People don’t believe in themselves. They get this great idea, and then think that people are going to put them down because of this idea. I personally think it’s wrong that people don’t have faith in themselves. When I was younger, all my ideas were destroyed by my older brother. He wanted to show that he was the greater one, the one with the better imagination, the one with bigger dreams. One of my dreams, and it is still my dream today, is to become an actor. When I told my brother this with pride, he automatically said I would not be able to. But it wasn’t only my brother who put me down. When I was in elementary school, I wanted to be top of the class. I studied hard and long with the help of my father, but a classmate always tried to make me give up. He didn’t want me to be better and smarter than him. Eventually I became the smartest in the class, completing my dream. Most people give up after so many fails. That is not good, if you are determined to do something good, do it no matter what. People should be able to give up so easily because of a few fails. Believing in yourself is all about being sure that you can do anything, even if people are against you. Usually, when you decide to take a big challenge or to do something that people failed to do you will find that everyone is putting you down. This should give you motivation to complete the task. But this will never happen if you let others, or yourself, put you down.
