When I was about twelve years old，a girl in my class like to point out my shortcomings．She said I was very thin；I wasn't good at math；I talked too much；I was too proud，and so on．At last，I became very angry．I ran to my father with tears in my eyes．He listened to me quietly，and asked，"Are those things true or not？Jane，didn't you ever think about what you're really like？"Then he added，"well，you have that girl's opinions．Make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true．"
I did as he told me．To my great surprise，I found out that about half the tings were true．Some of them I couldn't change，like being very thin，but many I could and suddenly I wanted to change．For the first time I got a clear picture of myself．
