We all have problems that prevent us from moving forward. Some people deal with them by loving instead of hating. The word “love” means accepting your problems. The more we deny(否定) a problem, the stronger it seems to become. Only when we accept the fact can we find the useful ways to deal with it.

Suppose one of your problems is taking a final exam. You fear that you will forget everything that you have remembered. One way of dealing with it is to pretend(假装) that you are not afraid—tell yourself “I’m not going to be scared” and then try to smile.

But compared with that, loving your fear works better. You just need to say to yourself, “I’m scared. But I’m going to take it anyway. It is not just a problem. It’s also a chance for me to make progress.” By that, you allow youself to be afraid and you can have a right attitude (态度) to your problems. You welcome your problems and face them in an active way, so there’s no doubt that you are more likely to overcome them completely.

It is impossible to live a life without problems. Loving them doesn’t mean hiding them. Instead, it means admitting(承认) the truth about them. This helps us take useful action, which can free us of the problems once and for all.

1. The word “love” means ________.
2. You fear that ________ you have remembered.
3. Tell yourself “I’m not going to be scared” and then ________.
4. You can allow yourself to be afraid and then you welcome your problems and ________.
5. Loving problems doesn’t mean hiding them but admitting ________.
