When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Wee k by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talke d too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last , I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my

eyes.

He listened to me quietly, the n he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. 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 great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good num ber I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of

myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth ab out yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear 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.

5. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s

complaint?
