In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be   21 with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit   22 . The only solution is to reach   23 and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more   24 measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your   25 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others .Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get   26 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   27 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly   28 . The only direct and honest comparison is   29 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only   30 to compare yourself to someone else if their life  31 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that   32 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated（埋头苦干的）you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can   33 someone is coming up fast   34 you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   35 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   36 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who   37 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of   38 . You are a more   39 person today than you were yesterday. Your own   40 is all you need.

The story goes that some time ago, a man had a very lovely little daughter. One day the man 26 his 3-year-old daughter for 27 a roll of gold wrapping paper.

I 37 kisses into the box. They are all for you, Daddy.”

“Are you too stupid to do anything right?” These words — said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son — were spoken 26 he had walked away from her. The boy returned, his eyes downcast.
Not a 27 moment, perhaps, 28 small moments last a very long time. And a few words — though they mean 29 at the time to the people who say them — can have great 30 .
I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff. For the last 24 years he has been a professional 31 . Here is what he told me:
As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly 32 . He had few 33 and no self-confidence. One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment . The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Now they were to write their own chapter that would 34 the last chapter of the novel.
Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it 35 . Today he can not recall anything 36 about the chapter he wrote, or what 37 Mrs Brach gave him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs Brach wrote in margin（空白）of the paper: “This is 38 writing.”
Four words. They 39 his life.
“ 40 I read those words, I had no ideal of who I was or 41 I was going to be,” he said. “After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been 42 of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs Brach to evaluate. She was 43 , tough and honest. “She was just what I 44 ,” Dalkoff said.
His confidence 45 . Dalkoff believed that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of the paper.

A young student was one day taking a walk with a professor, who was commonly    21    the students’ friend. As they went    22     , they saw lying in the path a pair of old    23    , which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a   24    close by. The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let’s play the man a   25   : We will hide his shoes, and 26    ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his   27   when he cannot find them.”
“ My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never   28    ourselves at the   29    of the poor. But you are   30   , and may give yourself a much greater   31    by means of the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and   32    how the discovery affects him.” The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes. The poor man soon finished his work, and came   33    the field to the path   34    he had left his coat and shoes. While   35    his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling something   36   , he stopped down to feel    37    it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his face. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and proceeded to put on the other shoe; but his 38    was doubled on finding the other coin. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and uttered aloud a fervent（热烈的）thanksgiving, in which he   39    his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. The student stood there deeply   40   , and his eyes filled with tears.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning on June 9, 2003 when I received the phone call. “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 21 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a(n) 22 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 23 .
The doctor described the 24 , which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they 25 the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much petrol. The flames 26 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
27 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and 28 him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 29 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.
After he 30 from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months 31 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling. So he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 32 scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not 33 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 34 this wisdom on to my son. He kept my advice in 35 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars didn’t 36 , so he made the 37 to give up any plastic surgery.
We all have “scars” that we believe 38 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 39 standards. Put your imperfections(缺点；瑕疵) out of your mind and concentrate on what you value 40 yourself, and your beauty will shine through.

I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn’t believe it. There were no    41    in rows or loud-sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to    42   . Although we lived “in”,    43   made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “ lights out”.
The    44 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or    45 class. The new ones always went wild    46   , but his wildness never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like _47 ; never did we have to   48_   “ stand up”, “ sit down”, “ speak out”. I don’t    49    one student who didn’t try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in the ___50_____ school, but what a difference in the method! For example, in botany (植物学) we had   51__ classes in the spring or fall, but instead we planted two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few    52 things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different sizes of storerooms---small ones   53   , but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a    54 time, too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints(蓝图;设计图), figuring out the angles and so on. I didn’t take    55__ . But I could do the basic things with numbers. That’s   56   .
57_    I think I am a      58    person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else of my age, and I think better. That’s probably a real big      ___59     between the free school and the regular school--- the amount of   60   .
