We wish that we could be better at sports or more attractive. We wish we had nicer clothes or more money. Everyone likes to feel that he or she is special. , many of us grow up believing that we’re not special at all. We believe we are not good enough just as we are.

Most parents want us to be the best we can be. Very often, they compare (比较)us to . By doing this, they try to encourage us to do better. They well, but the message we often get is that we’re not good enough. We begin to believe that the only way we can be special is being better than someone else, but we are often disappointed(失望). There will always be someone out there who is better than we are at . Plenty of people around may not be as smart as we are, but they are better at sports. Or they may not be as good-looking, but they have more money. It is for us to be better than everyone else all the time.

We all want the things that we believe will make us better people. But very often we don’t realize that we already have us the very things that we want. These things make us others. When we are growing up, sometimes forget to tell us that we are special, that we are good enough. Maybe no one told them when they were growing up. , it’s up to us to remind them from time to time that each of us, in our own way, is special. What we are is enough.

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce(弹跳)back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of .If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don't look down on your by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.

Don't let other people set for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be .

Don't love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only you've been, but also where you are going.

Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.

Don't use time or words .You can't get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that's why we call it "the present". Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
