Around twenty years ago I was living in New York.1I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree，I couldn't find2work.
I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and3with a friend, for I had lost my flat. I had4five interviews with a company but they said I did not get the job." Why has my life become so5?" I thought painfully.

That night there was a phone call for me from a director at a large13.She asked me if I would give a lecture14stress management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.
My15there 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 thinking that I completely changed my life.
