My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he 36 from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months 37 it took long for the skin to stop shrinking(萎缩), he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch 38 on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaton, 39 will pay any more attention to your scar 40 you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother others, 41 .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head 42 high — glad he was alive.
43 , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people 44 like you better, if you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer 45 .
But you see, like Keaton’s scar, people will only judge you by your looks, or your 46 , or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false 47 .
One of my friends in college was very 48 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his 49 for about 10 seconds. But this man felt good about himself and spent most of his time 50 about other people’s comfort and welfare. 51 , people ignored his looks. w*w^w.k&s#5@u.c~o*mWhat people 52 was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t 53 him an ugly man.
Therefore, concentrate on 54 you value with yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same 55 .
