Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate．He is always in a good  36 and always has something  37  to say．

     If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the  38  how to look on the positive side of the situation．Seeing this style really made me  39  , so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don' t  40  ．You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?"

     Michael replied, each morning I  41 and say to myself 'Mike, you have two  42 today．You can choose to be in a  43  mood or be in a bad mood．' I  44  to be in a good mood．Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a  45  or choose to learn from it．I choose to learn from it．"

     "Yeah, right．It isn't that easy．" I protested．

     "Yes it is, " Michael said．"Life is all about choices．You choose how you react  46 situations and how people will affect your mood．You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood．The bottom line is: It's your choice  47  you live life．"

     "The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied．"Then, as I  51  on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to  52  ．I chose to live．"

     Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also  53  his amazing attitude．

Hey there,

So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your patent’s money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?

Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any picture; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun — after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.

Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.

*Researching Schools. To us, the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the one that is the most competitive (有競爭力的) or has the best-equipped rooms.

*Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com , you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications（申請）and links to many more .

*Raising Your Scores.  American College Test is one of the most difficult parts of the admissions (錄取) course . It’s nor the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the test. But, if you think you can do better, find the right course for better scores.

*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid . If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost. For more information, call 600-3681 or visit JohnsonReview.com. Wherever you go, have a nice trip!
