Self-acceptance - road to happiness

"I don't like my nose," Jiaye confessed. "I wish I have a sharper nose."

Most plastic surgeons maintain that when a physical abnormality is corrected in a patient, there is an almost immediate psychological change. The person who looks better becomes more socially outgoing, more pleasant and confident. An orthopedic friend once told me: "It's amazing how an improved appearance raises the self-image and morale of my patients.

If I am to be a happy person, I must learn to be happy about who I am. But this is not a simple matter but I will hack it because self-accepting people are happy people.
