These things may be very small in our daily life, but it really brings a lot to the society.

“The Challenge makes everyone b5. in the miracle(奇迹) of good actions again.” wrote a man on Sina Weibo. As the old Chinese saying goes, "Don't f6. to do something good even if it's small; do not engage in evil even if it's small (勿以善小而不为，勿以恶小而为之).” Why don't we all set smaller goals"?

Growing up is hard for everyone. We all face lots of stress as teenagers. Now imagine facing all of that stress while being in the spotlight(聚光灯).

That's what Canadian singer Justin Bieber had to deal with as he grew up. He was first discovered by a music producer when he was just 13 years old. He became a superstar across the world after just a few years, selling millions of albums and touring the world. But at the time of his success, he also struggled (挣扎) with mental (精神上的) illness and drug abuse (药物滥用).

However, it seems that he has put these troubles behind him. Bieber recently wrote a post (帖子) on Instagram, admitting(承认) that growing up in the spotlight was quite challenging(有挑战的).

"I went from a 13-year-old boy from a small town to being praised left and right by the world... I made every bad decision you could have thought of and went from one of the most loved people… to the most hated person in the world, "he wrote. He credited (把…归功于) his wife, Hailey Baldwin, with helping him turn his life around.

Bieber is not the only one who has struggled with becoming famous at a young age, Actors Edward Furlong and Macaulay Culkin saw their lives take a downward (向下的) turn after they achieved success in Hollywood during their childhoods.

Why did they experience this? "Childhood is about finding out who you are and being able to relate to (与……相处) others, and those things are harder to learn when you're famous. That amount of public scrutiny (监视) makes it hard for kids to do that, ” psychologist (心理学家) Eileen Kennedy- Moore told USA Today.
