幸福的标准是什么?每一个人都会有不同的标准。有的人说:“我有一口饭吃就是幸福。”有的人说:“我有一份稳定的工作就是幸福。”有的人说:“全家平安就是幸福。”还有的人说:“与相爱的人白头偕老就是幸福。”幸福是种心理感受。同样不幸也是种心理感受。可是幸福与不幸福没有明显的界限,随着各自看待的标准不同而不同。
Up to You 快乐还是痛苦,有你来定
Jerry was the kind of guy who was always in a good mood
and always had something positive to say.
One day I went up to Jerry and asked him, "I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"
Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, 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. "
"Yeah, right, it’s not that easy," I protested.
"Yes it is," Jerry said. "Life is all about choices.
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 life."
I reflected on what Jerry said. Soon thereafter, I changed my job. We lost touch.
Several years later, I heard that Jerry was robbed and was shot.
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.
When I asked him how he was, he replied, "I feel really good.”
I asked him what had gone through his mind when he was taken to the hospital.
Jerry replied, “The first thing came to my mind was that I should have closed the back door.
Then I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die.
I chose to live. ”
Jerry continued, "The nurses kept telling me I was going to be fine.
But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses scared me.
In their eyes, I read, ‘He’s a dead man. ‘I knew I needed to take action."
"What did you do?" I asked.
"Well, a nurse asked if I was allergic to anything," said Jerry,
"‘Yes,’ I replied. The doctors and nurses were waiting for my reply...
I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."
Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live positively.
