thing was the well-being of my soon-to-be-born daughter," Michael replied."Then, lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choos 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 fin But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, 'he's a dead man.' I knew I nee to take action.""What did you do?"I asked."Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said Michael. "She asked if I allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited f reply. I took a deep breath and yelled…'Gravity. 'Over their laughter, I told them, I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, noif I'm dead. '"Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. After all, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.⑧Key Sentences1. Observing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked h "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you manage to be so pos all the time?"他的这种方式着实让我好奇，所以有一天我找到迈克尔问：“我真弄不明白。
