Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people .When we are young ,it is important for us to be accepted by a group and to be seen as "cool" by our friends and classmates .To do this ,we will often take up the views and interests of the group rather than develop our own.?
Over time, however ,we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves .People who have done this are confident in their true abilities; they do not feel the need to create a façade to impress other people .They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others.?
Less secure（有把握的）people are quite different .Instead of finding security in themselves, they look for other people to provide it .This kind of person constantly agree with everything others suggest ,for fear of having their own ideas refused. Secure people do not give up when faced with a difficult situation ;they say "I can "rather than "I can’t". Knowing that each day is an opportunity to use their talents to acquire good health, good friendships ,and great happiness, they always do their best.?
Recognizing the details that we cannot change about ourselves is also a sign of personal growth. We cannot change our height ,so why waste energy complaining about being short ?Our energy would be better spent on more constructive projects .Instead of thinking about personal characteristics we are not satisfied with ,we ought to focus more on what we are good at .Such expressions as "love yourself "are about self-acceptance and confidence, as well as honesty and morality .We should consider them to be good advice, and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within.?

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know.
I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled，little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said，“Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I' m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug？”I laughed and enthusiastically responded，“Of course you may.”and she gave me a giant squeeze. “Why are you in college at such a young，innocent age？”I asked. She jokingly replied，“I'm here to meet a rich husband，get married，have a couple of children，and then retire and travel.”“No，seriously？”I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one. ”she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milk- shake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year，Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from the other students. She was living it up.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium(讲台). As she began to deliver her prepared speech，she dropped her 3x5 cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said，“I'm sorry I'm so nervous. I gave up beer for Lent(一种威士忌的牌子) and this whisky is killing me. I'll never get my speech back in order to let me just tell you what I know.”
As we laughed she cleared her throat and began：“We do not stop playing because we are old；we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young，being happy，and achieving success.” “You have to laugh and find humor every day.” You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams，you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it.” “There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing，you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything, I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. It’s non-optional but that doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.” “Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did，but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.” She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose.” She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.
One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be. When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they’ll really enjoy it! These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE
