Jerry is the manager of a restaurant. He is always in a good mood.

Slide 3:

When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would always reply: " If I were any better, I would be twins!"

Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their jobs when he changed jobs,:

Many of the waiters at his restaurant quit their jobs when he changed jobs , so they could follow him around from restaurant to restaurant

Slide 5:

Why？

Slide 6:

If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling him how to look on the positive side of the situation. Because Jerry was a natural motivator.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him：:

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Jerry and asked him ： " I don't get it! No one can be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"

Slide 8:

Jerry replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, I have two choices today. I can choose to be in a good mood or I can choose to be in a bad mood.

Slide 9:

I always choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be victim or I can choose to learn from it. I always 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 always choose the positive side of life.":

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 always choose the positive side of life."

"But it's not always that easy,” I protested.:

" But it's not always that easy,” I protested.

"Yes it is," Jerry said.:

" Yes it is," Jerry said. " Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk every situation is a choice.

Slide 13:

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. It's your choice how you live your life."

Several years later,:

Several years later, I heard that Jerry accidentally did something you are never supposed to do in the restaurant business. He left the back door of his restaurant open

Slide 15:

And then in the morning, he was robbed by three armed men.

Slide 16:

While Jerry trying to open the safe box, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him.

Slide 17:

Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the hospital.

Slide 18:

After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. …

Slide 19:

I saw Jerry about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Want to see my scars?"

Slide 20:

I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door," Jerry replied.:

" The first thing that went through my mind was that I 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 live or could choose to die. I chose to live." :

" Then, after they shot me, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or could choose to die. I chose to live ."

Slide 23:

Jerry continued, "The paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine.

Slide 24:

But when they wheeled me into the Emergency Room and I saw the expression on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read ‘He's a dead man’.

Slide 25:

I knew I needed to take action." " What did you do?" I asked. " Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me," said Jerry. "She asked if I was allergic to anything."

Slide 26:

' Yes,' to bullets, I replied.

Slide 27:

Over their laughter, I told them: “I am choosing to live. Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead .”

Slide 28:

" Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.

Slide 29:

I learned from him that every day you have the choice to either enjoy your life or to hate it.

Slide 30:

The only thing that is truly yours - that no one can control or take from you – is your attitude, so if you can take care of that, everything else in life becomes much easier.

Slide 31:

Now you have two choices to make: 1. You can delete this message or 2. You can forward it to someone you care about. I hope you will choose #2. I did.
