英语美文：Believe in yourself

It's so sad to see so many young people give up on the life they want to live, just because they're scared of failure. Most people fear failure so much that they don't even try. Therefore, they fail, just by default. 
有很多年轻人，因为害怕失败，就放弃了自己想要的生活。这种现象，令人感到难过。很多人非常害怕失败，结果就是他们连尝试都不敢。因此，他们失败，仅仅是因为他们一开始就放弃了。

Achieving incredible grades will never be easy, but the only way you can guarantee to get poor grades is to not even try in the first place. Don't fear putting yourself out there. There's too much pressure to fit in. Fit in with friends. Fit in with society. Too afraid to dream about what you are capable of and going out there and grabbing life by the horns. 
要想得到优秀的成绩，这并不容易。但是，如果你连尝试都不敢，那么你肯定会得到糟糕的成绩。不要害怕去面对一切。确实，压力有很多，你可能觉得难以适应。融入朋友的圈子，压力很大。融入社会，压力很大。你感到害怕，不敢想象自己能做到什么，不敢勇敢面对生活、把握生活。

Believe in yourself. If you can dream it, then you can be it. If you believe it, then you can achieve it. And it might not happen straight away. It might take you longer than you expect. 
相信自己。一件事，如果你想做，你就能做到。如果你相信它能成真，那么你就能让它成真。这不会马上发生，它需要时间，这时间可能比你想象的要长。
