A
Always believe in yourself no matter what happens to you and love the person that you are. These are laws of life that are useful to everyone. I think that before people can live happy lives, they must believe in and accept themselves.
The hardest thing for you is to look in the mirror and like what you see, and then be thankful. And believe you can finish anything you try to do. To live a comfortable life, you must start with believing in yourself.
I have struggled (抗争) with believing in myself so many times in my life. Struggling with little tasks such as completing homework or memorising a piece on the piano, I would get so upset. But you never realize how much easier your life will become until you say, "I can do this!"
Four or five years ago, I began taking piano lessons. One day, recital (演奏会) time was coming near, but I had a piece that I couldn't completely memorise. Coming home with a feeling of sadness, I just considered I could not achieve this task. I sat at my piano and told myself that I would never get it finished. But on second thought, I could memorise it. So, I tried my best to play and play. Finally, I did end up finishing the piece, and the recital was able to go smoothly. The important point is that looking back on this time in my life, I can see how important it is to believe that I can complete anything I want to do if I try my best.
Now, when I become upset with a piano piece, I never give up and think that I cannot do it. Always full of confidence, I sit down and tell myself that I can achieve my goal if I put my heart into it. I realize that I should have this mind in everything I do.
So, dear friend, never give up, and believe that you can complete anything if you set your mind and heart on it.
