第18期青春励志(18)-英语听力[00:00:00]

Self-Acceptance Leads to Happiness [00:00:17]

Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people. [00:00:21]

When we are young, [00:00:26]

it is important to us to be accepted [00:00:28]

by a group and to be seen as "cool" by our peers. [00:00:30]

To do this, [00:00:35]

we will often adopt the views and interests [00:00:36]

of the group rather than develop our own. [00:00:40]

Over time, however, [00:00:43]

we have the opportunity to [00:00:44]

learn to accept ourselves. [00:00:47]

People who have done this are confident [00:00:50]

in their true abilities; [00:00:52]

they do not feel the need to create [00:00:54]

a facade to impress other people. [00:00:56]

They are concerned with [00:00:59]

whether their actions produce worthwhile results [00:01:01]

rather than with how they are seen by others. [00:01:05]

Less secure people are quite different. [00:01:09]

Instead of finding security in themselves, [00:01:12]

they look for other people to provide it. [00:01:16]

This kind of person constantly agrees [00:01:18]

with everything others suggest, [00:01:22]

for fear of having their own ideas rejected. [00:01:24]

Arrogant or defensive people [00:01:28]

are also usually insecure; [00:01:30]

in an attempt to hide their insecurities, [00:01:33]

they belittle or blame others. [00:01:36]

Secure people do not give up [00:01:39]

when faced with a difficult situation; [00:01:41]

they say "I can" rather than "I can't." [00:01:44]

Knowing that each day is an opportunity to [00:01:49]

use their talents to acquire good health, [00:01:52]

good friendships, and great happiness, [00:01:55]

they always put their best foot forward. [00:01:58]

Contented people do not judge others, [00:02:01]

nor do they judge themselves. [00:02:05]

They can appreciate the differences [00:02:07]

between themselves and other people. [00:02:09]

Recognizing the details [00:02:13]

that we cannot change about ourselves [00:02:15]

is also a sign of personal growth. [00:02:18]

We cannot change our height, [00:02:21]

so why waste energy complaining about being short? [00:02:24]

Our energy would be better spent [00:02:28]

on more constructive projects. [00:02:30]

Instead of dwelling on personal characteristics [00:02:33]

we are not satisfied with, [00:02:36]

we ought to focus more on what we are good at. [00:02:38]

Such expressions as "Love thyself" [00:02:42]

and "to thine own self be true" [00:02:46]

are about self-acceptance and confidence, [00:02:49]

as well as honesty and morality. [00:02:53]

We should consider them to be good advice, [00:02:56]

and treat them as signposts showing [00:02:59]

the way to happiness within. [00:03:02]
