Turning a Bad Mood into a Good One

One day, on my way to school by bus, I stepped on a young man's foot accidentally/quite by accident/chance. I said sorry to him politely immediately, but he called my names rudely. I am in a bad mood the rest of the day.

Realizing my bad mood, my headteacher talked with me patiently about it. He said that in fact it is an attitude toward life. It is known to us all that there is a famous saying “Everything depends on one's attitude”. Life is like a mirror, if you smile at it, it will smile back to you. 

Through this matter, I realize that a good mood is actually an attitude toward life in essence, and that an active attitude toward everything is very important. I'll face everything unpleasant tolerantly from now on and let my soul full of sunshine.
