A very good story

Jerry is the manager of a restaurant in America. He
/ g# N2 l4 t) `. X3 D* his always in a
good mood and always has something positive to say.
When someone would ask
him how he was doing, he would always reply, "If I
were any  better, I
would be twins!"
- I1 r/ }' @/ z; U( ]  ?Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their  jobs
when he changed
jobs, so they could follow him around from restaurant
to restaurant.
The reason the waiters followed Jerry was because of
his attitude.
He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having
3 z, i/ i$ m' ^9 T( h7 ?* _a bad day, Jerry
was always here, telling the employee how to look on
2 f5 s- ^- l, ^the positive side
of the situation.
4 e  u, ~, K- i% SSeeing this style really made me curious, so one day I
0 A  q4 f; ^; G. ~: X+ \8 i% kwent up to Jerry
$ [9 P1 Q; @. e$ t4 v! Eand asked him, "I don't get it!
+ W2 F) @, h! w. ~6 _) P1 q8 XNo one can be a positive person all of the time. How
do you do it?"
Jerry replied,
5 r" Z2 C% m& Q( e- |. e& \# r"Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two
0 \% h/ d* C7 {7 H8 I/ u0 ichoices today. I
can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be
9 |& j, @9 m. Y! |- U& {1 R9 n' lin a bad mood. I
6 [/ q/ T" H9 `6 S3 B2 X3 malways choose to be in a good mood.

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a
victim or I can
5 @( \9 g1 [6 z5 d0 N- V% Dchoose to learn from it. I always choose to learn from

; P. N3 C5 E. Y0 d. k( R4 S8 P6 }life. I always
choose the positive side of life."
"But it's not always that easy," I protested.
"Yes, it is," Jerry said "Life is all about choices.
0 Q8 k. R4 M- g1 uWhen you cut away all the junk, every situation is a

mood. You choose to be  in a good mood or bad mood.
It's your choice how
you live your life."
! ?  M/ j- v# q6 r% m/ k; |Several years later, I heard that Jerry accidentally
4 a8 ~# {- Q) C# w: a' W* pdid something you are never supposed to do in the
5 A6 S5 _9 ]7 n) v6 d; b" H9 Prestaurant business: left the back door of his
7 i- g) C7 V) M# {# g; U& erestaurant open one morning and was robbed by three
armed men. While trying to open the safe, his hand,
9 u; @0 h8 J; z% \! qshaking from nervousness slipped off the
combination. The robbers panicked and shot him.

- Y/ F( m: D4 X0 b; iLuckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the
hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of
8 F; }0 V) W* w+ Wintensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital
) K2 E. @$ v1 _+ F0 n) Twith fragments of the bullets still in his body.
, a# B. f0 H% J7 F. m- _9 P. Y) W
I saw Jerry about six months after the accident.
3 E  g4 ?# G. \# G4 w& v' _# A9 jWhen I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were
8 @+ E+ O9 S/ c  Qany better, I'd be twins.

3 A# o) V) q, ]) KWant to see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds,
5 ~9 I) M$ A( j7 K) ubut did ask him what had gone through his mind as
the robbery took place.
4 ~! r3 A2 M- O7 f6 r  V
$ \1 p* v  a6 v2 ?; ?3 W"The first thing that went through my mind was that
- j! @+ I. i3 h3 a8 f! KI should have locked the back door," Jerry replied.
"Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I
remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to
0 B' r( {% {3 olive or choose to die. I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared?" I asked. Jerry continued, "The
paramedics were great. They kept telling me. I was
going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the
Emergency Room and I saw the expressions on the
faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really
scared. In their eyes, I read 'He's a dead man.' I
- z* ~# R' y& \/ X) T" [8 [( {knew I needed to take action."
9 r( i/ b: ?0 o$ F( A  h: H"What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big
; j$ Y  _" n' g1 F: inurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She
- m% t3 b# S  I# S8 h+ Rasked if I was allergic to anything."


'Yes,' I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped
working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep
  breath and yelled, 'Bullets!' Over their laughter, I

told them, 'I am choosing to live. Please operate on
me as if I am alive, not dead'."
8 \: e" v( g: C9 N) z( `7 fJerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but
also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from
him that every day you have the choice to either
enjoy your life or to hate it.
The only thing that is truly yours that no one can
5 U7 H1 t) r. `1 n# d) d1 Y0 E$ c: Dcontrol or take from you-is your attitude, so if you
can take care of that, everything else in life
3 b$ z, A: t; jbecomes much easier.

Now you have two choices to make:
$ C* I3 K1 X1 V, h' M1. You can just close the browser now OR

5 k: Z) a, |: M" c2. You can forward it to someone you care about.
I hope you will choose #2. I did.
