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 .
