How to get lucky in life

好运气的敲门砖

Focus on the Positive

保持积极的心态


The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself. – Douglas MacArthur

最好的运气就是自己创造的。——道格拉斯·麦克阿瑟

An unfortunate thing that happened to me: Last week, my car engine died on the road going into my apartment complex. My vehicle didn't come to a slow stop, but rather a dead halt. Let's just say the bill from the mechanic wasn't pretty, so I wasn't very happy about this.

上周发生了一件不好的事:回家的路上车子的发动机坏了。我的车子不是慢慢停下来而是突然熄火。维修费当然不少,这也让我非常的不爽。

But then it hit me: I was so lucky! My drive home that night included a 30-minute voyage on a crowded interstate. Now imagine how much worse my situation would have been if my car suddenly quit with a vehicle traveling 70 M.P.H. right behind me.

但我突然想到:我是多么幸运!那天晚上回家还需要在闹市区开30分钟。现在想象一下如果我的车突然停下来后面正是一辆70码时速奔驰的车,这个后果可想而知了吧。

I'm happy that I was lucky enough for my car to quit in the safety of my own parking lot, because had it gone out on the interstate, it's very possible I wouldn't be here to type this. Look for the good in all things.

我真幸运车子是在自己的停车位抛锚,而不是闹市区,否则也许我就没命来告诉你们这些了。从积极面看待事情吧。
