Question

Do you believe in yourself? When you are in trouble, don’t say you can’t get over it. Believe in your dreams. Believe that you are loved. Believe that you make a difference. I was told a story about a teacher who once did what he could       his students get to know the importance of believing in themselves.

  The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know how      you have worked to prepare for this test,” he said. “And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a B to those who       not to take the test.”

Many students thanked the teacher and left. The teacher looked at the students left and said, “Does anyone else want to get a ‘B’? This is your last      .” Two more students decided to go.

Only seven students were still in the classroom. The teacher then       the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just      an ‘A’ in this class. Keep believing in yourselves.

I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could give. Students who are not confident in what they have learned are ‘B’ students       .对他们已经所学的东西不是自信的学生最多是B类学生。

The same is      in our daily life. The ‘A’ students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have       both successes and failures. They have got life’s       , not only from normal education, but from events in their lives, and have become better people. You see, one should always believe in himself.
