When my brother and I were children, we spent a few weeks each summer in the countryside with our uncle. He was a geologist(地质学家) and loved to go on long walks to find stones for his collection in his spare time. We often followed him.
One day, we left early, and this time, our uncle had bought us backpacks to help him carry the samples(样本). The whole day, we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, our uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit surprised that he also took some stones out from our bags at times, but we thought maybe he had just found better samples than the ones we already had.
When we reached the house in the late afternoon, we were tired out. The backpacks were so heavy that we gave a big sigh of relief when we put them on the ground. Yet our uncle’s backpack was half-empty.
“Why did you give us so many stones？” we asked.
“I didn’t. You did,” he said. “You did not know it, but I made you go through a little attitude(态度) test today.”
“What do you mean an ‘attitude test’？” we wondered.
“It is something someone once did to me. You see, I listened to every word you said. And whenever you complained about anyone or anything, I added a stone to your bags. And whenever you talked about something with an attitude of gratitude(感恩) and positive(正面的) thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks.”
We did. They were full.
“Your negative(负面的) thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in a backpack. The more negative thoughts you have, the heavier your mind is. So look at those bags and start paying attention to what you say and how you say things.”
This little lesson was one of the most important I ever had. And I remember my uncle with great love for teaching us one of the most important lessons in life—the power of attitude.
