(单词翻译)

Be Positive – Do Something Day is on March 1st. It is our chance to make a difference in the world and do something positive. It might change our lives for the better. It often seems as though the world is full of negative news, negative people and negative images. This day is for you to reverse1 this. An Australian man, Harold Cameron, created this day. He has a lifetime’s experience of turning negatives into positives. Harold says on the Be Positive website: “I was born sickly as a child. It was thought that I would never live, but I did.” He explains how he overcame being abandoned2 as a child, abuse3, drugs, the death of close family members and other setbacks. Every time he bounced4 back through positive thinking.

One of Harold’s messages is do not procrastinate5. Do it today, not tomorrow. He says if you put things off for another day, they usually never get done. He has many suggestions about what to do on this day. Here are a few. See what you think. How about speaking a positive word to someone first thing in the morning or posting a positive message somewhere for everyone to read? Speak a positive word to the first people you meet at school or at work. Harold also suggests donating6 things from your home you no longer use or need to people in need. Be Positive – Do Something Day might also be a good time to get your life moving in the direction you want it to go. Write down your biggest life goal and go for it. You can do it.
