Having a positive attitude can also help change daily moods we get ourselves into. If a person is in a negative mood， he or she just needs to turn it around and determine not to feel bad any longer. Pretty soon he or she starts thinking positively instead. This method also works with other people. If you notice someone is in a bad mood， be positive and upbeat around that person， instead of letting that person influence you to begin thinking negatively.
Positive thinking and attitudes are contagious. Last year， I had a wonderful ninth grade English teacher， who was very upbeat and enthusiastic. We were beginning to learn how to diagram sentences. The first day we started diagramming she made the entire class stand up and repeat the phrase “Diagramming is fun！” until we looked enthusiastic enough to satisfy her. She explained that if you say something a lot， you start to believe it’s true. Every day when it was time to diagram， my teacher would stand up in front of the class with an enormous smile on her face， and she appeared to be having the best time of her life. Her attitude took something most kids see as boring and pointless and made it fun and exciting.
Soon I will undergo four major surgeries. I don’t know what the future holds for me but I know I will keep a positive attitude to help me get through it. A positive attitude makes all the difference！
“態度決定一切”是我每天都要遵守的生活法則。不管你處於什麽樣的環境，不同的態度會產生不同的結果。
我剛出生時，醫生就發現我有些與眾不同，我的四肢相對於正常人來說要短，他們便說我是個侏儒。幾個月過去了，醫生傳達的又一個壞消息震驚了我的父母：我的視力有嚴重缺陷。
現在，我15歲了，站起來的身高是2英尺9英寸。時間告訴我，你可以用這三種東西來克服一切困難：上帝的幫助、決心，以及積極的態度。
