Mike was the kind of guy you love to hate.He was always happy and always had something interesting to say. If someoneasked him how he was doing, he would reply, "Couldn't be better!" Hewas really a care-free young man and never felt tired.

    Mike used to say, "Each morning I wakeup and say to myself, 'Mike, you have two choices (选择) today. You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be upset.'I choose to be happy. Each time something happens, I am always ready to learn agood lesson. I choose to learn from life."

    I tried to understand what he said. Indeedlife is all about choices. Every situation is a choice. The bottom line is: You'reliving your life and you make it either happy or sad.

    Several years later I had a car accidentand my legs were seriously injured. When I was lying on the ground, Iremembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or choose to die. Ichose to live.

    People like to say, "Choosethe one you love and love the one you choose." Why not choose the one welove and live happily?

    A girl went to her father and told him that her life was too hard. She said she couldn't work all the difficulties out 1. She just wanted to give up.

Her father said, "I think I know 2 I can help you. 3 me." They went into the 4. Her father put a potato, an egg and some coffee beans into three different bowls of water. Then, he started to boil (煮沸) the water on the stove.

After some time, he turned the stove 5 and took out the potato, the egg and the beans. He then showed each of them to his daughter.

"Look. The potato was hard before I boiled it, but now, it is 6 and weak. The egg was fragile (易碎的) until I put it in the water—now, it is hard inside. But the coffee beans were different. When they met the boiling water, they changed and became delicious 7."

Life 8 problems to us all. The potato, egg and coffee beans were all met with the same problem. But they each solve the problem in their own way. It is up to you to take the difficulties you face and find something good in 9. By making a(n) 10, the father taught his daughter a life lesson.
