Comparing is competition’s twin. Comparing yourself to others is   1  but bad news. Why? Because we’re all on different  2  timetable. Since we all bake   3  , we shouldn’t keep opening the oven door to see how   4  our cake is rising compared to our neighbor’s  5  our own cake won’t rise at all.

 My problem began when I   6  the high school. Most of the kids in my high school had money. And how you   7  was everything. The big question was who is wearing what today? There were even some   8  rules about clothes such as never wear the same thing twice. Brand names and expensive jeans were a   9  . You had to have every color every style.

I began to feel   10  . A voice said to me “Why can’t you look like her?” “  11  you’re so fat?” Although I wasn’t fat; I was so   12  of being fat. It soon became a big part of my life. I started throwing   13  thirty to forty times a day. It was my secret. I couldn’t tell my parents because I didn’t want to let them   14  .

Finally the situation worsened. While I was on   15  performing in a play, I suddenly   16    Waking up in the dressing room, I found my mom at my side. “I need help,” I whispered.

  17  that I had a problem was the first step to my recovery. Looking back now, I can’t believe I got myself into that   18  of mind. I had everything I needed to be happy   19  I was so miserable. I want to shout out to the world, “Don’t ever do this to   20  .It’s not worth it.”

COMPARING NICKNAMES

 If Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Suzanne, Debra and Rose.

 If Mike, Charlie, Bob and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla (怪兽), Peanut-Head and Scrappy.

EATING OUT

When the bill arrives, Mike, Charlie, Bob and John will each throw in $20, even though it’s only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller, and none will actually admit they want change back.

 When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY

 A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants.

 A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn’t want.

BATHROOMS

 A man has six items in his bathroom: a toothbrush, comb, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from the Holiday Inn.

 The average number of items in the typical woman’s bathroom is 337... A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

ARGUMENTS

 A woman has the last word in any argument.

 Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

CATS

Women love cats.

 Men say they love cats, but when women aren’t looking, men kick cats.

FUTURE

 A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

 A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS

 A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

 A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

MARRIAGE

 A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t.

 A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change and she does.

DRESSING UP

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.

 A man will only dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL

 Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

 Women somehow deteriorate (恶化) during the night.

OFFSPRING

 Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.

 A man is vaguely (含糊地) aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Any married man should forget his mistakes. There’s no sense in two people remembering the same thing.
