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'.\"
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.
【𝗼𝗼𝗽.𝘁𝘄 無錯章節】
邁克爾是那種你真想恨一恨的家夥，他總是樂嗬嗬的，總是說些積極上進的話。如果有人問他近況如何，他會這樣回答：“如果我還能再好，我就成雙胞胎了！”他生來就會讓人積極進取。
如果哪位雇員哪一天過得很糟糕，邁克爾會告訴他如何看待問題的積極一麵。他的這種方式著實讓我好奇，所以有一天我找到邁克爾問：“我真弄不明白。你怎麼能總是那樣積極樂觀？你是如何做到這一點的？”
邁克爾回答說，“每天早晨醒來時我對自己說，‘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。每次什麼不愉快的事情發生時，我可以選擇成為一個犧牲品，也可以選擇從中吸取教訓。我選擇從中吸取教訓。每次有什麼人找我來抱怨，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麵。我選擇指出生活的積極麵。”
“是的，不錯。可並不那麼容易呀。”我表示異議。
“其實很容易，”邁克爾說。“生活就是選擇。從每一事物剔除一切枝節後剩下的都是一種選擇。你選擇如何應付生活中的種種情形。你選擇他人會怎樣影響你的情緒。你選擇是心情愉快還是心情惡劣。說到底：如何生活是你自己的選擇。”我琢磨著邁克爾的這席話。
那以後不久，我離開了工作數年的大企業去創建自己的公司。我們失去了聯係，但當我對生活做出一種選擇而非對它做出反應時，我時常想起邁克爾。幾年之後，我聽說邁克爾遭遇一場惡性事故，從一座通訊大樓的60英尺高處掉了下來。
在經曆了18個小時的手術和數周的精心護理之後，邁克爾出院了，背部裝有金屬杆。大約事故半年之後，我見到了邁克爾。當我問他怎麼樣時，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，但的確問了他事故發生時他是怎麼想的。
