He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. You can't be a positive person all of the time. I choose to be in a good mood. I choose to learn from it.
Life is all about choices.
When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. I reflected on what Michael said.
