Seeing this style really made me curious. So one day I went up to Jerry and asked him, I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all the time.How do you do it?

看到这种情况真的让我好奇。所以有一天我去找Jerry问他，“我不能明白！你不可能永远是一个乐观的人！？你是怎么做到的？”

Jerry replied, each morning I wake up and say to myself , jerry, 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 something 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 complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.

Jerry回答到，“每个早上醒来都会对自己说，‘Jerry，你今天有两个选择。你可以选择拥有一份好心情亦或是一个坏心情。’我选择拥有一份好心情。每次一些不好的事发生，我能选择成为一个受害者还是从中受益。我选择从中受益。每次有人向我抱怨，我可以选择同意他们的抱怨或者指明生活的积极的一面。我选择生活的积极一面。”

Hey,it’s not that easy,I protested.

“嘿，没这么简单。”我抗议道。

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

“是的，就是这么简单。”Jerry说。“生命就是与所有的选择有关。当你抛开所有的云雾，每个情景就是一个选择，你选择如何应对各种情况。你选择别人将怎样影响你的心情。你选择好心情还是坏心情。底线是：怎样活出你自己是你的选择。

According to Churchill, victory comes only to those who work long and hard, who are willing to pay the price in blood, sweat, and tears. Hard work is also the basic building block of every kind of achievement: Without it, everything else is pointless. You can start with a dream or an idea or a goal, but before any of your hopes can be realized, you truly must deserve your success. This may sound old-fashioned in this age of instant gratification, but from the Sistine Chapel to the first transconti-nental railroad to today’s space shuttle, there’s no mystery as to how these things of wonder were created. They were created by people who worked incredibly hard over a long period of time.

丘吉尔认为，胜利只属于那些长期辛苦工作的人，那些愿意付出血汗和泪水代价的人。辛苦的工作还是一切成功的基石：没有它，别的一切都是毫无意义的。你可以由一个梦想、一个想法或一个目标开始，但在任何希望实现之前，你真的必须配得上成功。这在今天这个追求瞬间满足的时代也许显得陈腐老套，但是从西斯廷教堂到第一条横贯大陆铁路，直至今天的航天飞机，这些奇迹的创造都毫无奥秘可言。它们都是由异常辛勤工作的人们通过长期的努力创造出来的。

Many years later, after I graduated from Harvard with honors and became a lawyer and the CEO of my own company, my mother reflected that, when I was a child,no one would have predicted a successful future——no one except a mother, that is. My parents were crucial in helping me through a nightmare that engulfs so many children,especially young Black boys. As I was on the brink of being condemned as aproblem child, they intervened so I would have a chance. And I have been blessed with opportunities. After college, I worked in politics, becoming chief of staff and campaign manager for a Florida legislator. I attended Stanford Law School and, after some years at a leading consulting firm, founded a company with my sister, Carolyn, and my best friend, Jeff Livingston. Our company,Achieva, offers innovative soft-ware, books and workshops to help school districts across the country prepare their students for college.

许多年以后,我以优异成绩毕业于哈佛大学,成为了一名律师和我自己的公

司的首席执行官,我母亲说,当我还是个孩子的时候,没有人会预测成功的未来,

没有人除了一个母亲,。我的父母帮我度过一场吞噬了许多孩子的噩梦,尤其是年轻的黑人男孩。因为我是在被谴责为问题孩子的边缘,因为他们的干预，所以我就有机会。和我一直有机会。大学毕业后,我曾在政治,成为办公室主任和佛罗里达议员的竞选经理。我参加了斯坦福大学法学院,若干年后在一家领先的咨询公司,成立了一个公司,我的妹妹,卡罗琳,和我最好的朋友,杰夫·利文斯顿。阿奇沃,我们公司提供创新的软件,书籍和全国研讨会帮助学区学生为大学做好准备。 One reason I started Achieva is that I realized how critical a second （oreven third） chance could be in a young person's life. The indelible memory of being counted out, then helped back in,inspired me to help others. The early lessons I learned about overcoming obstacles also gave me the confidence to chart my own course.

我开始Achieva的一个原因是我意识到年轻人的生涯中第二次（甚至是第三次）机会是多么重要。不回忆不可磨灭的记忆，然后帮助恢复，激励着我去帮助别人。我了解到克服障碍的早期经验也给了我信心我自己的航程。
