it is not an optimistic scene

An optimistic attitude is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. The way you look at life will determine

how you 1 , how you perform, and how well you will get along with other people. 2 ,

pessimism creates a sad and hopeless place where no one wants to live. 3 thoughts,

attitudes, and expectations feed on themselves.

Years ago, I 4 into a service station to get some gas. It was a 5 day, and I was

feeling great. As I walked into the station to pay for the gas, the attendant said to me, “You

don’t look well.” This took me completely by 6 . A little less confidently, I told him that I

had never felt better. Without hesitation, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that

my skin appeared 7 .

By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little 8 . About a block away, I pulled

over to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Did I look

that 9 ? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a

little 10 . Had I picked up some rare disease?

The next time I went into that gas station, feeling 11 again, I figured out what had

happened. The place had recently been painted a bright but disgusting yellow, and the light

reflecting off the walls made everyone inside 12 as though they had hepatitis(肝炎)! I

wondered how many other folks had reacted the way I did. I had let one short 13 with a

total stranger change my 14 for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long,

I was actually feeling sick. That single negative observation had a(n) 15 effect on the

way I felt and acted.
