My
favourite book, The
Secret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula(公式) called "SFF"
which stands for "stopping
finding faults". I
used to be a critical person and tried to find faults. I guess I somehow inherited this
character from my father. Actually, many good qualities of my father
are worth admiring except this.
My
father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks
no one is perfect in the world. His
character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in the school.
After
I had read my favourite book I began to seek "good
things"
in other people. It
has completely changed my life. Now
I feel happier, I
have more friends, I
have more trust in people, and
I realise everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this
book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let's admit that we sometimes
complain about our situation. That's
not good. "Believe
it or not, people
don't like to listen to negative opinions."
One
more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole
attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show
off my achievements in the school without considering others' feeling. I had very few friends and most
people considered me as an "arrogant"
person. Now, I find it much easier to make
friends after making some changes!
