How do you present yourself to the world? If you are a person of inferiority (自卑), you may think that others will 1______ you. However, the 2______ is that the person who devalues you most in the world is yourself.
A few years ago, I met a girl at Claremont. When I get together with her, I always feel the sun. The breath from her heart overflows self-confidence and optimism. A friend couldn't help asking, "Why are you so confident?" The girl laughed, "There is a secret in my room."
It's a mirror. Shining out from the mirror, she can appear to be thinner than herself. 3______ going out every day, she smiles to the mirror. Every day she goes out with good mood. Then she gains more self-confidence from others' admiring glances. The girl says, "I know that my image is not good enough, but I don't want to 4______ myself in self-pity."
A philosopher in the east once said, "With brass as a mirror, you can dress yourself; with history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall; with people as a mirror, you can know gain and loss." And with a mirror in your heart, you will have a 5______ idea of who you are and who you want to be. 6______, the mirror is not only in the girl's room, but deeply kept in the girl's heart.
