My belief
One man in his whole life will meet countless challenges, and all of these challenges could give the man his own experiences and these experiences or feelings will build the own belief of this person. For me, I believe that to be optimistic is the key to having a better life. I will use my own stories to show you how this become my own belief.
This story is about the TOEFL test. You know it’s one of the best and biggest language exam in the whole world. So in China if you want to go abroad, especially America, and get better education, you will need to take this exam. In this case, I started to study the TOEFL when I was in high school. At first I thought it would be very easy since my English grades are always good in school. However I found that I was wrong in a complete mess. Because we just need to recite words, sentences and grammar like a machine and do not have to care a little about how to speaking, listening or how to communicate. So I could barely understand even one word in my first TOEFL listening class. Thus, when I saw how difficult this, I felt very uncomfortable. I know this is weird, but there are too many things that related of this, you could not believe how much stress I have. Leaving high school, that is kind of unimaginable in China, especially in a normal city where I lived. If I failed the TOEFL and could not go to America, I have to back the high school 3rd year again if I still want to go to university. My whole life will get influences. Also lots of my friends and relatives doubt of my decision to go aboard. They just did not believe that I can go aboard for my college life. They will ask about me when they meet my parents. So they put more pressure on me. These things can not let me give up. In that way, I become confused, I find I can not stop thinking about what would happen if I failed …show more content…
Then I took 2 days to stay in my home to do some relaxing and thinking. Why did I put so much pressure on myself? That is the first question. Because of my parents? my family? No, my life is my own life, everyone could failed, but the most important thing is that can I stand up again and continue with my life. And even if the worst thing truly happen, my family will also support and encourage me, just like they always did. So why did I failing so much? Why I did not trust my family? Furthermore, failing the TOEFL test means failing everything? Of course not, when God closes one door, he always opens window. The most significant thing is not success, but it is the experience. That makes one man’s life, and makes you grow up. The way of success is to find the right way in those ways that you could probably lose all of them. So just do it, and always stay happy. After that night, I turned my attitude, and started to be optimistic when facing challenges. I have to say to be optimistic is wonderful, and in the end I success passed the exam. I do not want to say that is all about attitude, but I want to say that after that time, I built a belief in myself that I could probably use for my whole
