Question

Around twenty years ago I was living in York.        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        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        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      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       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        from a lady who was a director at a large       . She asked me if I would     a one­day lecture on stress management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.

My       there went very well, and before long I got a well­paid job. To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of       that I completely changed my life.
