生活充满选择(Choose life),标签：历史的选择作文,以选择为题的作文,http://www.67jx.com迈克尔是那种你真想恨一恨的家伙，他总是乐呵呵的，总是说些积极上进的话。如果有人问他近况如何，他会这样回答：“如果我还能再好，我就成双胞胎了!”他生来就会让人积极进取。
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?"
如果哪位雇员有天过得很糟糕，迈克尔会告诉他如何看待问题的积极一面。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。你怎么能总是那样积极乐观?你是如何做到这一点的?”
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。"
迈克尔回答说，“每天早晨醒来时我对自己说，‘迈克，今天你有两种选择。你可以选择心情愉快，你也可以选择心情恶劣。’我选择心情愉快。每次什么不愉快的事情发生时，我可以选择成为一个牺牲品，也可以选择从中吸取教训。我选择从中吸取教训。每次有什么人找我来抱怨，我可以选择接受他们的抱怨，也可以选择向他指出生活的积极面。我选择指出生活的积极面。”
"yeah， right。 it isn't that easy。" i protested。
“是的，不错。可并不那么容易呀。”我表示异议。
"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。
“其实很容易，”迈克尔说。“生活就是选择。从每一事物剔除一切枝节后剩下的都是一种选择。你选择如何应付生活中的种种情形。你选择他人会怎样影响你的情绪。你选择是心情愉快还是心情恶劣。说到底：如何生活是你自己的选择。”我琢磨着迈克尔的这席话。
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。
那以后不久，我离开了工作数年的大企业去创建自己的公司。我们失去了联系，但当我对生活做出一种选择而非对它做出反应时，我时常想起迈克尔。几年之后，我听说迈克尔遭遇一场恶性事故，从一座通讯大楼的60英尺高处掉了下来。
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。
在经历了18个小时的手术和数周的精心护理之后，迈克尔出院了，背部装有金属杆。大约事故半年之后，我见到了迈克尔。当我问他怎么样时，他回答，“如果我还能再好，我就成双胞胎了。想看看我的伤疤吗?”我拒绝看他的伤痕，但的确问了他事故发生时他是怎么想的。
