00:01.61]Louder than Anything You Can Say行胜于言
[00:06.26]I teach economics at UNLV (University of Nevada,Las Vegas) three times per week.
[00:13.14] Last Monday,at the beginning of class,
[00:15.38] I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been.
[00:18.76] One young man said that his weekend had not been so good.
[00:22.91] The young man then proceeded to ask me
[00:25.62]why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
[00:28.72]His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before:
[00:32.44]“Every morning when you get up,
[00:34.54] you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,” I said.
[00:39.39] “I choose to be cheerful.”
[00:41.25]“Let me give you an example,” I continued.

[00:57.87]I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive.
[01:01.70] I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college.
[01:06.41] But just then my car died.
[01:09.03] So I put my flashers on,grabbed my books,
[01:12.54]and marched down the road to the college.”
[01:15.70]“As soon as I got there I called AAA
[01:18.54]and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class.
[01:22.88]The secretary in the Provost’s office asked me what has happened.
[01:26.61]‘This is my lucky day,’ I replied,smiling.”
[01:30.31]“‘Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?’
