Jerry is always on the bright side of every situation,he gives himself only two choices in life,a positive and a negative choice.He believes that learning from the mistakes he has made is a better choice than being a victim in every incident.He would wake up every morning telling himself everyday that he was in a good mood and never chooses to be in a bad one.Just like when he forgot to close his restaurant door and that resulted in the barging in of three armed robbers,and at that moment he again gave himself two choices to live or to die.In the end he chose to live.His will to live gave him the strength to survive the gun shot he got from the three armed robbers and to even joke with the doctors operating with him as he wanted them to have a positive attitude in the operation and not a "sure die" attitude.When his friend asked him how he was six months later after the accident,he still remained as positively as ever,and even asked if he wanted to see his scars.

I feel that Jerry role model to us.We should learn from his positive attitude and start everyday afresh.I agree that we should not be the victim of every incident but instead learn from it.Choices are also very important in life even if its big or small,they should all be considered carefully.Giving yourself two choices everyday is like deciding who you are going to be that day,what type of person you want to be that day.
