When I was walking down the street one day, I found a small bag on the ground. I picked it up and opened it to see if I could find out the owner’s name. There was nothing inside it except some dollars and an old photo--- a picture of a woman and a young girl about twelve years old. I put the photo back and took the bag to the police station. Before I left, the policeman wrote down my name and address. He thought the owner might want to thank me.

That evening I went to have dinner with my aunt and uncle. They had also asked a young woman to have dinner with us. Her face was familiar, but I couldn’t remember where I had seen her. During our talk, the young woman happened to say that she had lost her bag that afternoon. All at once I remembered where I had seen her. She was the young girl in the photo, though she was now much older. She was very surprised, of course, when I told her about the bag.

Knowing about yourself means not only that you find out what you're good at and what you like, it also means discovering what you're not good at and what you don't like. They both help you to see your aims(目标) in life.

Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed a very difficult physics course,they have in fact learned a lot about themselves. They know that they should not become engineers or physical scientists. So failing can help a student to live a much happier life if he or she draws something out of the failing. They may then decide on their aims and choose the kind of work they would be fit for and they would like to do.

It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the piano,you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you are really interested in it or you are able to do it well.

It is not enough to want to be a great pianist. You also have to like the hard practice and long training before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great pianist but hate the work, forget it.

It's a good plan to try as many ideas as possible when you are still young. And then you will be able to find out what your true interests are.
