We are in a world full of competition.Our parents compete(竞争)with others in their offices,our brothers and sisters compete with others in their colleges,and we compete with our classmates in school.①Many of us give up in the face of competition. Why can’t we do better than others? One important reason is that we have no self confidence.

In fact,everyone is born equal.You can do what others do.Although your classmates may be better than you in some ways,you may be better than them in other ways. So everyone has his or her own advantages.Don't look at things from a single point of view.Try to discover your own advantages,and believe that you can do better than others in those ways.
