Here, I want to share the story that I have read, enjoy :)
Jerry is the manager of a restaurant in America. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. One day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don't get it! No one can be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"
Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood I always choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always 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 always choose the positive side of life."
"But it's not always that easy," I protested.
"Yes, it is," Jerry said "Life is all about choices.
Several years later, Jerry had an accident. The left the back door of his restaurant open one morning and was robbed by three armed men. The robbers shot him.
After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital. I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied. "Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or choose to die. I chose to live."
Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me. I was going to be fine.

"What did you do then?" I asked.
"I told them, 'I am choosing to live. Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'."
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
Our attitude is our own decision..
No one can take control of our decision, and if we choose the good one, our life will be lots easier.
We can choose whether we want to be a good person or bad person, whether we want to think positive or negative, and even whether we want to live or not.
