1、Jerry was the kind of guy you love to hate.He was always in a good mood andalways had something positive to say.When someone would ask him how hewas doing,he would reply,If I were any better,I would be twins!He was a unique manager because he had several waiters who hadfollowed him around from resta

3、rry andasked him,I dont get it!You cant be a positive person all of the time.How doyou do it?Jerry replied,Each morning I wake up and say to myself,Jerry,you havetwo choices today.You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose tobe in a bad mood.I choose to be in a good mood.Each time somethi

10、 die.I chose to live.杰里是那种你真想恨一恨的家伙。他是这样一种人-总是心情快乐、情绪高涨，总能说出积极的话来。当别人问他一切可好时，他就回答：”再好我就是双胞胎了！”认识杰里的时候，我还年轻，是一家餐饮公司的经理。他则是个与众不同的经理，因为到每家餐馆都有一些服务员围着他团团转。服务员围着杰里转是因为他的态度。他天生善于激励人。如果哪个雇员不走运了，杰里就去告诉他要往事情好的一面看。看到他如此作风我甚感好奇，于是一天我走到杰里跟前问他：”我不明白！你不可能一直保持积极乐观吧。你是怎么做的呢？”杰里回答说：”每天早上醒来后我对自己说：杰里，今天你有两个选择。你可以选择一个好
