Life is full of choices 生活充滿選擇
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,他總是樂呵呵的,總是說些積極上進(jìn)的話。如果有人問他近況如何,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得很糟糕,邁克爾會(huì)告訴他如何看待問題的積極一面。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:“我真弄不明白。你怎么能總是那樣積極樂觀?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,“每天早晨醒來(lái)時(shí)我對(duì)自己說,‘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。
