michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. he is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. when someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "if i were any better, i'd be twins!" he was a natural motivator.

if an employee was having a bad day, michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. seeing this style really made me curious, so one day i went up to michael and asked him, "i don＇ t get it. you can＇ t be positive all the time. how do you do it?"

michael replied, each morning i wake up and say to myself ＇mike, 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 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."

"yeah, right. it isn＇t that easy." i protested.

"yes it is, " michael 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 mood or bad mood. the bottom line is: it＇s your choice how you live life.
