My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he 36from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months 37it took long for the skin to stop shrinking. So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch 38on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaton, 39will pay any more attention to your scar 40you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother 41.” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head 42high — glad he was alive.
43, everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people 44like 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.

He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t 53him an ugly man.
