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