    Michael was always in a good mood. He was a natural motivator(乐天派). One day I asked him, “How can you be  1      all the time.” Michael replied, “Each morning I     2   up and say to myself, ‘Mike, you have two  3       today. You can choose to be in a good mood  4         you can choose to be in a bad mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something  5        happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. I choose the positive side of life.”

Later, I heard Michael was  6        in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a tower.

After 18 hours of  7        , and weeks of intensive care, Michael left the hospital with rods(钢棒)  8         in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the  9       . I asked him what had  10         his mind as the accident took place.

“As I     11    on the ground, I remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live.” “Weren’t you   12       ?” I asked. Michael continued, “They kept telling me I was going to fine.     13     When they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the     14     on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got  15      scared. In their eyes, I read ‘He’s a dead man’. I knew I      16    to take action.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, a big nurse asked me if I was allergic(过敏) to     17    . ‘Yes,’ I said. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they     18     my reply. I took a deep breath and cried, ‘Gravity.’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I’m choosing to live.    19   on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

    Michael     20   ,thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing positive attitude.
