The artist A Kuan drew a portrait of me and put it in my Wenyuzhai for a few days. Visitors who saw it said that it was nothing like the mole on the top of the left side of my nose.After hearing this, Xiao Kuan was not convinced, and said, "You go and have a cosmetic surgery to get rid of that mole, and I will draw it again, it will definitely look more like it!" The mole on the left side of the nose was not there a few years ago.At first it was just a faint gray spot, then gradually raised, and grew up unconsciously, now it is light black, dotted on the left side of the face in the triangle area between the crouching silkworm eyebrow, red phoenix eye and lion nose, just like nature, Be a point of view for others.

I went to consult a doctor friend, and he said that your mole is not itchy or painful, the edges are neat, and there is no ulceration. It is a benign wart.I said it is the same as my temper, good at it.The doctor laughed and said that you eat so much nutrition every day, and you swallow multivitamin tablets after meals, which are absorbed everywhere in your body. Why can't it also absorb nutrients and swell itself like a flower?Finally, I told me that if you find that it makes you uncomfortable, or if the edges are not neat, or there is soup, then it is a disease, you come here quickly, and I will deal with it for you.

Think about it too, everyone has moles, so there is no need to make a fuss.Many celebrities on the screen have moles, some are quite big, some have long foreheads, some have long chins, and some have long necks. This does not affect people's interest in watching them play various roles , even after removing makeup, not only do not dislike the mole, but also feel the image is more interesting.If you are not afraid of moles if you are engaged in an acting career that people can watch, people in other industries should not care.What's more, according to some physiognomy, moles growing on certain parts of a person are particularly auspicious, which means that he or she will flourish in a certain field.In addition, we are all familiar with the term "beauty mole". Some women don't have such a mole on that part, but they will buy expensive artificial moles, and carefully paste them on the spots that can produce a charming effect.

But some people just want to pursue perfection, and they can't tolerate moles on their bodies, especially on their faces, which are obviously benign, and they insist on surgery to remove them.A doctor friend told me that there was a lady who had to burn off a small mole on the corner of her mouth. She called it a "matchmaker mole", a "cheap mole" rather than an "expensive mole". .The doctor told her, wouldn't you be happy if you adjust your mental state, change the name, and call it "matchmaker mole"?The lady still insisted on electrocautery, and the postoperative effect was good, but she sighed during the reexamination, and said, "Why have all the moles been removed, and people still say that I have a matchmaker's mouth, so I can manage other people's marriages?" The doctor asked. : "Does people hate you more?" She said: "That's not true. Everyone knows that my matchmaker's mouth and matchmaker's heart are completely kind." The doctor said: "People's personality weaknesses are the same as benign warts, which do not hinder survival. It doesn't matter if you can't twist it, you don't have to feel ugly, feel sorry for yourself, and feel sorry for yourself."

Tolerate the benign warts on your body, and more tolerant of the normal moles exposed in front of your eyes; Tolerant of the general weaknesses in your character, and more tolerant of the human weaknesses of others that do not harm the society and you; Pursue beauty, but never delusional own perfection.Holding such an attitude towards life may be more beneficial to oneself, the society, and others, and it may also be more contented, more generous and kind. My temper is indeed the same as the mole on my nose.But that's not a hostility to get along with others, it's just more straightforward, for example, if you call to ask if you can "attend" a certain event, you will immediately answer "no".Some people feel that this temper or airs are really too big after hearing it.In fact, no matter how many detours I make, such as thanking first, then explaining, or even spreading some "innocuous" "beautiful lies", I still don't go in the end. Of course, "thank you" has its advantages, that is, it makes the other party feel that they are not hitting a wall but velvet The wall, but a straightforward refusal does not mean disrespect for others. In my opinion, each other's time and energy are precious, so it is better to be straightforward.This "straight temper", which is known for being good, has gradually been tolerated by some organizations and people. Some still call, and when they hear the simple answer of "yes", they don't thank me enough, and immediately finalize the relevant details. Since I agreed, I must bring a mole to attend. In the last two times, I will feel that things are not so perfect, but after all, I have gained something and am still happy.

A doctor friend said that once he felt horrified, that is, when he was doing a physical examination of people in a unit, he found that there was not even a small, shallow mole on his body... In the exclamation, When he woke up, it turned out to be a dream.Let us all ponder this strange dream.
