When I was about twelve years old. I had an enemy (敌人)，a girl who liked to tell
me about my shortcomings. She always 1 me that I was
very short, and I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, and so on. I tried
to stand all of these as long as I could. Finally, I became very 2 .
I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me 3 , and then
asked, “Are the things that she said true or not? Jane, have you ever 4 what
you’re really like? Now you have that girl’s 5 . Go and
make a list of everything she said and find out if that are 6 .
Pay no attention to the things that are not true.”
I did 7 he told me. To
my great surprise, I found that about half of the things were true. Some of
them I couldn’t 8 , like being very short, but a
good number of them I could. I wanted to change the bad things in me, and for the
9 time I knew something about myself in a very
clear way.
I brought the list back to my father. He 10 to
take it. “That’s only just for you,” he said, “You know better than 11 else
the truths about yourself, but sometimes others’ opinions are also important,
so you have to learn how to 12 , and not just close your ears
in anger and feel hurt. When something 13 is said about
you is true, you’ll find that it will be of help to you. Our world is full of
people who think that they know you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to all of
them.
14 hear the truth and do what you think is the
right thing to do.”
I have remembered my father’s 15 at
many important moments. I have never had a better piece of advice in my whole
life.
