Optimism and pessimism are both powerful forces. Each of us must choose which we want to our future and our expectations. We can choose to laugh or cry, bless or . It’s our decision: From which perspective do we want to view life? Will we look up in or down in desperation? I believe in the upward look. I choose to the positive and skip right over the negative.
An optimistic attitude is not a luxury; it’s a(n) . The way you look at life will determine how you feel, how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people. , negative thoughts, attitudes, and expectations themselves; they become a self-fulfilling prophecy (预言). Pessimism creates a dark place where no one wants to live.
Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “How do you feel?” That seemed like a(n) question, but I felt fine and told him so. “You don’t look well,” he replied. This me completely by surprise. A little confidently, I told him that I had felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared yellow.
By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little . About a block away, I over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I affected with jaundice(黄疸)? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little nauseous(恶心). Did I have a bad liver? Had I some rare disease?
On another beautiful day, when I went into that gas station, feeling again, I figured out what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright, distasteful , and the light reflecting the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis（肝炎）! I wondered how many other folks had the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total change my attitude for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was actually feeling sick. That single observation had a great effect on the way I felt and acted.
The only thing more powerful than negativism is a word of optimism and hope. When a whole culture adopts an upward look, incredible things can be accomplished.

I always knew that I depended way too much on my phone. I didn’t know how much, so I decided to do this challenge to find out.
Every morning since I got a smartphone, I’ve used The Weather Channel App to find out what to . On the first morning I had to dress without guidance, but I was able to guess that the day would be cold and foggy by looking out of my window.
I couldn’t tell what time it was. I haven’t worn a for more than a year, because my phone showed the time. So I was late for friends who had been on the bus for two hours from Santa Monica to Palos Verdes. I was also late for my part-time job. And , I couldn’t call people to tell them that I was running late.
Getting places was harder, too. I got because I couldn’t use the GPS (汽车导航系统) on my phone. My driving, though, got a lot because I no longer had my phone in one hand checking directions while with the other.
But the number one trouble was not having my contact list (联络簿). I forgot to write down my friends’ and family members’ phone numbers before I the challenge. It was sad to realize that I couldn’t my brother’s and my mom’s cell phone numbers. Oh, how I wished to turn on the phone for just a second to look up phone numbers!
Even with all the problems, however, I found not worrying about missing a text message or an e-mail.
This was a great learning experience. It surprised me how I’d taken no notice of even the things like remembering phone numbers. We all should take some time to think about how we can depend on our cell phones.

On any given day, countless numbers of us get out of bed and _ _ to begin to change a given behavior "today." Whether it be exercising more, drinking less, managing time or some other change in a negative behavior, we start out with high . In a short time, however, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing it was they thought they shouldn't be doing.
After considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not if they start with the change itself. , they believe that we must a series of “stages” to adequately prepare ourselves for that change. Once you have analyzed all the factors that what you do ,you must decide which behavior-change technique will work best for you.
According to the psychologist Albert Ellis, most problems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be. For example, suppose after doing on an exam, you say to yourself, “I can not believe I failed that easy exam. I am so stupid.”By changing this irrational “catastrophic” self-talk into rational, statements about what is really going on, you can increase the that positive behaviors will occur.
Positive self-talk might be as follows: "I really didn't study enough for the exam. I just need to prepare for the next ”.
Such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from and take positive steps to correct the situation. Some other technique like purposefully or stopping negative thoughts and refusing to dwell on (沉湎于) negative images can also spare you wasted energy, time and emotional resources and move on to positive changes.
