Around twenty years ago I was living in York. 31 I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find 　32 work.

I was 　33 a school bus to make ends meet（使收支相抵）and 　34 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had 　35 five interviews with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 　36 the job. “Why has my life become so 　37 ?” I thought painfully.

As I pulled the bus over to 　38 a little girl, she handed me an earring 　39 I should keep it 　40 somebody claimed it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.

At first I got angry. Then it 　41 me -- I had been giving all of my 　42 to what was going wrong with my 　43 rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a 44 of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to 　45 more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for 　46 from a lady who was a director at a larger 47 . She asked me if I would 　48 a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.

My 　49 there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job. To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of 　50 that I completely changed my life.
