One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be 16 when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I 17 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 18 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 19 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 20 person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 21 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 22 to deal with was that the day before the 23 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 24 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 25 . It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 26 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 27 everything so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 28 as well.
Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, 29 when we're honest, we can be sharply 30 of the world. I'm not suggesting you 31 problems, or that you pretend things are 32 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are— 33 most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big 34 .
Train yourself to “bite your tongue”, and with a little 35 , you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.
