Volunteer victims
A man who dined regularly in his favorite restaurant complained about the bread.It wasn't 1 he
said, that other restaurants served lots of 2 . But here he got only one piece.
So the next time he came in, they 3 him four pieces. He still said it wasn't 4 . For his next visit they put a large basket of bread on the table. But still he 5 ,"The other restaurants give all the bread you can
6 ".
They decided to be 7 for him the next day. They had 8 an enormous loaf of bread. It was six feet long and two feet wide. Four people carried the loaf to his 9 .They plopped (使掉下) it down in front
of him. It took up half the table and over both sides.The chef stood back to see 11 the customer would react.
He looked over the loaf and 12 ,"So, we're back to one piece again, aren't we?" Like this man, we
volunteer to be 13 . We believe life is unfair and people are 14 . We think everyone  should know just how 15 things are and we feel obliged to tell them.
The problem is that life sometimes is unfair, 16 the greater truth is that people can decide whether
they are victims or 17 . Happy people have learned that they cannot always 18 their
circumstances, but they can often decide how they will 19 .What life means to us is determined not so
much by what life brings to us as by the 20 we bring to life; not so much by what happens to us as by
our reaction to what happens.You were born to be a victor! You were meant to be happy！ |
