l Reflection:
In our lives, we often rely on other people’s help. We do not think or try what we can do on our own first. Sometimes we even do not believe that we can accomplish things by ourselves. We may act like a coward and be too afraid to do or to decide what to do. However, we cannot always just sit and wait for help. We need to find our advantages or use our strength to solve problems and difficulties. We need to make every effort to conquer them. Just like the missing piece at the end of the story. What’s more, we should learn experiences from failures. Also, we should be courageous when getting through the challenges. Being independent is also one of the important things that we must learn. Last but not least, we should remind ourselves that do not devalue our abilities. Always be confident when dealing with challenges.
