I was running for Sophomore Vice President. I had prepared a performance for the electiona funny boxing match. The fight had popular moves as seen in Dodge Ball, Iron Man, and Super Smash Brothers. In the end, I would perform my famous move, the PowerPunch from Hot Rod. My friend Cheyenne and I rehearsed (排練) the fight for hours, but the fight would not be a fight without music and sound effects. This is where my brother came in. He stayed up all night to work on that soundtrack. And when my puter39。s disk burner (刻錄機) went out at 6 in the morning, he spent a college student39。s week39。s worth of ines to replace it. Why would he go into all that trouble? Because he knew that out of all the other important things he could be doing, this was imperative to me. He knew because it was once important to him. Having graduated from Layton High just a year earlier, he knew what it was like to be in the center of people39。s attention. He knew how fun high school could be, and he wanted me to have a great experience. I ended up losing the election, but that day changed my world forever. The lesson my brother taught me became my most important belief. But it wasn39。t until I had a similar opportunity that I really understood why he cared so much. What did it take for me to understand? It was the performance. The rest of the cast and I would rehearse every day after school for 6 months all for what? The chance to perform a play eight times. As I came out on that stage for the first time and listened to the laughter, I was filled with joy. By the end of the play, the audience broke into tears, and so did we. What happened?

I recently caught myself feeling this way, and based on a suggestion by John Horton, coauthor (合著者) of The Inner Game of Stress, I put myself on a 30day lifeappreciation course. The only assignment each day was to go outside and appreciate life. So I started by taking in the beauty around me. During the first few days, I was able to appreciate my surroundings, although it was an intellectual appreciation, not an emotional one. After the first week, it was more unfortable to lie in bed and think about things than it was to get up and see them for myself. If you often wake up feeling anxious or depressed, or if you don39。t look forward to each day, then you need to try this course for yourself. It39。s an inner workout that you can do anywhere. It may not change your life, but it will adjust your attitude, and that39。s pretty helpful in this crazy world. I have always believed in ending the day on a positive note by writing a word or two in a gratitude journal and saying something sweet to my wife about the day we shared. Now, I have a new morning habit. It hasn39。t changed my routine one bit, but it has changed the way I look at the world. Creating a new habit
