Jerry是美國一家餐廳的經理，他總是有好心情，當別人問他最近過得如何，他總是有好消息可以說，他總是回答：如果我再過得好一些，我就比雙胞胎還幸運囉！ 當他換工作的時候，許多服務生都跟著他從這家餐廳換到另一家，為什麼呢？因為Jerry是個天生的激勵者，如果有某位員工今天運氣不好，Jerry總是適時地告訴那位員工往好的方面想。看到這樣的情境真的讓我很好奇，所以有一天我到Jerry那兒問他：我不懂沒有人能夠老是那樣地積極樂觀，你是怎麼辦到的？
Jerry回答：『每天早上我起來告訴自己，我今天有兩種選擇， 我可以選擇好心情，或者我可以選擇壞心情， 我總是選擇有好心情， 即使有不好的事發生，我可以選擇做個受害者， 或是選擇從中學習，我總是選擇從中學習。 每當有人跑來跟我抱怨， 我可以選擇接受抱怨或者指出生命的光明面， 我總是選擇生命的光明面。』;『但並不是每件事都那麼容易啊！』我抗議地說『的確如此』 Jerry說：『生命就是一連串的選擇，每個狀況都是一個選擇，你選擇如何回應，你選擇人們如何影響你的心情，你選擇處於好心情或是壞心情。你選擇如何過你的生活。』
數年後，我聽到Jerry意外地做了一件你絕想不到的事：有一天他忘記關上餐廳的後門，結果早上三個武裝歹徒闖入搶劫，他們要脅Jerry打開保險箱，由於過度緊張，Jerry弄錯了一個號碼，造成搶匪的驚慌，開槍射擊Jerry，幸運地，Jerry很快地被鄰 > 居發現，緊急送到醫院搶救，經過18小時的外科手術，以及密集照顧，Jerry終於出院了，還有塊子彈留在他身上……事件發生6個月之後我遇到Jerry，我問他最近怎麼 樣，他回答：如果我再過得好一些，我就比雙胞胎還幸運了。 要看看我的傷痕嗎？』我婉拒了，但我問他當搶匪闖入的時候，他的心路歷程。 Jerry答道：『我第一件想到的事情是我應該鎖後門的，當他們擊中我之後， 我躺在地板上，還記得我有2個選擇：我可以選擇生，或選擇死。我選擇活下去』『你不害怕嗎？』我問他：Jerry繼續說：『醫護人員真了不起，他們一直告訴我沒事，放心。但是當他們將我推入緊急手術間的路上，我看到醫生跟護士臉上憂慮的神情，我真的嚇到了，他們的眼好像寫著－他已經是個死人了，我知道我需要採取行動。』『當時你做了什麼？』我問說：『嗯！當時有個碩大的護士用吼叫的音量問我一個問題：『她問我是否會對什麼東西過敏。』 我回答：有。這時醫生跟護士都停下來等待我的回答。我深深地吸了一口氣喊著：『子彈！』聽他們笑完之後，我告訴他們：『我現在選擇活下去，請把我當作一個活生生的人，不是一個活死人。』Jerry能活下去當然要歸功於醫生的精湛醫術，但同時也由於他令人驚異的態度。
我從他身上學到，每天你都能選擇享受你的生命，或是憎恨它。這是唯一一件真正屬於你的權利～沒有人能夠控制或奪去的東西～就是你的態度。如果你能時時注意這件事實，你生命中的其他事情都會變得容易許多，現在你有兩個選擇：1、你可以遺忘這故事，2、將這傳遞給你關心的人，我選擇了2，希望你也是如此！

You Have Two Choices ¤ Author Unknown
Jerry is the manager of a restaurant. He is always in a good mood. 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, so they could follow him around from restaurant to restaurant. Why, because Jerry was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Jerry was always 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 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?"
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. 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."
"But it's not always that easy. “ I protested.
"Yes it is," Jerry 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. It's your choice how you live your life."
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 And then in the morning, he was robbed by three armed men. They want money of course.
While Jerry was trying to open the safe box, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him.
Luckily, Jerry was found quickly and rushed to the hospital. 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......
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? “
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.
"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."
"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 expression on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'He's a dead man.' 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.
'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'. "
Jerry 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 control or take from you, is your attitude, so if you can take care of that, everything else in life becomes much easier.
