   Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “ When anything happens, believe in yourself.”

        When I was a young boy. I was so shy to talk to anyone that my classmates   35   laughed at me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later,   36   happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest(比赛). My   37   asked me to take part in it. What a   38   idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school.

     “    39    , boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win the contest.” Then Mother and I talked about many different topics.    40   , I chose the topic “Believe in yourself”. I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it   41   100 times. With the help of my mother, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe myself when the    42   came that I had won the first place; I heard the cheers from the teachers and the students. Those classmates who once looked down on me, now all    43   “ Congratulations!” to me. My mother hugged(拥抱) me and cried excitedly.

Since then, everything has changed for me.    44   I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will find myself. This is not only for a person but also for a country.
