Around twenty years ago I was living in York.21 I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree, I could not find 22 work..
I was 23 a school bus to make ends meet and 24 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat.I had 25 five interviews with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 26 the job.“Why has my life become so 27 ?” I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to 28 a little girl, she handed me an earring 29 I should keep it 30 somebody claimed (认领) it.The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.
At first I got angry.Then it 31 me – I had been giving all of my 32 to what was going wrong with my 33 rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a 34 of fifty things I was happy with.Later, I decided to 35 more things to the list.That night there was a phone call for 36 from a lady who was a director at a larger 37 .She asked me if I would 38 a one-day lecture on stress management to 200 medical workers.I said yes. My 39 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 40 that I completely changed my life.
