When I was about twelve years old, a girl in my class liked to point out my disadvantages.

My disadvantages: I was very thin; I wasn't good at math; I talked too much; I was too proud and so on. At last. I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and asked. "Are those things true or not? Jane. didn't you ever think about what you're really like?" Then he added, "Well, you have that girl's opinions. Make a list of everything she said and mark（做标记）the true points."

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found out that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change, like being very thin, but many I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy, and he said, "Now you know better about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of great help to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do."

Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life. I've never had a better piece of advice.

I am Turere. I come from Kitengela, a farming community on the edge (边缘) of Nairobi National Park of Kenya (肯尼亚). Since the age of nine, I have helped to look after my family’s cows. As a child, in my free time, I enjoyed playing with electronics. I made my own inventions, such as electronics toys from car parts and other things. I also built other electronic devices (仪器) for my neighbors.

At the age of 13, I invented something that changed my life. It also changed the lives of many people in my community. One night, a lion from the park came into my family’s farm and killed one of our cows. I was angry. However, killing the lion, I thought, was not the best way to solve the problem. Instead, I decided to invent a solution.

And a second idea I got was to use a scarecrow (稻草人). I was trying to trick the lions into thinking that I was standing near the cowshed. But lions are very clever. They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they'll come and they say, this thing is not moving here, it is always here! So he jumps in and kills the animal.

So one night, I was walking around the cowshed with a torch (手电筒), and that day the lions didn’t come. And I discovered that lions were afraid of a moving light. So I had an idea ...
