One of the most common social fears is that we are not good enough. Perhaps you feel you won’t 21 others because they are more confident, successful, intelligent or attractive than you. Such thinking is misguided. The 22 of doing well is accepting yourself as you are.
When I was a student, I kept a diary filled with 23 memories. Some were painful memories from 24 when I felt hurt, confused, lonely and insecure. I 25 pieces of dreams and personal feelings of anger and hatred, 26 things I enjoyed such as magic shops and coin dealers.
Then a terrible thing happened. 27 dinner one night I realized I had left my diary in the cloakroom（衣帽间）outside the campus dining hall. 28 that somebody might read it and find out the truth about me, I 29 back, but it was gone.
Weeks passed, and eventually I gave up hope of ever finding it 30 . A month later, I was 31 up my jacket in the same place when I saw my brown 32 diary, just where I’d left it.
33 I read through the pages and found that a 34 had written the following, “God bless you. I’m 35 like you, only I 36 keep a diary, and I’m 37 to know there are others like me. I hope things turn out well for you.”
Tears came to my eyes. It had never dawned（开始为人所明白）on me that any one could know my inner feelings and also 38 things just like the way I did.
No matter what you are like, whether you’re rich or poor, brilliant or average, attractive or 39 , there are people like you. Discard（抛弃）your fears of not measuring up（符合期望）, and 40 yourself as you are.
