There was a
blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. In fact, she 16 everyone, except her loving
boyfriend who was 17 there for her. She used to tell her
boyfriend, “If I could only see the 18 , I would marry you.”
One
day, someone donated (捐赠) a pair of 19 to her. When the
bandages came off, she was able to see everything, 20 her boyfriend for the first time. He
asked her, “ 21 you can see the world, will
you 22 me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was 23
. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t 24 that. The thought of looking
at them for the rest of her life led her to 25 to marry him.
Her
boyfriend left 26 and a few days later wrote a
note to her, 27 : “Take good care of your eyes, my
dear, for 28 they are yours, they were
mine.”
This is how
the human brain often 29 when our status (地位) changes. Only a very few
remember what 30 was like before. Life is a gift. Today
before you say a(n) 31 word, think of someone who
can’t speak. Before you complain about the 32 of your food, think of someone who
has 33 to eat. Before you complain about life,
think of someone who went to heaven too early. Before you complain about your
old house, think of the people who are 34 in the streets. And when you are
tired and complain about your job, think of the 35 . So enjoy what you have and don’t
forget your past.
