One of the most common social fears is that we are not good enough. Perhaps you feel you won’t 21 others because they are more confident, successful, intelligent or attractive than you. Such thinking is misguided. The 22 of doing well is accepting yourself as you are.
When I was a student, I kept a diary filled with 23 memories. S
ome were painful memories from 24 when I felt hurt, confused, lonely and insecure. I 25 pieces of dreams and personal feelings of anger and hatred, 26 things I enjoyed such as magic shops and coin dealers.
Then a terrible thing happened. 27 dinner one night I realized I had left my diary in the cloakroom（衣帽间）outside the campus dining hall. 28 that somebody might read it and find out the truth about me, I 29 back, but it was gone.
Weeks passed, and eventually I gave up hope of ever finding it 30 . A month later, I was 31 up my jacket in the same place when I saw my brown 32 diary, just where I’d left it.
33 I read through the pages and found that a 34 had wr
itten the following, “God bless you. I’m 35 like you, only I 36 keep a diary, and I’m 37 to know there are others like me. I hope things turn out well for you.”
Tears came to my eyes. It had never dawned（开始为人所明白）on me that any one could know my inner feelings and also 38 things just like the way I did.
No matter what you are like, whether you’re rich or poor, brilliant or average, attractive or 39 , there are people like you. Discard（抛弃）your fears of not measuring up（符合期望）, and 40 yourself as you are.

When I was in the final year of my graduation studies, I visited a friend’s home for lunch. The moment I reached his house, I found the staircases of his building were not so good and his home was not painted very well. I couldn’t 36 in words but it was not even the type of house in which a typical middle-class Indian family lives.
The greatest things I did find there were his parents. We sat on the ground for lunch because they didn’t have a dining 37 . His mother served us very delicious food, smiled throughout and showed care for the 38 lunch session. I can never forget that.
His father worked as a normal 39 and I wondered if he earned enough money to support their two sons. While we were taking lunch, his father returned home to meet us. When he entered their home, his hands were dark black and his clothes were very dirty. My friend had no 40 about his father and made the introductions.
As soon as his father came in, my friend asked me if I wanted “Papad”（a typical Indian food）to eat. Before I could say anything, the father very gently and kindly 41 it for me, after going through many staircases even though he was looking 42 .
Today, my friend is a leader in a big company. He is able to 43 high rent in Hyderabad and have a new beautiful home. Not only that, he helped his brother 44 in his studies and is still helping.
What I want to say is that I consider 45 as richness in a poor family. The amount of money you make won’t 46 other’s hearts; the only way is with love and kindness. Struggle and bad periods are needed for everyone’s life, as they make us strong. If you have strong willpower, goals and also the attitude of hard and smart work, you can 47 be a successful person in some areas of life.
