My son was badly hurt in a fire．After he__36__from a series of treatments，the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months__37__it took long for the skin to stop shrinking （收缩）. So, he had to return to college with a visible 10inch__38__on his face.
I said to my son, “Keaston，__39__will pay any more attention to your scar__40__you do. If it does not bother you, it will not bother__41__.” He took my advice to heart and returned to school with his head__42__high—glad he was alive.
__43__, everyone has scars and shortcomings．Some of you may spend much time thinking that people would like you better, __44__you looked different, or dressed differently, or could have a different and newer__45__.
But you see, like Keaston’s scar，people will only judge you by your looks，or your__46__, or your car, if you are judging yourself by these same false__47__.
One of my friends in college was very__48__. At first, when people met him, they noticed his__49__for about 10 seconds. This man felt__50__about himself and spent most of his time__51__about other people’s comfort and welfare.__52__, people ignored his looks. What people__53__was his kindness and his concern for them. He didn’t act in an ugly way so people didn’t treat him as an ugly man.
Therefore, concentrate on what you value__54__yourself, because if you can see that beautiful person, everyone you are in contact with will see the same__55__.

Please, look for these things, and remember them.
"For, _________ it may sound silly to some people, these things are the 'stuff' of life. The little things we are put here on earth to enjoy. The things we often take for ________. We must make _______important to notice them, for at any time...it can all be taken away."

Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and remember what a deep _________ she made on all us, and I try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we all __________.
Take notice of something _________you see on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot. Or walk on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to get a double dip ice cream cone. _______ as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often _______, but the things we didn't do.
