Jerry is the manager of arestaurant. He is always in a
good mood.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices

When someone would askhim how he was doing, hewould always reply,
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
4/56
"If I were any better, Iwould be twins!"

Many of the waiters at hisrestaurant quit their jobs
when he changed jobs,
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
6/56
so they could follow himaround from restaurant to
restaurant
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
7/56
Why
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
8/56
Because
Jerry was a naturalmotivator.

If an employee was having abad day,
Jerry was always there, tellingthe employee how to look onthe positive side of thesituation.

Seeing this style really made
me curious, so one day I wentup to Jerry and asked him
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
11/56
"I don't get it! No one can be
a positive person all of thetime. How do you do it?"
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
12/56
Jerry replied, "Each morningI wake up and say to myself,I have two choices today. I
can choose to be in a goodmood or I can choose to be
in a bad mood.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
13/56
I always choose to be in a
good mood.
Each time something badhappens, I can choose tobe victim or I can choose to
learn from it. I alwayschoose to learn from it.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
14/56
Every time someone comesto me complaining, I can
choose to accept theircomplaining or I can pointout the positive side of life.
I always choose the positive
side of life."

"But it's not always thateasy, I protested.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
16/56
"Yes it is," Jerry said.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
17/56
"Life is all about choices.When you cut away all the
junk every situation is achoice.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
18/56
You choose how you react to
situations.You choose how people willaffect your mood.
You choose to be in a goodmood or bad mood.
It's your choice how you live yourlife."

Several years later,
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
20/56
I heard that Jerry accidentallydid something you are never
supposed to do in therestaurant business.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
21/56
He left the back door of hisrestaurant open
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
22/56
And then ???
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
23/56
In the morning,
he was robbed by threearmed men.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices

While Jerry trying to open
the safe box,
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
27/56
his hand, shaking fromnervousness, slipped offthe combination.
The robbers panicked andshot him.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices

Luckily, Jerry was foundquickly and rushed to the
hospital.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
29/56
After 18 hours of surgery
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
30/56
and
weeks of intensive care,
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
31/56
Jerry was released from thehospital with fragments ofthe bullets still in his body.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
32/56
I saw Jerry about sixmonths after the accident.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
33/56
When I asked him how he
was,
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
34/56
he replied, "If I were anybetter, I'd be twins. Want to
see my scars?"
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
35/56
I declined to see hiswounds, but did ask himwhat had gone throughhis mind as the robberytook place.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
36/56
"The first thing that wentthrough my mind was that
I should have locked theback door," Jerry replied.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
37/56
"Then, after they shot me, asI lay on the floor, Iremembered that I had two
choices: I could choose tolive or could choose to die. I
chose to live."
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
38/56
"Weren't you scared
I asked?
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
39/56
Jerry continued, "Theparamedics were great.
They kept telling me I wasgoing to be fine.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
40/56
But when they wheeled meinto the Emergency Roomand I saw the expression on
the faces of the doctors andnurses, I got really scared.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
41/56
In their eyes, I read 'He's adead man.'
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
42/56
I knew I needed to takeaction."
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
43/56
"What did you do?" I asked.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
44/56
"Well, there was a big nurse
shouting questions at me,"said Jerry. "She asked if I
was allergic to anything."
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
45/56
'Yes,' I replied.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
46/56
The doctors and nursesstopped working as they
waited for my reply.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
47/56
I took a deep breath
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
48/56
and yelled, 'Bullets!'
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
49/56
Over their laughter, I told
them,
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
50/56
'I am choosing to live.
Please operate on me asif I am alive, not dead'.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
51/56
"Jerry lived thanks to theskill of his doctors, but alsobecause of his amazingattitude.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
52/56
I learned from him
that
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
53/56
every day you have thechoice to either enjoy your
life or to hate it.
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
54/56
The only thing that is trulyyours -- that no one can
control or take from you-
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
55/56
is your attitude,
7/29/2019 0d28you Have Two Choices
56/56
so if you can take care ofthat, everything else in life
becomes much easier.
