美文晨读
Difficulties arise in the lives of us all. What is most important is dealing with the hard times, coping with the changes, and getting through to the other side where the sun is still shining just for you. It takes a strong person to deal with tough times and difficult choices. But you are a strong person.
生活中困难在所难免。最重要的是要挺过艰难的时刻,积极应对种种变故,冲破黎明前的黑暗,你终会看到只属于自己的灿烂阳光。只有强者才能勇敢直面困难时刻,做出艰难抉择。而你正是这样一位强者。
It takes courage. But you possess the inner courage to see you through. It takes being an active participant in your life. But you are in the driver's seat, and you can determine the direction you want tomorrow to go in. Hang in there, and take care to see that you don't lose sight of the one thing that is constant, beautiful, and true: Everything will be fine, and it will turn out that way because of the special kind of person you are.
要有勇气。你拥有披荆斩棘的勇气。 你必须在这场游戏人生中积极主动,而且你正在驾驭这场游戏,并决定着自己明天前进的方向。坚持再坚持,别让你的视野迷失了那不变的美好真理:一切都会好转的,因为你是如此的与众不同。
So... beginning today and lasting a lifetime through—Hang in there, and don't be afraid to feel like the morning sun is shining just for you.
因此,从今天开始,到生命的终点——坚持住,不必怀疑,朝阳为你而升起。

Generally speaking, I’m a person who have the ability to control myself. Whether at school and at home, I can be aware of the dos and don’ts and always focus on my study, so I am the one of the top students in my class. Besides, whenever I meet with anything or somebody unpleasant, I can calm down and only in this way can I get along good with others.
I think it is determination what is of great importance if you want to improve your self-control. In order control yourself easily and effectively, you are supposed to make some rule to follow. Also you’d better ask others to keep an eye on yourself, which makes the difference in helping you be responsible to what you do.
