One day when I was 15 years old, I had some friends over to hang out. While we were making food in the kitchen, my brother came in. He placed his beef next to my (1) one and said, “Courtney, your beef is bigger than mine. You don’t need to (2); you’re already fat enough.” Then he walked out laughing.

Unpleasant (3) on my physical appearance were nothing new. Something inside me gave in to his idea that my legs were (4), and that became the last day that I ever willingly wore (5) until I was 30 years old. For the next 15 years, I spent summer after summer (6) in long pants.

But then I met Ragen Chastain, and she (7) everything. I couldn’t believe that this woman who, like myself, weighed almost 300 pounds was so (8) and happy in her own skin. I (9) as she shared her own journey to recovery and self-love. She talked about how amazing our (10) are, simply because of the things they do every day—like breathing, (11) blood to every cell, blinking and walking.

Walking! I was suddenly (12) how foolish I’d been for so long. There’re people who are born without legs, or who lack (13) working legs, or who lose their legs, and I’d been hiding my perfectly strong, healthy, beautiful legs (14) because I had (15) someone to convince me that they weren’t good enough. The next day, I bought three pairs of shorts and a sundress and spent the entire summer letting my legs (16) the sun and feel the breeze.

The next time anyone comments on your body in a (17) way, look them straight in the eye, smile and say, “If what you see (18) you so much, feel free to practice the ancient art of looking (19) else.” That’s Ragen’s own (20), but I don’t think she’ll mind if you use it.

s are about people."Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen？" "When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend？ Or did he envy my luck？" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad.But when we look back, it's too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends--or our enemies？ Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning.And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words.Suppose someone tells you, "you're a lucky dog".Is he really on your side？ If he says, "You're a lucky guy" or "You're a lucky gal", that's being friendly.But "lucky dog"？ There's a bit of envy in those words.Maybe he doesn't see it himself.But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little.What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words？ One way is to take a good look at the person talking.Do his words fit the way he looks？ Does what he says square with the tone of voice？ His posture (体态)？ The look in his eyes？ Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

段落翻译： Before you make up your mind about which way to go, take a hard, honest look at your motivation for starting a company. Too many people are looking to get rich, escape the corporate grind, and work shorter hours with more free time. None of those reasons is likely to lead to success. If you are focused on solving a customer problem or need, believe you can do what you do better than anyone else, dying to work long hours, wear many hates, and juggle endless responsibilities, then you have the right startup mindset. You also need certain personality traits. One of them is a willingness to work very hard all by yourself, at least for the first year or so (and possibly longer).
