1 . Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate. He was always in a good mood and always had something _________ to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would _________, “If I were any better,I would be twins!”
He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who had _________ him around from restaurant to restaurant. The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of his _________. He was a natural motivator (激发者). If an employee was having a _________ day, Jerry was there comforting _________ how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style _________ made me curious,so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, “I don’t get it! Not everyone can be a positive _________ all of the time. How do you do it?”
Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and _________ to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can __________ to be either in a good mood or in a bad mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad __________, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to __________ it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me __________,I can choose to __________ their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.”
“Yeah, right. But it’s not that __________.” I protested.
“Yes,it is.” Jerry said. “Life is all about __________. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you __________ to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you __________.”
I __________ on what Jerry said. Soon there after, I left the __________ industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.
