请相信自己
When I was ten years old，I didn't feel very happy．I liked drawing， but my mother kept on shouting，“If you have time，work hard at your lessons！”I enjoyed playing football，but my grandmother often cried，“Aren't you a girl？Can't you be quiet？”I was fond of fishing，but my teacher frightened me by saying，“You will fall into the river some day．”So it seemed to me that everyone around me thought that I was doing foolish things．
One day my father asked me，“Are you happy？”“No，”I said，“I am foolish and always do wrong things．No one likes me．”“But I am proud of you，”Father said．“You draw well，you play football and fish well，don't you？”“Yes．”Then I said sadly，“But I can't get the highest marks！”“Never mind．Cheer up and believe in yourself．”
After that talk，I felt I was happy again．I began to enjoy my life．“Believe in yourself．”I said it to myself again and again in my mind．
