☆ acceptance　容認
============================
As we often find, there is more than one way to use the word of the day. Here are the most common ways:
Acceptance of an offer or proposal means saying yes to it.
“I applied for university and last week received a letter of acceptance.”
Acceptance of an idea means that most people agree that it is true.
“His theory is steadily gaining acceptance.”
Acceptance of a situation (usually a difficult situation) is the attitude that you have when you realize that you cannot change the situation and must get used to it. This is the most common use of the word.
“His calm acceptance of everything that comes his way is very impressive.”
Related to this meaning there is a style of therapy called, “Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.” The core message of this kind of therapy is acceptance of what is out of our personal control, and commitment to action that improves and enriches our life… actually that sounds like a great way to live, rather than a style of therapy!!
