Operate on me as if I am aliv e, 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.
