From my point of view, with praise from others, we will overcome any obstacles on the way to success.

Few months ago, I was depressed because of my failure in a series of tests. Therefore, absorbed in my negative mood, I didn’t pay much attention to study. My teacher found my abnormal behavior and had a talk with me. I had thought he would criticize me, but he didn’t. He just said, “You are such a clever and hardworking boy. I believe you won’t let people around you down.” It was his praise that inspired me with confidence and made me realized that I shouldn’t give up. From then on, I studied harder than before and got good marks at length.

Praise is the best virtue. Only with praise can we have the confidence to defeat problems and move forward.
