We should have ________ in ourselves We will make it if we try our best.
A. success              B. confidence               C. progress

One of the best things we can do in our lives is this：

Begin again

Begin to see yourself as you were

When you were the happiest and strongest

You’d ever been

Begin to remember what worked for you

（and what worked against you）

And try to make things work again

Remember how natural it was when you were a child——

To live a lifetime each day

Begin to forget about the troubles you have carried with you for years：

The problems that don’t matter any more

The tears that cried themselves away

And the worries that we are going to wash away

On the shore of tomorrow’s new beginnings

Tomorrow tells us it will be here every new day of our lives

And if we are wise

We will turn away from the problem of the past

And give the future——and ourselves——a chance

For a long time being happy was considered natural，and there was nothing special to do about it. Now we know that we can work at getting along well with other people. It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better.
One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything your own way or asking for the best share of everything, including the attention of your friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bad ones in other people.
You don’t have to be spineless(無(wú)骨氣的)in order to be popular. In fact，you will be liked and respected(尊重)if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights(權(quán)利). But do it politely and pleasantly. One way to develop a good character is being friendly and polite to your own group,  to older people，to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you.
You cannot expect to be perfect,  so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged(泄氣的) when they know their unpleasant qualities—selfishness，laziness，etc. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.
When sometMng is wrong，it is best to try to make it right. Perhaps you don’t like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why，and look at yourself，too. Make sure that you are not doing something to make others dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right, then you simply have to learn to get along the best you can with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can’t change.
