At my primary school,I was one of the smartest kids there.I never studied,but always got perfect scores.I thought I was born clever.At least I believed so.I was also a prodigy in music according to myself.I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school.I was pretty sure that once I got to sixth grade,everyone would be surprised by me.
But actually,they weren’t.
When I arrived at my new class,I couldn’t wait to show everyone what I could do.However,there was always someone else who could do better.My grades began to suffer.More talented(有天资的) girls often sang solo(独唱).I believed I wasn’t smart.I believed I wasn’t talented.I believed I was a failure.
Over the next two years,I had to work very hard.Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and effort.Grades were still very low but improving little by little.I worked really hard.However,I was never the best at everything.
I haven’t realized until recently that I really don’t have to be the best at everything.I was too hard on myself.In fact,when I did badly in a test,my classmates never laughed at me.
No one is perfect.There will probably always be someone better than me at something.Anyway,there are about seven billion people in this world.I will never be the number one at everything,and that’s really okay.

When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small twigs（嫩枝）one day. Her school gave these twigs to the students to plant. None of them looked very hardy, but with hope for the future, I planted them in our backyard. Over the years, because of an accident with the lawnmower（割草机）and poor soil, three of them died. Only one survived. It grew crooked（弯弯曲曲的）and very slowly. It never got very tall. In the end, it looked more like a fat bush than a tree. A few years ago, I noticed that it was starting to die. The lower branches were becoming bare（秃的）.Only the top third of the tree was still green. Last summer I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer（肥料), but it didn’t work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I was wondering whether it would be better to just cut it down. It would make mowing the lawn easier. As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves. It was a robin（知更鸟）patiently building a nest in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home. This tree made me know that all of our lives have purpose. It doesn’t matter if we are young and strong of old and sickly. Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share.
