My son was badly hurt in a fire.After he 1from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months 2it took long for the skin to stop shrinking(收缩).So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch 3on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaton, 4will pay any more attention to your scar 5you do.If it does not bother you, it will not bother 6.” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head 7high — glad he was alive.
8, everyone has scars and shortcomings.Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better, 9you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer 10.
But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your 11, or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false 12.
One of my friends in college was very 13.At first, when people met him, they noticed his 14for about 10 seconds.This man felt 15about himself and spent most of his time 16about other people’s comfort and welfare. 17, people ignored his looks.What people 18was his kindness and his concern for them.He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.
Therefore, concentrate on what you value 19yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same 20.
