Here's the gist of the quote, broken down into a bulleted list:
You can't control what happens to you. The author mentions death, being chained, and exile as examples of things outside of one's control.
You can control your reaction to it. The central question is whether you must also lament, or suffer emotionally, in response to these uncontrollable events.
A positive mindset is a choice, even in the face of hardship. The quote suggests that you can choose to face these difficulties "with smiles and cheerfulness and contentment."
