Firstly, just as an old saying goes:“A man cannot lift himself”, which means the most difficult task for a man is to understand and conquer himself. Only by understanding yourself can you treat others well or conquer your enemies. Otherwise, you may be misunderstood even when you’re well-meant. Alternatively, you may be conquered even when you’re in an enormously advantageous position. There are many approaches to be self-conscious according to most successful men. On the one hand, we must keep self-questioning ourselves, as self-reflection is a reminder which will tell us what is right and what is wrong with our life and work. On the other hand, listening both modestly and critically to others’ comments on us can also help us to know who we are because we may be misled by some of this comments if we follow them blindly. What’s more, it’s crucial for us to get across that success doesn’t mean the absence of failures; it means the attainment of ultimate objectives. Many people are afraid to undertake the trail because they’re too frightened of failures. They make the mistake of

believing that failures are wrong and awful, while most of them can turn out to be necessary and helpful. On the other hand, many others think that failures provide feedback that points the way to success. Failure can even push people to put together a new and better trail, leading though yet more trail and error until they can ultimately find a viable and creative solution. To meet with failure bravely may help to take one more step on the path to find success. No failure means no success.

Last but not least, be confident no matter how bad the situation is for we’re young and we have ample time to fix the problem.
