I brought the list back to Dad. He didn’t take it, “That’s just for you，” he said “You know the truth (真相）about yourself better than anyone else. When people say something that is true about you，you should find it helpful.
Our wo rld is full of people who think they know your matter. Don’t be angry and feel hurt. Listen to them.
