Jerry is a popular manager of a restaurant. It was his attitude  21  made the waiters follow him. He was a natural motivator (鼓舞人心的人). If a(n)  22  was having a bad day, Jerry was always there, telling him/her how to look on the  23  side of the situation.
This attitude really made me  24, so one day I asked him, “I don’t get it! No one can be a positive person  25. How can you manage it?”
“Every time something bad happens, I can choose to  26  it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining and I can 27  the positive side of life. Why don’t we just do that later?” Jerry said.
Jerry told me an unusual story out of his experience. One day he left the back door of his restaurant  28  and was robbed by three men. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from  29 , slipped off the combination (开启号码的号码组合). The robbers got angry and  30 him.
31 , Jerry was found quickly and taken to the hospital. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry  32  with fragments (碎片) of the bullets (子弹) still in his body.
I saw Jerry about six months after the  33 . I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place. “Did you lose consciousness? Weren’t you  34 ?” I asked.
“No,” Jerry said, “35  when I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared.”
“A nurse asked if I was allergic (过敏的) to anything. ‘Yes’ I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped  36  as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘37 !’”
“Over the laughter, I told them, ‘Please  38  on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”
Jerry survived  39  the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. Attitude, after all, is  40 .

One day I came home from school, changed my clothes and got ready for work. I work at a local restaurant in town as a cashier and waiter.

I went to work feeling   36  . And to make matters worse, I was busy that evening. It' s the same thing over and over again.  37 with customers who complain about their food andwhere they are  38 is too big or too small. Little things like that tend to  39 a lot of us  40 but we manage to deal with it.

Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. It happened to be the very   41  near where I keep the dirty   42 in the boxes. Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and   43 running all over the house, it was crazy．  44  these elderly women were watching   45  I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers.

When they   46  their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what   47  I was in and what I planned to do in the future.

 48 they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a  49  and gentle voice, “You are going places.（你前途无量） And that was it.” They left the  50 and I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me  51 to believe in myself．They   52  my spirit from being down and gave me a   53 to keep on working hard.

People used to tell me that I couldn’t have a career in    54  until I had a degree. I'm now a co-anchor (联合主持人) of a student-produced television  55 . And the best thing is: I'm only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school.

When I was a teenager, I volunteered to give out water at a marathon. Watching the different runners who passed by and grabbed a cup was 36 . The next year I signed up for the race. I did little preparation and my only goal was to finish. On the day of the race, it was 37  hot. I remember struggling at about the 5^th mile, thinking, “I am never doing this again!”

Have you ever felt that way about something? You eagerly choose a goal 38     soon realize it is 39 to achieve than you imagined it would be. That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. Then 40 a decisive moment. Near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me. I felt 41  that I was younger than him but I couldn’t keep up with him. I felt defeated for a second but then I realized 42 . He was running his race and I was running mine. He had different experience, training and goals and I had mine. 43  in life do we 44  ourselves with others and feel disappointed in ourselves when we really shouldn’t? I decided, then, that one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who were still running. 45  I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my achievement. Since then I have run several races and run purely for fun.

In life we all 46  compare ourselves with others, which is only natural. But don’t let them weaken you. 47 , you should use them to inspire you and show you what is possible. Then you are a true winner.
