Victor Frankl,the author of Mans Search far Meaning,once wrote, "'Everything can be taken from a person but one thing:the last of human freedoms-to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances." Frankl was right.Attitude is a choice.You could be faced with a thousand problems,many or most over which you have absolutely no control.However,there is always one thing you are in complete and absolute control of and that is your own attitude.
To be honest,it wasn't until I was in my late 20s that I finally understood its full impact.All through my teens and into my early adult life,I can't tell you the number of times that I heard, "Bob,if you'd just change your attitude,you would do a lot better." At that time,I didn't know what attitude was,let alone know how to change it!
Attitude and results are inseparable,They follow one another as night follows day.One is the cause,while the other,the result.There is a term we use to distinguish this "cause and effect " relationship,which is called The Law of Cause and Effect.Simply stated,if you think in negative terms,you will get negative results;if you think in positive terms,you will achieve positive results.Some people always see wrong things in the world.These individuals are quick to blame circumstances or other people for their problems,rather than accepting responsibility for their life and their attitude.Thus,it would appear as if they were born with bad luck and it has followed them around their whole life.However,there are others who are forever winning and living the good life.They are the real movers and shakers who make things happen.They seem to go from one major accomplishment to another.They're in control of their life.Their wins are a matter of choice.
You can experience that kind of life as well,you only need to decide.Dorothea Brand once said, "Act as if it were impossible to fail, " and I challenge you to do so.By simply becoming aware that you can choose your thoughts each and every day,you will change your entire outlook.You have the power to choose an abundant life no matter what your circumstances are.Don't wait to experience all the wonderful things the universe has in store for you.Start today by working on your attitude and welcome the abundant life that you are meant to lead.

1.For several days Ⅰ(Jane Eyre) saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening,I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips,and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him,he suddenly turned around and asked me, "Do you think I'm handsome,Miss Eyre?"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: "No,sir."
"Ah,you are really unusual!You look like a quiet,serious little person,but you can be almost rude."
"Sir,I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances;I should have said that beauty doesn't matter,or something like that."
"No,you shouldn't!I see,you criticize my appearance,and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance(抵消) your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind,and said quickly, "Yes,you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one,and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you,and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man,take my word for it,but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character,but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this?Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to,because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me,Miss Eyre," he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much,perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me,and laugh,and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage,you'll fly very high.Good night."
(1)Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5?

3.My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely selfish:I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10 hours.My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer's road trip.
As I began to prepare for our next 500-mile car trip,I came across a book Jim Trelease's The Read Aloud Handbook.This could be the answer to my problem,I thought.So I put Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach into my bag.When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by hiding inside a giant peach,my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats.But after several lines,they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well-written book makes the long miles pass more quickly.Sometimes the books we read became highlights of the trip.I read Wilson Rawls's Summer of the Monkeys as we spent two days driving to the beach.We arrived just behind the power crews restoring(恢復(fù))electricity after a tropical storm.The rain continued most of the week,and the beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm.When we returned home,I asked my son what he liked about the trip.He answered without hesitation,"The book you read in the car. "
Road trips still offer challenges,even though my children now are teenagers.But we continue to read as we roll across the country.And I'm beginning to see that reading aloud has done more than help pass the time.For at least a little while,we are not shut in our own electronic worlds.And maybe we've started something that will pass on to the next generation.
