| When I was about twelve years old, a girl in my class liked to point out my disadvantages. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn"t good at math; I talked too much; I was too proud, and so on. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and asked, "Are those things true or not? Jane, didn"t you ever think about what you"re really like?" Then he added, "Well, you have that girl"s opinions. Make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true." I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found out that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn"t change, like being very thin, but many I could -and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy, and he said, "Now you know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you"ll find it will be of great help to you. Don"t shut your ears. Listen to the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do." Daddy"s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I"ve never had a better piece of advice. | ||
