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.
