When I was about 12, I had a classmate, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much. I tried to put up with her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
My father listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my surprise, I discovered that about half of the things were true. I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said, “When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”
Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will remember all your life!
