短篇英语散文:Every day is a lucky day 天天好运  

　　His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before: "Every morning when you get up
you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day
" I said. "I choose to be cheerful."
"Let me give you an example
" I continued
addressing all sixty students in the class. "In addition to teaching here at UNLV
I also teach out at the munity college in Henderson
17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day a few weeks ago I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive. I only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again
but the engine wouldn't turn over. So I put my flashers on
grabbed my books
and marched down the road to the college."
"As soon as I got there I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary in the Provost's office asked me what has happened. 'This is my lucky day
' I replied
smiling."
" 'Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?' She was puzzled. 'What do you mean?'"
" 'I live 17 miles from here.' I replied. 'My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. It didn't. Instead
it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway
within walking distance of here. I'm still able to teach my class
and I've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. If my car was meant to break down today
it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.'"
"The secretary's eyes opened wide
and then she smiled. I smiled back and headed for class." So ended my story.
I scanned the sixty faces in my economics class at UNLV. Despite the early hour
no one seemed to be asleep. Somehow
my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn't the story at all. In fact
it had all started with a student's observation that I was cheerful.
