(1)We are living in a world full of competition. Our parents compete with others in their offices, our brothers and sisters compete with others in their colleges, and we compete with our classmates in schools. Most of us give up in face of competition and will never be successful. Why can’t we do better than others? One important reason is that we have no self-confidence.
(2)事实上，人人生而平等。 You can do what others do. Your classmates may be better than you in some ways, (3) you may be better than them in other subjects. So everyone has his or her advantages. Don’t look at things from a single point of view. Try to discover your own advantages, and believe that you can do better than others in those ways.
Competition is not so terrible. Don’t be afraid of it. And don’t be afraid of those classmates who are better than you.(4) Remember that self-confidence is the first step to success. Believe in yourselves, and you will be successful in any competition.
