There was once a young man who always saw the bad side of things.
One day, he went on a trip to an island with his friend. Suddenly, a strong w 1 blew their boat far away. They called for help. But it would be at least a couple of hours before anyone would find and help them. They had to w 2 in hot weather.
As they waited, the young man complained(抱怨) about the heat and the bad l 3 they were having.
When he reached for their water bottle, he said, “Oh no! The water bottle is half e 4.” Then his friend looked at the bottle and said, “But it is half full too. ” The young man watched his friend very carelessly. A smile slowly appeared on his face and b 5 of them laughed.
The young man thought to himself, “He is right. Being negative(消极的) doesn't help. ” He then c 6 his attitude(态度) gradually and started to see the good side of things.
Now the man is much older and has a happy family. He has b 7 a person who sees the bottle half full, not half empty!
Happiness is never about having a smooth life—it's about seeing the b 8 side in the dark moments. A sad person sees only problems, while a cheerful one looks for h 9 in problems. So next time when you are in a difficult situation, a 10 yourself, “Do I see a half-empty bottle, or a half-full one?” The choice is yours.
