For me, one of the biggest joys is to succeed in something that others think it is impossible to succeed in. Several years ago, I really ________ for a certain position, and I worked hard for it, but I ________ to get it. I clearly remember when one of my ________ bosses told me,“You ________ leadership skills and that is why we ________ somebody else.”

One year later, I got a very nice ________ from an organization called Toastmasters for my voluntary work. The recognition was for my ________ leadership skills which I testified in the organization as an area ________ , and I got it from the ________ of the organization. One of my first thoughts was the ________ from the earlier boss. He made a(n) ________ positive influence on me unintentionally (无意地).

From that point on, I have been telling myself that when people say that I lack this or that, that it is ________ , or that I can not do it, I will ________ , because I’m firmly ________ that it’s ________ .

Since then, I’ve been ________ negative statements or expressions telling that something is not possible, because I know that when I ________ my goals, it is a much bigger ________ than in the case where everyone would say, “Go for it! It is ________ . Everybody can be a CEO!” Now, I am a CEO and founder. I would like to ask you to prove others wrong who do not ________ you. There is no bigger joy than that.

I met my art teacher Ms. J in the seventh grade and she changed me.

In her first class, she encouraged us to ________ what art meant. During the discussion about facial structure and paintings, she________ the “golden ratio (黄金比例)”, a beauty standard and explained how Da Vinci applied it to his works to ensure they were visually (视觉上) attractive.

I couldn’t help but think that if my ________ had been measured against the “golden ratio”, my score would have been low.

I was born with a facial disfigurement (缺陷) and my face looked ________. After several appointments with ________, my face was changed many times with little improvement. I ________ seeing myself in the mirror.

People’s strange words and curious expressions kept telling me that I was different. Worse still my photo appeared in a magazine with big letters “Face similar to works of Picasso” right below. I felt ________.

I told Ms. J about my ________ and how my face was compared to Picasso’s painting. “Art isn’t about what you see but about what you ________.” She comforted me and told me that our ________ appearances were our signatures that we left in the world, which set us ________ and made us beautiful. And then she showed me a picture of an old man with long white hair. “You see, Da Vinci doesn’t look too pretty, but his works ________ beauty on us,” she added.

I was touched by her words, and I wondered why I had never thought this way. “Being compared to Picasso may seem like a shame, but it’s a(n) ________. You are unique and you are a masterpiece.”

Today, when I look into the mirror, I will remember the words of my teacher, “Beauty is subjective” and I get to know my appearance is my ________.

It takes me years to ________ that beauty is more than a cold calculation(计算).
