How Self-Acceptance Leads to Happiness Within

Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people. When we are young, it is

important to us to be accepted by others. To do this, we will often adopt the views

and interests of the others rather than develop our own.

Over time, however, we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves. People

who have done this are confident in their true abilities; they do not feel the need

to impress other people. They are concerned with whether their actions produce

worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others.

Less confident people constantly agree with everything others suggest, for fear

of having their own ideas rejected. Defensive people are also usually unconfident;

in an attempt to hide their unconfidence, they blame others.

Confident people do not give up when faced with a difficult situation; they say

"I can" rather than "I can't." Knowing that each day is an opportunity to use their

talents to acquire good health, good friendships, and great happiness, they always

put their best foot forward. Gradually they can appreciate the differences between

themselves and other people.

Recognizing the details that we cannot change about ourselves helps us grow

personally, so why waste energy complaining about being short? Instead of focusing

on personal characteristics we are not satisfied with, we ought to focus more on what

we are good at.

Such expressions as "Love yourself" and "Be true to your own self" are about

self-acceptance, as well as honesty and morality. We should consider them to be good

advice, and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within.

阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的要求答题。

[1]We are told breakfast is the most important meal of the day，and dinner the

most enjoyable．It is an occasion to socialize and spend time with the family．But

what about lunch?

[2]In today's fast-paced society，few people take time to enjoy this midday

meal．Most of us just rush right through it．We grab a quick salad，or buy a sandwich

and eat at our computers．Sometimes，if there is a deadline around the corner，we

are constantly troubled by e-mail，social media，and 24-hour news．Even When we do

sit down for lunch，we are more connected to our hand-held electronic devices than

ourselves．

[4]Long working hours can cause all kinds of health problems，and many developed

countries have put in place labor laws specifically regarding the lunch break．These

regulations give employees the right to take a break during a long work shift，but

it's up to them whether they do so or not．

[5]Frank Partnoy，a former Wall Street trader，says that employers should encourage

workers to take time off for lunch．This is because long lunch breaks can benefit

both individuals and society．Writing in The Guardian，Partnoy says that one obvious

reason to take a lunch break is to slow down and gain some perspective．A break from

work allows us to think strategically and outside the box．It also puts our daily

tasks into a broader context．If we sit down at a proper restaurant and chat leisurely

with colleagues，we are more likely to slow down，something that hardly can be achieved

in a noisy and over-packed fast food chain．

[6]Despite these benefits，some employees might still be unwilling to take time

off for lunch．Partnoy's suggestion? Make skipping lunch difficult：Employers could
