When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to
point out my 1. Week by week her list grew: I was
very thin; I wasn't a 2student; I talked too much; I was too3, always feeling superior to(胜过)others, and so on. I tried to hear all
this as long as I could. 4, I became very angry. I ran to my
father with 5in my eyes.
He 6 to me quietly, and then he asked. "Are
the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you ever 7 what you're really like? Well, you now have
that girl's 8. Go and9a list of everything she said and mark
the points that are10. Pay no attention to the other things
she said."
I did11 he told me. To my great12, I discovered that about half the
things were true. Some of them I couldn't 13 (like being very thin), but a good number I
could – and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I went to a fairly 14picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He15to take it. "That's just for you,"
he said. "You know16than anyone else the truth about
yourself. But you have to learn to17, not just close your ears in 18, feeling hurt when something said
about you is true, you'll find it of help to you. Our world is full of people
who think they know your affairs. Don't 19your ears. Listen to them all, but hear
the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do."
Daddy's advice has always 20 me at many important moments. In my life, I've
never had a better piece of advice.
