My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he   36   from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months   37   it took long for the skin to stop shrinking(萎缩), he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch   38    on his face.

I said to my son, “Keaton,   39    will pay any more attention to your scar  40   you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother others,   41  .” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head  42   high — glad he was alive.

  43   , everyone has scars and shortcomings. Some of you may spend much time thinking that people   44   like 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 .

One of my friends in college was very  48  . At first, when people met him, they noticed his  49   for about 10 seconds. But this man felt good about himself and spent most of his time  50   about other people’s comfort and welfare.  51  , people ignored his looks. w*w^w.k&s#5@u.c~o*mWhat people  52  was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t  53   him an ugly man.

Therefore, concentrate on   54   you value with yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same  55  .
