Around twenty years ago I was living in York. 36 I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find 37 work.
I was 38 a school bus to make ends meet and 39 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had 40 five interviews (面试) with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 41 the job. “Why has my life become so 42 ?” I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to 43 a little girl, she handed me an earring 44 I should keep it 45 somebody claimed (认领) it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.
At first I got angry. Then it 46 me – I had been giving all of my 47 to what was going wrong with my 48 rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a 49 of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to 50 more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for 51 from a lady who was a director at a larger 52 . She asked me if I would 53 a one-day lecture on stress (压力) management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.
My 54 there 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 55 that I completely changed my life.
