3 In ones life one spends the most time being with oneself. But one has the least understanding of oneself. When you are successful,you may be very proud. When you fail,you may lose heart. If you don't get a thorough understanding of yourself, you may miss many chances in life. To get a thorough understanding of yourself is to know well about yourself. You may realize your strong points and weak ones. You may hope for a wonderful future,but be sure not to expect too much because not all dreams can come true. You may be confident enough to meet challenges,but first you should know what to do. To get a thorough understanding of yourself needs self-appreciation. Maybe you think you are a tall tree or just small grass,but you can always have your own way of being there. As soon as you get full confidence in yourself,you are sure to face any trouble. To get a thorough understanding of yourself also means to take care of yourself. When you are angry.find a quiet place so that you won't be hurt. When you are sad,tell your friends about it to change the mood into a good one. When you are tired,get a good sleep. If you don't know when and how you should look after yourself,you won't be able to stay away from illness. No one can tell what will happen in the future. Get a thorough understanding of yourself,and you will get a full control of yourself and find your life full of color.
