I was sitting next to a man in a business suit and didn’t pay much attention    37    we both got off at the same stop and walked to the same newsstand to get a (an)    38        paper.

The man    39    the stand was obviously having a bad day. He was    40    and unsmiling as we purchased our papers, which only added more gloom (郁闷)  to my day. The businessman     41    my eyes and I saw him smiling brightly,        42    the newsstand owner for the paper and for being open on such a morning to        43    we were able to get our papers.

As we    44    away, I asked this man why he had continued to be    45        to the newsman when he obviously didn’t respond to his expression of     46    and friendliness.

I have learned that we cannot control people and    52    that come to us, but we can always control our response to them. And in such    53    decisions lie our control and personal    54    to make a positive difference. And it’s something    55    can do.
