You may treat life with the philosophy (哲学) of the vegetable, in which case your life will include being born, eating, drinking, sleeping, marrying, growing old and dying.The second basic attitude is to look at life as if it were a business. A great many so-called successful men and women believe that life is a business. If you believe so, your first question of life, naturally, is “ What do I get out of it? “ “ How much is this worth to me?“ In a word, based on this attitude, happiness becomes a matter of successful competition. The great majority of human beings today look at life as if it were a business.The third attitude toward life is the way of the artist. Here the basic philosophy is “What can I put into it?“. They value cooperation and contribution. This point of view has been proved by history; for history remembers best those who have contributed most richly to the interests of their fellow-men.

From that moment on, “the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,“ she recalls.The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn,“ I dont know how to use a computer,“ she admits.Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,“ she says.“ I didnt want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when were self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.“But she hasnt always practiced what she teaches.
