You can choose to be in a good mood (心情) 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 (受害者) or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to be sad about their complaint or I can look at the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.”
“ Yeah, right. But it isn’t that easy, is it?” I said.“ Yes, it is,” Jerry said. “Life is all about choices. You have the right to choose to be happy or sad. Why not choose a happy life?”

【推荐3】When I was in the middle school, I seldom raised my hands to answer questions in class. When the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me. And I found lots of my classmates were just like me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “At the beginning of the class, let me tell you a story.” He said.
“When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded in half, wrote their names in bold (粗体) with the most eye-catching color, and then placed the cardboard on their seats. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.
“I couldn’t understand that my classmates told me the speakers were all top people who meant chances. When your answer was to their surprise, it means they might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance and then catch it.

Lewis Carrol was born on January 27, 1832 in Daresbury, Cheshire, England. His real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He was the oldest boy in a family of eleven children. As a child, he did well in mathematics and won many prizes. He also created games for himself and his brothers and sisters.
Lewis Carrol studied at Richmond School (1844-1845) and Rugby School (1846-1850). In 1850, he started studying at Christ Church, Oxford. After finishing his studies, he became a teacher of mathematics at Oxford. Apart from teaching mathematics, he also took photos and wrote essays and poems.
Lewis Carrol loved children. He became friends with the children of Henry George Liddel, Alice and her sisters Lorina and Edith. The three little girls often visited the young mathematics teacher in his college rooms.
