四、阅读理解-阅读回答问题（共1小题；共10分）
Self-love is the most important if you want to find out your full potentials (潜质) on earth. Accepting who you are makes you feel that you are good enough.
You are good enough does not mean you are perfect. Nobody is perfect. Being good enough means you accept who you are and believe in yourself. The truth is, opinions of other people make it hard for you to find the good part of yourself. So, you need to believe in yourself instead of caring about what people think of you. Be sure you are doing it for yourself, not for someone else. Just make efforts to improve yourself and then you are sure to become the best you can be, or a better version (版本) of yourself.
What should we do when someone is stuck (深陷) in the ocean of not feeling good enough Here are some suggestions to help. First, be a good listener. Listening to someone will not only make them feel they are worthy but also make you know better what they are going through. Then you will get the idea of how to cheer them. Besides, they always encourage others. When people talk about their dreams, tell them it's possible that all dreams can come true. So, loving others in this way will make them feel good enough.
