I have read plenty of articles about self-improvement these past few months, and most of them tell you that you need to wake up and keep positive(积极的). When you wake up, you need to think that something great is going to happen today.
This kind of positive attitude(态度)is supposed to change your whole day. So this morning, I woke up and decided to give it a whirl. The sun was shining brightly through my bedroom window, and it gave me this warm feeling inside. I thought to myself, “Today is going to be a great day.” I got out of bed, took a shower and got dressed. I put on a pair of dress pants I have not worn in a while, followed by my shirt and that is when it began. I reached into my left pocket and pulled out what felt like some paper.
You know that feeling of finding a $20 bill in your pants and it feels like free money? Because you forgot all about it and thought you never did? I pulled out a $100 bill and a $50 bill in the same pocket. It seems like the best thing that have happened to me these days. Yes. $150 starts off my day! I shouted in joy, with my poor dog looking at me like I was crazy!
Start your morning off thinking you are going to have the best day ever and you just might! I really want to know what will happen next.
69. made the writer think in a positive way.

Tomatoes taste great. With a lot of vitamins(维他命), they are good for you, too! 73
Not all tomatoes are red. They can be yellow, orange, pink or white. All tomatoes are green before they are ready to be picked. Then the tomatoes turn their true color. 74
75 The Incas(印加人) grew them over 1,000 years ago. They were introduced to Europe by the Spanish in the early 16th century. The Spanish and Italian seem to have been the first Europeans to accept them as food. In France, people grew tomatoes in the garden just to enjoy their beauty. 76 It was years before some of them would eat tomatoes.
Tomatoes are fruits. They grow from seeds. They won’t grow in cold weather. But with water, sunlight and warmth, tomatoes grow fast. They can grow in pots or in the ground. 77 Next is the blooming stage. Flowers appear. The flowers turn into fruit. Some kinds of tomatoes can be picked in about six more weeks.
