Unit 2 课文1只读版 Life is all about Choices
Mike was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.If someone asked him how he was doing he would reply “couldn't be better！”He was really a tireless and carefree young man.
Mike used to say,“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 happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn a good lesson.I choose to learn from life.”
I tried to understand what he said.Indeed, life is all about choices.Every situation is a choice.You can either choose an optimistic attitude or choose a pessimistic attitude.The bottom line is: You're living your life and you make it either happy or depressing.
Later I left the big company where we had worked together, but I often thought about Mike when I made a choice.I learned when there were choices, to take a positive outlook instead of losing hope and getting depressed.
Several years later I was involved in a car accident and my legs were seriously injured.When I was lying on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die.I chose to live.
I lived and succeeded in business,thanks to the treatment of the doctors and also to Mike’s amazing attitude towards life.People like to say,“Choose the one you love and love the one you choose.”Why not choose the one we love and live happily?
生活就是选择
迈克是那种让你又疼又爱的家伙。他总是心情很好，总是讲让人振奋的话。如果有人问他近来怎么样时，他总会回答：“再好不过了！”他真正是一个精力充沛、无忧无虑的年轻人。
迈克常说：“每天早晨我醒来就对自己说，'迈克，你今天有两种选择，你可以选择一个好心情，也可以选择一个坏心情。’我选择了好心情。每当有事情发生的时候，我可以选择做一个受害者，也可以选择从中汲取好的经验。我选择向生活学习。”
我努力去理解他说的这番话，生活实际上就是选择。每种情况都是一种选择。你可以选择乐观的态度，也可以选择悲观的态度。说到底是你在生活，是你使生活幸福或沮丧。
后来，我离开了我们在一起工作过的那家大公司。不过当我做出一个选择时，我常想起迈克。我学会了在有选择时采取积极的态度，而不会失去希望，不会沮丧。
几年后，我出了一场车祸，双腿受了重伤。我躺在地上时，记起了我有两种选择：我可以选择活下去，也可以选择死。我选择了活下去。
我活了下来，而且生意做得很成功，这多亏了医生的治疔，也归功于迈克对待生活非凡的态度。人们常说，“选你所爱，爱你所选。”为什么我们不选自己所爱，并且快乐地活着呢！
