Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced a grave threat from the life-and-death disease--SARS. Yet, even during those dreadful times, some afflicted people remained optimistic. Instead of wearing neutral white masks, some people turned to colourful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood. Some creative people coined SARS as an acronym for "SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING." I was deeply touched by their optimism, nearly forgetting that we were still in a battle. People who survive these kinds of circumstances, at some point, decide to carry on: in spite of the overwhelming odds.
Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day.
As for me, I choose to be cheerful.
