生活充滿(mǎn)選擇
有人說(shuō)，生活是一種享受；也有人說(shuō)，生活是一種煎熬。其實(shí)，不同的人看帶問(wèn)題的出發(fā)點(diǎn)不同。下面這個(gè)故事則告訴我們，生活是一種選擇。
Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I’d be twins!” He was a natural motivator.
邁克爾是那種你真想恨一恨的家伙，他總是樂(lè)呵呵的，總是說(shuō)些積極上進(jìn)的話(huà)。如果有人問(wèn)他近況如何，他會(huì)這樣回答：“如果我還能再好，我就成雙胞胎了!”他生來(lái)就會(huì)讓人積極進(jìn)取。
If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don' t get it. You can' t be positive all the time. How do you do it?"
如果哪位雇員有天過(guò)得很糟糕，邁克爾會(huì)告訴他如何看待問(wèn)題的積極一面。他的這種方式著實(shí)讓我好奇，所以有一天我找到邁克爾問(wèn)：“我真弄不明白。你怎么能總是那樣積極樂(lè)觀?你是如何做到這一點(diǎn)的?”
Michael replied, each morning I wake up and say to myself 'Mike, 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. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. 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 choose the positive side of life."
邁克爾回答說(shuō)，“每天早晨醒來(lái)時(shí)我對(duì)自己說(shuō)，‘邁克，今天你有兩種選擇。你可以選擇心情愉快，你也可以選擇心情惡劣。’我選擇心情愉快。每次什么不愉快的事情發(fā)生時(shí)，我可以選擇成為一個(gè)犧牲品，也可以選擇從中吸取教訓(xùn)。我選擇從中吸取教訓(xùn)。每次有什么人找我來(lái)抱怨，我可以選擇接受他們的抱怨，也可以選擇向他指出生活的積極面。我選擇指出生活的積極面。”
"Yeah, right. It isn't that easy." I protested.
“是的，不錯(cuò)�？刹⒉荒敲慈菀籽健�”我表示異議。
"Yes it is, " Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. 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. The bottom line is: It's your choice how you live life. " I reflected on what Michael said.
“其實(shí)很容易，”邁克爾說(shuō)。“生活就是選擇。從每一事物剔除一切枝節(jié)后剩下的都是一種選擇。你選擇如何應(yīng)付生活中的種種情形。你選擇他人會(huì)怎樣影響你的情緒。你選擇是心情愉快還是心情惡劣。說(shuō)到底：如何生活是你自己的選擇。”我琢磨著邁克爾的這席話(huà)。
Soon thereafter, I left the big enterprise that I had worked in for years to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often though about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower.
那以后不久，我離開(kāi)了工作數(shù)年的大企業(yè)去創(chuàng)建自己的公司。我們失去了聯(lián)系，但當(dāng)我對(duì)生活做出一種選擇而非對(duì)它做出反應(yīng)時(shí)，我時(shí)常想起邁克爾。幾年之后，我聽(tīng)說(shuō)邁克爾遭遇一場(chǎng)惡性事故，從一座通訊大樓的60英尺高處掉了下來(lái)。
After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
在經(jīng)歷了18個(gè)小時(shí)的手術(shù)和數(shù)周的精心護(hù)理之后，邁克爾出院了，背部裝有金屬桿。大約事故半年之后，我見(jiàn)到了邁克爾。當(dāng)我問(wèn)他怎么樣時(shí)，他回答，“如果我還能再好，我就成雙胞胎了。想看看我的傷疤嗎?”我拒絕看他的傷痕，但的確問(wèn)了他事故發(fā)生時(shí)他是怎么想的。
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live." "Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, " the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, l read 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me” said Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,’ I said. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled", ‘Gravity’” Over their laughter, I told them, 'I'm choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'."
“我首先想到的是我那即將出世的女兒的幸福生活，”邁克爾答道。“當(dāng)時(shí)我躺在地上，我記起我有兩種選擇：我可以選擇活著，也可以選擇死。我選擇了活。”“你難道不害怕嗎?你失去知覺(jué)了嗎?”我問(wèn)。邁克爾接著說(shuō)，“……那些護(hù)理人員棒極了。他們不停地告訴我我會(huì)好的。但當(dāng)他們把我推進(jìn)手術(shù)室，我看到醫(yī)生和護(hù)士臉上的表情時(shí)，我真是嚇壞了。在他們的眼里，我讀出了‘他是個(gè)死人。’我知道我應(yīng)該采取行動(dòng)。”“你采取了什么行動(dòng)?”我問(wèn)道。“有一位人高馬大的護(hù)士大聲沖我問(wèn)問(wèn)題，”邁克爾說(shuō)。“她問(wèn)我是否對(duì)什么過(guò)敏。‘是的，’我說(shuō)。醫(yī)生和護(hù)士都停下手中的活兒等我回答。我深吸一口氣大聲說(shuō)出，‘萬(wàn)有引力。’他們的笑聲未了，我告訴他們，‘我選擇活著。把我當(dāng)活人而不是死人來(lái)做手術(shù)。”’
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I 1eamed from him that every day we have a choice to live fully. Attitude is everything.
邁克爾活了下來(lái)，這要感謝他那些醫(yī)生的高明醫(yī)術(shù)，但也要?dú)w功于他那令人贊嘆的態(tài)度。我從他那里學(xué)到了我們每天都有機(jī)會(huì)充實(shí)地活著，關(guān)鍵是態(tài)度。
