[Guest guest]

choice is yours!!!

 

IT`S A MATTER OF CHOICE ALWAYS

 

VIKAS IS A MANAGER OF A RESTAURANT,

HE IS ALWAYS IN A GOOD MOOD,

WHEN SOMEONE WOULD ASK HIM

" HOW HE WAS DOING?

HE WOULD ALWAYS REPLY ,

IF I ONE ANY BETTER, I WOULD BE TWINS,

 

MANY OF THE WAITERS AT HIS RESTAURANT QUIT THEIR JOBS WHEN HE CHANGED JOBS, SO

THEY COULD FOLLOW HIM AROUND FROM RESTAURANT TO RESTAURANT

 

WHY

 

BECAUSE VIKAS WAS A NEUTRAL MOTIVATOR,

IF ANY EMPLOYEE WAS HAVING A BAD DAY,

VIKAS WAS ALWAYS THERE,

TELLING THE EMPLOYEE HOW TO LOOK ON THE POSSITIVE SIDE OF THE SITUATION.

 

SEEING THIS STYLE REALLY MADE ME CURIOUS,

SO ONE DAY I WENT UP TO VIKAS AND ASKED HIM,

I DON`T GET IT!

NO ONE CAN BE A POSITIVE PERSON ALL OF THE TIME,

HOW DO YOU DO IT,?

 

VIKAS REPLIED " EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP, AND SAY TO MYSELF,

I HAVE TWO CHOICES TODAY,

I CAN CHOOSE TO BE IN A GOOD MOOD OR TO BE IN A BAD MOOD TODAY

 

I ALWAYS TO BE IN A GOOD MOOD EVERY DAY.

EACH TIME SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS,

I CAN CHOOSE TO BE VICTIM,

OR I CAN CHOOSE TO LEARN FROM IT.

I ALWAYS CHOOSE TO LEARN FROM IT.

 

EVERYTIME SOMEONE COMES TO ME COMPLAINING,

I CAN CHOOSE TO ACCEPT THEIR

COMPLAINING OR I CAN POINT OUT THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE .

I ALWAYS CHOOSE THE POSITIVE SIDE OF LIFE ,.

 

BUT IT`S NOT ALWAYS EASY,

I PROTESTED.

 

OH YES, IT IS

 

LIFE IS ALWAYS ABOUT CHOICES,

WHEN YOU CUT AWAY ALL THE JUNK EVERY SITUATION IS A CHOICE

YOU CHOOSE HOW YOU REACT TO SITUATIONS

YOU CHOOSE HOW PEOPLE WILL AFFECT YOUR MOOD.

YOU CHOOSE TO BE IN A GOOD MOOD , OR BAD MOOD

IT`S YOUR CHOICE ,HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE

SEVERAL YEARS LATER,

 

I YEARS LATER I HEARED

 

THAT VIKAS ACCIDENTALLY DID SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT TO SUPPOSED

HE LEFT BACK DOOR OPEN OF HIS RESTAURANT.

AND THEN

IN THE MORNING

HE WAS ROBBED BY THREE ARMED MEN

THEY WANTED CASH

 

WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO OPEN THE SAFE BOX HIS HAND,

SHAKING FROM NERVOUSNESS, SLIPED OFF THE COMBINATION,

 

THE ROBBERS PANICKED AND SHOT HIM.

 

LUCKILY HE WAS FOUND QUICKLY AND RUSHED TO HOSPIATAL

 

AFTER 22 HOURS OF SURGERY, AND WEEKS OF INTENSIVE CARE

 

HE WAS RELEASED,

WITH FRAGMENTS OF THE BULLETS STILL IN BODY,

 

I SAW HIM ABOUT SIX MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, WHEN I ASKED HIM,

HOW HE WAS, HE REPLIED,

 

IF I WERE ANY BETTER, I`D BE TWINS.

 

WANT TO SEE MY SCARS.

I DECLINED TO SEE HIS WOUNDS.

BUT DID ASK HIM " WHAT HAD GONE THROUGH THIS MIND,

AS THER ROBBERY TOOK THE PLACE,

 

THE FIRST THING THAT WENT THROUGH MY MIND WAS THAT

 

'I SHOULD HAVE LOCKED THE BACK DOOR'

HE REPLIED.

THEN AFTER THEY SHOT ME ,AS

I LAY ON THE FLOOR, I REMEMBERD THAT I HAD TWO CHOICES:

1. I COULD CHOOSE TO LIVE, OR COULD CHOOSE TO DIE.

I CHOOSED TO LIVE

WEREN`T YOU SCARED:

I ASKED?

VIKAS CONTINUED " THE PARAMEDICS WERE GREAT......

THEY KEPT TELLING ME, I WAS TO BE GOING TO BE FINE.

 

BUT WHEN THEY WHEELED ME INTO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND I SAW THE EXPRESSIONS ON

THE FACES OF DOCTORS

AND NURSES,

I GOT REALLY SCARED.

 

IN THEIR EYES, I READ HE IS A DEAD MAN.

I KNEW I NEEDED TO TAKE ACTION.

 

WHAT DID YOU DO? I ASKED.

 

WELL THERE WAS A BIG NURSE SHOUTING QUESTIONS AT ME, SAID VIKAS: SHE ASKED IF I

WAS ALLERGIC TO ANYTHING?

YES ...... I REPLIED

 

THE DOCTORS AND NURSES STOPED THE WORKINGAS THEY WAITED FOR MY REPLY.

I TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND YEALLED :YES OF BULLETS. "

 

OVER THEIR LAUGHTER, I TOLD THEM,

I AM CHOOSING TO LIVE.

PLEASE OPERATE ON ME .AS IF I AM ALIVE AND NOT DEAD

 

VIKAS LIVED THANKS TO SKILL OF DOCTORS

BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF HIS AMAZING ATTITUDE.

 

I LEARNED FROM HIM THAT

 

EVERY DAY, YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO EITHER ENJOY YOUR LIFE OR TO HATE IT.

 

THE ONLY THING THAT IS TRULY YOURS ------------------

THAT NO ONE CAN CONTROL OR TAKE OF FROM YOU.

 

IS YOUR ATTITUDE.

SO IF YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT,

EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE BECOMES MUCH EASIER.

 

NOW YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES TO MAKE

 

YOU CAN DELETE THIS MESSAGE

 

OR

 

FORWARD TO SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT.

I HOPE, YOU WILL CHOOSE SECOND OPTION, AS I DID
