①Life is not easy， so I’d like to say “When anything happens， believe in yourself.”

②When I was a young boy， I was so shy to talk to anyone that my classmates often laughed at me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later， something happened， and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea！ It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school.

“Come on， boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win the contest. ” Then Mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic “Believe in yourself”. I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 times. With the help of my mother， I did well in the contest.③I could hardly believe myself when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and the students. ④Those classmates who once looked down on me， now all said “Congratulations！” to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

Since then， everything has changed for me. When I do anything， I try to tell myself to be sure and I will find myself. This is not only for a person but also for a country.
