When you get up in the morning, do you find it hard to choose what clothes to wear?

If so, you probably need help making the bigger choices（选择） in your life, like what to do when you’re older.

“Brave New Girls”, written by an American writer Jeannette Gad berg, will help you make such choices. To make them, it says, you must be a “brave new girl”. A brave new girl is one who’s confident（自信的）, healthy and happy. A brave new girl can realize（实现） her dreams.

To be brave, you need to make decisions by yourself. Other people may tell you what to do, but you should not listen to them. You should only do what you want.

If you always wear clothes like those of your favorite TV stars, for example, you should stop doing this. Instead, you should become your own star and wear the clothes you like.

The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident. If you’re confident, you’ll succeed in life. A good way to become confident is to realize that you’re as clever as boys. Just look at their grades!

Today’s brave new girls will become tomorrow’s brave new women. Only in this way can you achieve your dreams and become who you want to be.
