The other day I came across an Instagram post from my friend and colleague Danielle. It was a photo of a review of Danielle s recent photography exhibit. The review was positive, but also critical. That’s why Danielle posted it. She was proud of her work, no matter what her critics thought.
I was shocked by the post- -- it was one of the most honest things I've ever seen on social media! Usually when I scroll (滚读) through Facebook or Instagram, everything I see is perfect. Perfect vacations, perfect babies, perfect birthday cakes…
I' m guilty of it too. I only post photos of happy stuff. If someone saw my Instagram, they’d probably think, “Wow, this girl doesn’t have a care in the world.... and also she must really, really love ice cream.”
Danielle s post didn’t show a perfect world. And yet that didn’t make me think less of her. Quite the opposite, I respected her even more as an artist. That got me thinking. Maybe social media could be more meaningful if we showed off our mistakes or our struggles. And not a world where everything’s perfect, ice cream never melts and the lighting s always just right.
I’m going to try it out. Start with this blog post, which I’ll share on social media. I’ve included a photo here. It’s about a story I worked on for Guideposts magazine. See all those cross- outs and rewrites? That’s just the first of five pages of edit after edit from Guideposts editor- in-chief Edward Grinnan.
I remember the horrible day it happened like it was yesterday. I admit that I wept some tears over it. I considered giving up writing for a career. Eventually, though, I faced the music. I talked to Edward and asked him to explain the edits in detail so I could do better next time. The whole situation was rough. But, looking back now, it was a great learning experience.

While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an incredible(难以置信的) sight. The 36 was swimming and started with only three men. For one reason or another, two of them had a 37start, so they were disqualified. That would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to 38 against.
I watched the man 39 off the blocks and knew immediately that something was wrong. Now I’m not an expert 40 but I do know a good dive 41 a poor one, and this was not exactly medal 42 . I listened to the crowd begin to43this poor man that was clearly having a 44 time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was 45 he made a few desperate(拼命的) stroke(划水) and you could tell he was exhausted.
But in those few 46strokes, the crowd had changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to 47 . Some even began to 48things like, “Come on, you can do it!” and he 49 finished his race. The crowd went 50 . Even though he recorded one of the 51 times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other 52 .
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals, feeling they have 53been cheated out of gold, or when they act so 54 in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog(败者), a man that gave his all --- knowing that he had no chance, but competed because of his 55 and the spirit of the games.
