Yes Man Changed My Life
Yes Man is the best book I’ve ever read. It’s the true story about the life of Danny Wallace. Before Danny Wallace became the ‘Yes Man’, his life was boring and he felt old. So he decided to make things more exciting. He started saying “Yes” to every question people asked him. And he did it for a whole year. From the day he started, it completely changed his life.
It’s an interesting story. When I finished the book, I also wanted to change my life. So I had a holiday and became a ‘Yes Man’ for a week. This is what happened.
I started on Saturday morning. At 10 in the morning, I got my first question. I saw a poster in the window of a travel agent (旅行社). I needed a holiday so I went in. A lady asked me where I wanted to go. But before I could answer, she said, “A beach holiday, sir?” In fact, I don’t like beaches, I like cities. But I said, “Yes.” Five minutes later, everything was ready. My flight was the next day.
I arrived at my hotel at lunchtime. It was very, very hot. I just wanted to have a rest, but the guide said, “we have a bus to the beach in ten minutes. Do you want to go?” I said, “Yes.”
It was about 40℃ at the beach. A man asked me “Sunglasses? Do you want sunglasses?” I had a pair of sunglasses in my bag, but I said “Yes.” Five minutes later, another man came,“ Beautiful hat, sir?” I said, “Yes.”
Three hours later, I had two pairs of sunglasses and three hats. It was difficult to carry all my new things back to the bus.
I decided: no trips tomorrow, just rest. When I got back, the guide asked, “Oh, there’s a water skiing course tomorrow. Do you want me to book a place for you?” I can’t swim very well and I don’t like the sea. I wanted to cry.

As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. "Let me tell you a story first," he said.
"When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded(折叠的) in half, wrote their names in bold(黑体) with the most eye-catching(引人注目的) color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see it and call a listener's name directly."
"I couldn't understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that."
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.
