In his book, The Power of a Positive No , Dr. David Burns shares a story about a man who’s terminal diagnosis was cancer. In the midst of this horrible news, he got a letter from his doctor that said, “Don’t be sad! Be happy.” The man was so angry that he almost tore up the letter. “How can you tell me to be happy?” he thought. But at the end of the letter, the doctor had written, “I know you have heard this before, but I have been asked to tell you again: Don't be sad! Be happy.”
