Go your own way
　　
　　It is one of my favorite things to spend some spare time to enjoy the American story of Growing Pains（《成长的烦恼》）. It is the most humorous TV play for us that I've ever watched. I really like it. It also brings me some deep thoughts on life.
　　
　　A section story of the book tells us a funny but instructive thing: Card, a girl-student of fifteen, was often made fun with her naughty elder brother Mike. He kept saying that she was an ugly girl. How could a girl bear such cruel things at all? Therefore, she made a bold decision to have her face beautified by operation! One day, accompanied by Mike, Card went to the hospital for her operation. At the critical moment, her parents rushed into the waiting room trying to stop her from doing silly things. To their great surprise, she herself had already changed her mind. Why? Because just now Mike told her that she did look pretty. It was only a joke when he had said that she was ugly!
　　
　　My God! Just see how one's words would have effects on others' deeds!
　　
　　Surely, we live in a world of love and beauty, and we'd like to be appreciated by all other people. But we should realize that everyone has his own opinion of beauty and standards. So there is no need to satisfy everybody. So, whether we are good or not in others' eyes, it isn't so important to change our determination. Only by keeping self-confident. Confidence in ourselves will offer us enough power to overcome any difficulty.
　　
　　In daily life, we are sometimes influenced by others' words. But I can't understand why some people always feel obliged to shape themselves to others' opinions. Why not live relaxed lives? As long as you behave naturally and frankly, not pretending to do anything.
　　
　　I always believe in such a saying：“Go straight your own way without caring what others say behind!”
