>>Michael is the kind of guy you love
>>to hate. He is! ! !always in a good
>>mood and always has something
>>positive tosay.
>>When someone would ask him how he was
>>doing, he would
>>reply, "If Iwere any better, I'd
>>be twins!" He was a natural
>>motivator.
>>
>>If an employee was having a
>>bad day, Michael was 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 Michael and asked
>>him, "I don't get it. You
>>can't be positive all the time. How do
>>you
>>do it?"
>>Michael replied, "Each morning I
>>wake up and say to myself, 'Mike,
>>you have two choices today.
>>You can choose to be in a good mood or
>>you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I
>>choose to be in a good mood. Each
>>time something bad happens, I can
>>choose to be a victim or choose to
>>learn from it. I 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
>>choose the positive side of life."
>>
>>"Yeah, right. It isn't that easy,"
>>I protested. "Yes it is,"
>>Michael 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. The bottom line is:
>>It's your choice how you live life."
>>
>>I reflected on what Michael said.
>>Soon thereafter, I left the
>>tower industry to start my own business.
>>We lost touch, but I often
>>thought about him when I made a choice
>>about life instead of reacting to
>>it.
>>Several years later, I heard
>>Michael was involved in a serious
>>accident, falling some 60 feet from a
>>communications tower. After 18 hours
>>of surgery and weeks of intensive
>>care, Michael was released from the
>>hospital with rods placed in his
>>back.
>>
>>I saw Michael about six
>>months after the accident. When I asked
>>him how he was, he replied, "If
>>I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna
>>see my scars?"
>>
>>I declined to see his wounds, but
>>did ask him what had gone
>>through his mind as the accident took
>>place.
>>"The first thing that went
>>through my mind was the well being of my
>>soon
>>to be born daughter," Michael replied.
>>"Then,
>>as I lay on the
>>ground, I 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 ER 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 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 am 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
>>learned
>>from him that every day we have a
>>choice to live fully. Attitude is
>>everything.
>>You have two choices now:
>>1) delete this;
>>2) forward it to the people you
>>think about.
>>
>>I hope you will choose 2. I did.
