Passage I

Two Ways of Looking at Life

Your attitude strongly reflects your outlook on life. Take a closer look at that connection. Are you a pessimist—or an optimist? Can you see how your way of looking actually does color1 your attitude? And remember: change your outlook and you change your attitude.

1 The father is looking down into the crib at his sleeping newborn daughter, just home from the hospital. His heart is overflowing with awe and gratitude for the beauty of her, the perfection.

2 The baby opens her eyes and stares straight up.

3 The father calls her name, expecting that she will turn her head and look at him. Her eyes don‘t move.

4 He picks up a furry little toy attached to the rail of the crib and shakes it, ringing the bell it contains. The baby‘s eyes don‘t move.

5 His heart has begun to beat rapidly. He finds his wife in their bedroom and tells her what just happened. ―She doesn‘t seem to respond to noise at all,‖ he says. ―It‘s as if she can‘t hear.‖

6 ―I‘m sure she‘s all right,‖ the wife says, pulling her dressing gown2around her. Together they go into the baby‘s room.5 10
