One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be ________when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I________a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always ________by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and ________was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really ________person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her ________Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost ________to deal with was that the day before the ________, Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her ________ of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to ________It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became ________her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to ________ everything so harshly ( 刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her________as well.
Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, ________ when we're honest, we can be sharply ________of the world. I'm not suggesting you________ problems, or that you pretend things are ________than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are—________most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big ________ .
Train yourself to "bite your tongue" , and with a little ________, you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.
