Once, there was a beautiful girl who didn’t like herself, because she was blind, she couldn’t see anything.

In fact, the girl  1.  nobody except her boyfriend, for he was always  2.   to help her. She used to tell her boyfriend, “3.  I could see the world, I would marry you.”

One day, someone donated a pair of  4.  to the girl. When the bandages came off，she was able to see  5. ,including her boyfriend for the  6.   time. He asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will you  7.  me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and was greatly surprised to see that he was blind,  8.   . She had never expected that, and she would not like to be with a blind husband for the rest of her life, so she  9.   to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and a few days later wrote a  10.  to her, saying, “My dear, take good care of your eyes. Before they are yours, they were  11. .”

So, this is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember  12.   life was like before. And we often ask for more than we need. Life is a gift. Today, before you complain about the  13.   of your food，think of those who have nothing to  14. . Before you complain about life，think of some ones who went to heaven too early. Before you complain about your old  15. , think of the people who are living in the streets. And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of those who have no jobs.

In a word, enjoy the things you have and don’t forget your past.
