My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he (32) from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months (33) it took long for the skin to stop shrinking. So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch scar on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaton, (34) will pay any more attention to your scar (35) you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother others.” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head (36) high-glad he was alive.
In fact, everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better, even if you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer car.
But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your (37), or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false (38).
One of my friends in college was very ugly. At first, when people met him, they noticed his looks for about 10 seconds. This man felt (39) about himself and spent most of his time (40) about other people’s comfort and welfare (幸福). Gradually, people ignored his looks. What people _______ (41) was 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 (42) yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same (43).
