Marvin, a friend of mine, was the kind of guy who was always happy and had something positive to say. Being a natural motivator, Marvin was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation whenever he or she was having a bad day.

Several months ago in his restaurant, Marvin was held at gunpoint by four armed robbers. They panicked and shot him. Luckily, Marvin was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital. After 18 hours of the operation and weeks of medical care, Marvin recovered with pieces of the bullets（子弹）still in his body.

It is really a miracle（奇迹）for Marvin's surviving the robbery. When I met Marvin after the terrifying accident, I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. Marvin replied,“As I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices:I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I refused to choose to die. ”Marvin continued,“The nurses kept telling me that I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and from the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses,I read,‘He's 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 Marvin. “She asked if I was allergic（过敏的）to anything. ‘Yes,’I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled,‘Bullets. ’Over their laughter I told them,‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as  if I am alive,not dead. ?’”

“Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining,I can choose to accept their complaining or to point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life,”Marvin concluded.

Through my years of school life, I've learned that if we are to make 【小题1】 difference in life, it's important that we should begin with small things. Just as the saying goes,“Small gains bring great wealth. ”

I still remember three years ago when I 【小题2】（admit）into this school. 【小题3】（face）with so many new things to learn, I was overcome with fear and didn’t know 【小题4】 to do. Noticing my state of 【小题5】（puzzle）, my class teacher, Ms. Li, told me that by just focusing my attention 【小题6】 small things, I could make progress 【小题7】（gradual）. Keeping her 【小题8】（word）in mind, I set to and began to make steady improvements.

This experience has taught me that, as well as 【小题9】（aim） high in life, we should also care about every small thing, which can make 【小题10】（we） success possible.
