HOW vitally important is your right and positive attitude towards today and all that it holds for you! You can make or mar the day for yourself simply by the way you approach it. Your reactions to things as they take place can make all the difference. When your reactions are negative and aggressive, you immediately put up barriers and create opposition, finding fault and blaming everyone else. You are so blind you fail to see that you are the one at fault, and you go around with a chip on your shoulder. When your reactions are positive and constructive, all barriers come tumbling down and you will find you will get help and cooperation from every side. If you have made a mistake, admit it, say you are sorry and move on. Then no precious time is wasted in trying to justify yourself and prove you are right. You have many lessons to learn. Learn them quickly, and try never to make the same mistake twice.
我對今天的正確且積極的態度，以及這所為我帶來的，是多麼得至關重要啊！我可以為自己創造這一天，也能毀了這一天，僅僅只是通過我走近它的方式。我對正在發生的事情的反應可以造成大不相同的情況。當我的反應是負向的、有攻擊性的，我馬上立起了障礙，並製造了對抗的局面，開始挑出毛病與指責他人。我如此盲目，看不見自己正是問題所在，我正帶著挑釁的態度四處走動。當我的反應是正向且有建設性的，所有的障礙都會倒塌，我會發現我在每一方都得到了幫助與配合。如果我犯了一個錯誤，承認它，為它道歉後，翻過這一頁。然後就不會有寶貴的時間被浪費在，試圖為自己辯護，以及證明我是對的上面。我有很多課題需要學習。快速地學習他們吧，並且試著不再次犯同樣的錯誤。
