P 66 ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE Take #17: It’s all about the positivity Today's take is all about attitude. So many of my friends are often pessimistic. You know, the kind of people who always think, 'There's a dark cloud up there. lt's going to rain soon!' Guys, we all need to work on our attitudes. It matters how we see things! l read a story recently that l want to share with you, and if you're a pessimist, maybe it'll change your attitude a bit too. It's about this guy, I've forgotten his name, let's call him Jim. He was kind of a born optimist, always in a good mood. Jim owned a shop, and a customer once asked him how he managed to stay so friendly and positive all the time. His answer was: 'When l wake up in the morning, l know that the day will have good and bad moments for me, but whatever happens, I'm going to choose to be in a good mood.' Why do we need to work on our attitudes? How does Jim stay so friendly and positive all the time? ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE Then one day, something terrible happened. An armed robber came in, held him up at gunpoint and made Jim open the safe. As he was trying to open it, Jim's hand slipped. The robber saw this, probably thought, 'He's about to attack me!’ and panicked and fired. Jim was still conscious when the ambulance arrived, and he was rushed to hospital. In the ambulance, he’d felt fine because the parademic kept telling him, ‘Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll be OK. As soon as we get to the hospital, the doctors will take care of you!' But once Jim was in the operating theatre and he saw the faces of the doctors and nurses, he had the feeling that people thought he was more or less dead already. He knew he needed to do something. There was a nurse who was asking him lots of questions, very fast. One question was: 'Are you allergic to anything?’ 'Yes!’ Jim said loudly and everybody stopped what they were doing. There was total silence. What happened to Jim? Why did the robber shoot? Why did Jim feel fine in the ambulance? ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 'Bullets!’ Jim said, and all the doctors and nurses burst out laughing. And then Jim added, 'Please operate on me thinking that I'll live, and not that I'll die!' Jim survived, thanks to the skill of the doctors and nurses. But what helped too was that he managed to remain an optimist even in the most dramatic moment of his life. So listen up, dear readers. Let's try and think positively more often. Actually, I'm on the point of doing this right now. I'm having a piano lesson later today. Not my choice really, it's my parents who think it's good for me to learn a musical instrument. But I'll be a good girl. I'll keep an open mind. I'll choose to find something positive about playing the piano. Anyway, I'd better go. My bus leaves in five minutes. Oh, and I'm off to Spain on Tuesday for a family holiday so l guess l'll post my next update two weeks from now. Why did Jim make a joke? What made Jim survived?

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE ‘You'll never find a rainbow if you look down!' Who said that? No, it wasn't me. It was Charlie Chaplin, and I love it. You must know that I wasn't exactly born an optimist myself. I was actually quite a worrier until I discovered the power of inspirational quotes. Try me. Send me a worry, and I’ll send you a quote. For free. If you like the quote, please let me know. Positive messages help me too. QUOTATIONSforWORRIERS ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE A shall l stay or shall l go? Hi, I don't know what to do. I've got an uncle in the USA, and he and his wife have invited me to go there next summer. Sounds cool, doesn't it? But I'm worried there won't be anyone my age to hang out with. They live in a smallish sort of town, and they haven't got any kids themselves. It may sound weird, but I feel that whatever I decide, I’ll probably regret it later! B Drummer boy Help needed! I got this drum kit for my 16th birthday. There's a band at my school. They're great, but their drummer, Keith, is leaving at the end of the school year - his family is moving to another town. The band have asked me if I want to audition and Keith has offered to teach me. But I'm not sure I’ll be good enough. I don't think I should get my hopes up. I'd be so disappointed if I didn't get in. ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE 1. Mmh. Yes, I understand that's not an easy situation. But l don't think that means you should just sit around complaining that everything's gloomy. Maybe what Anne Frank said will help you to be more optimistic: 'How wonderful it is that nobody needs to wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.' 2. Look, this is for you, and it's by Mahatma Ghandi. I'll say no more. It's all in the quote. 'Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If l keep on saying to myself that l cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if l have the belief that l can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if l may not have it at the beginning.' 3. My quote for you is by Winston Churchill: 'A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.' Even if you are right, there are probably about a million things you can do there that you can't do at home! So I'd say, go. And remember the rainbow!
