Sometimes people come into your life and you know that they are there to teach you a lesson,or to help you understand who you are or who you want to become.

You never know these people who may be a classmate,a neighbour or a friend—but when you lock your eyes on them,you know at that very moment they will influence your life in some ways.

Sometimes things that happen to you may seem unpleasant,painful,orfrustratingatfirst. But in another way,you find that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your ability,strength or will power (意志力) .

The people you meet and the success you get help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact,they are sometimes the most important ones.

If someone loves you,give love back to them in the way you can,not only because they love you,but because in a way,they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

If someone hurts you,or breaks your heart,forgive (原諒) them,for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being carefui of people around.

Self-confidence is necessary to a person. If you’re not confident,it will be hard for others to believe in you.
