Around twenty years ago I was living in York. 1 I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree,I could not find 2 work.
I was 3 a school bus to make ends meet and 4 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had 5 five interviews(面试) with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 6 the job. “Why has my life become so 7?”I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to 8 a little girl, she handed me an earring 9 I should keep it 10 somebody claimed (认领) it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.
At first I got angry. Then it 11 me—I had been giving all of my 12 to what was going wrong with my 13 rather than what was right!I decided then and there to make a 14 of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to15 more things to the list.That night there was a phone call for 16 from a lady who was a director at a large 17.She asked me if I would 18 a oneday lecture on stress(压力) management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.
My 19 there went very well, and before long I got a wellpaid job.To this day I know it was because I changed my way of 20 that I completely changed my life.
