Attitude for Right Choice....

(This is somethin' from my student life, I wrote once for a newspaper)
LET IT REALLY SINK IN - THEN CHOOSE .

John was my teacher(more a friend) when I was in Australia for one year Study Exchange Programe. He always told me "You 're the kind of guy I love to hate. You 're always in a good mood and always has somethin' positive to say". When he would ask me how I was doin', I would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

Then he started callin' me "Mr. natural motivator" LOL!

If he was havin' a bad day, I was there tellin' him how to look on the positive side of the situation.

One day he asked me "Seein' this style really made me curious, I came to ask you that I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"

I told him, "Each mornin' I wake up 'n' Pray to God 'n' say to myself, 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 somethin' bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complainin', I can choose to accept their complainin' or. I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life".

"Though sometimes it doesn't work but most of the time it does work"

He protested "Yeah, right, it's not that easy,".

I said "Yes, it is, 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 affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life."

I didn't know he took my words in what way. Soon hereafter, I came back from Australia. We lost touch, though he was in my Prayers as many other friends. 3 years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, fallin' some 60 feet from Melbourne University Communications Tower.

After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.

I met him 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 I saw a change in him, he was not just sayin' my lines but he had that Belief. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-bein' of my soon-to-be born daughter," he replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live."

Me: "Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?"

He continued, "..the paramedics were great. They kept tellin' me I was goin' 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. "

Me: "What did you do?"

John: "Well, there was a big burly nurse shoutin' questions at me, She asked if I was allergic to anything. I said 'yes'. The doctors and nurses stopped workin' as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'."

"Over their laughter, I told them, I am choosin' to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."

He continued ..."I lived, thank God 'n' thanks to the skill of those doctors, but also because of your amazin' attitude... I learned from you that every day we 've the choice to live fully."

Me: "Attitude, after all, is everything."

"Shouldn't fall for tomorow, it 'll be taken care of" Talmood, 2:6.
"Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow 'll worry about itself" Bible, Matthew 6:34.
"Make the right Choice 'n' keep the Attitude strong, it 'll work for tomorrow itself" Koran, Sorah Namal (subject).

"After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday". And today he has same Faith as I 've........

You all 've two choices now:

01. Read it 'n' Comment for it.

02. Read it 'n' Comment for it 'n' learn somethin' Positive from it, like John.

You know the choice I make for now is to ----->*Smiles*
God bless all.....
