Question

When I was about 12, a girl in my class liked to point out my problems. I was too thin; I wasn’t a good student; I talked too much; I was too  61  , and so on. At last, I became very angry and ran to my father.

He listened to me  62 . Then he asked, “Are these things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a  63  of what she said and find the  64  that are true.”

I did he told me. To my great  65 . I discovered that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change(like being very thin). But there were things I could and wanted to change. For the  66  time, I got a clear  67  of myself.

I brought the list back to dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you.” He said. “You know the truth about  68  better than anyone else. When people say something that is true about you, you should find it helpful.”

Our world is full of people who think they know your business. Don’t  69  and feel  70 . Listen to them.
