28、 of us should ask ourselves. Strangely, most of us are better givers than receivers.

We often feel a little uneasy when receiving,
29、 although it is not very noticeable. Even praise gets deflected（转向）when it comes our way. When someone praises us for helping him move or clean up the house, we will possibly say, “Ah, it was nothing.” When someone praises the coat we are wearing, we may mention how we bought it at a discount instea
