My friend BJ Gallagher once worked as a training manager for a large newspaper, which was more than a hundred years old. The company’s past     had blinded the authorities to the need for change, and they     new ideas and would say “This is the way we’ve always done it.”. As the years went by, BJ grew more and more     with their short-sightedness. Finally, she left the company. But she found that she hadn’t left her     behind when she resigned. She carried it with her, like “rocks in the stomach”.
“I finally decided to     about my experiences and my feelings. I    it would be a good mental health       . I wanted to be rid of that company and those people, once and for all. So I wrote and wrote. It wasn’t just a story that poured out — it was a whole     ! My resentment (怨恨)     my writing. The whole world would know how     they were!”
“What    when the book came out?” I asked BJ.
“Not much,” she replied, “The newspaper kept doing what it had     done. My feelings didn’t     them one bit, but it took me several more years to finally    my negative emotions. Finally, the time came when I decided to make amends (修正) for the angry things I had said about the company. I     my former boss to dinner and made my     . I told him I was sorry for being so resentful. It was a great healing process for me.”
“What was the     outcome?” I asked her.
“Gratitude,” she replied, “Not only wasn’t I resentful any more, but I was grateful to the company. If I hadn’t had those     experiences, I never would have written a book. And the book became hugely successful — now     in 21 languages. In short, my resentment gave way to gratitude.”
She smiled, “I owe them a debt of thanks for giving me such a great tale to tell.”
Trading resentments for gratitude isn’t always easy. But it’s worth it,       gratitude is a far happier feeling than resentment.
