When I was about 12, a girl in my class liked to point out my problems. I was too thin; I wasn’t a good student; I talked too much, I was too 46 , and so on. At last, I became very angry and ran to my father. He listened to me 47 . Then he asked, "Are these things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a 48 of what she said and find the 49 that are true."
I did as he told me. To my great 50 , I discovered that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin). But there were things I could and wanted to change. For the 51 time, I got a clear 52 of myself.
I brought the list back to Dad. He refused to take it. "That’s just for you. " he said, "You know the truth about 53 better than anyone else. When people say something that is true about you, you should find it helpful. "
Our world is full of people who think they know your business. Don’t 54 your ears and feel 55 . Listen to them.

The poor are very wonderful people. One evening my sisters and I went out and picked up four people from the street. One of them 31 a most terrible condition. I told my sisters, "You 32 the other three. I take care of this one who looks 33 .”So I did for her all that my love can do.I 34 her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she 35 ‘’Thank you" and then she died. I could not help but examined my heart before her. I asked myself 36 I would say if I was in her place. My answer was very simple.1 would say I was hungry, cold, homeless, and I was dying, or something else, but she gave me her 37 love. Then she died with a smile on her face.
I am going to try to make a home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor, I think that 38 love will spread(延伸、撒开).Through this love we will be able to bring peace to the poor. So let us always meet 39 with a smile, for the smile is the 40 of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally, we will do something for others.
