You have
two choices
![Page 2: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Jerry is the manager of a restaurant. He is always in a good mood.
![Page 3: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would always reply,
![Page 4: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
"If I were any better, I would be twins!"
![Page 5: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their jobs when he changed jobs,
![Page 6: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
so they could follow him around from restaurant to restaurant
![Page 7: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why ?
![Page 8: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Because
Jerry was a natural motivator.
![Page 9: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
If an employee was having a bad day,
Jerry was always there, telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
![Page 10: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him :
![Page 11: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
"I don't get it! No one can be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"
![Page 12: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood.
![Page 13: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
I always choose to be in a good mood.
Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from it.
![Page 14: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
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 always choose the positive side of life."
![Page 15: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
"But it's not always that easy,“ I protested.
![Page 16: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
"Yes it is," Jerry said.
![Page 17: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
"Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk every situation is a choice.
![Page 18: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
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.
It's your choice how you live your life."
![Page 19: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Several years later,
![Page 20: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
I heard that Jerry accidentally did something you are never supposed to do in the restaurant business.
![Page 21: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
He left the back door of his restaurant open
![Page 22: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
And then ???
![Page 23: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In the morning,
he was robbed by three armed men.
![Page 24: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
They want?
![Page 25: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
#123*+!@$%&*~
![Page 26: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
While Jerry trying to open
the safe box,
![Page 27: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination.
The robbers panicked and shot him.
![Page 28: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the hospital.
![Page 29: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
After 18 hours of surgery
![Page 30: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
and
weeks of intensive care,
![Page 31: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body.…
![Page 32: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.
![Page 33: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
When I asked him how he was,
![Page 34: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Want to see my scars?"
![Page 35: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.
![Page 36: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied.
![Page 37: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
"Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or could choose to die. I chose to live."
![Page 38: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
"Weren't you scared“
I asked?
![Page 39: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine.
![Page 40: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
But when they wheeled me into the Emergency Room and I saw the expression on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.
![Page 41: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
In their eyes, I read 'He's a dead man.'
![Page 42: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
I knew I needed to take action."
![Page 43: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
"What did you do?" I asked.
![Page 44: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
"Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything."
![Page 45: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
'Yes,' I replied.
![Page 46: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply.
![Page 47: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
I took a deep breath
![Page 48: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
and yelled, 'Bullets!'
![Page 49: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Over their laughter, I told them,
![Page 50: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
'I am choosing to live. Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'.
![Page 51: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
"Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
![Page 52: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
I learned from him that
![Page 53: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
every day you have the choice to either enjoy your life or to hate it.
![Page 54: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The only thing that is truly yours -- that no one can control or take from you-
![Page 55: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
is your attitude,
![Page 56: Positiveattitude](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013101/556187eed8b42ace7d8b46be/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
so if you can take care of that, everything else in life becomes much easier.
