In America, there is a man of noble character, Peter, who often teaches others by his own actions. One day, Peter was walking leisurely on the road. "Whining," a beggar in front of him was crying loudly. When Peter saw the pain, he asked the beggar, "Why are you crying here?"" "My parents died and I was left alone.". The day before yesterday, a few robbers robbed me and drove me out of the house. I'm homeless, so I have to ask for some food on the side so that I can survive......" The beggar said as he wept. The 1 stray dogs asleep on the side of the road woke them up, and the dog was barking at Peter and biting Peter's trousers. At this time, Peter took out a mirror from his pocket and placed in front of the dog, and the dog barking in the mirror, but crying, the dog's voice is more and more small, the tail between legs. Look at this scene begging people, seem to understand what, repeatedly expressed gratitude to Peter, jubilant went to the distant. Peter smiled, up mirror, and show an appearance to come swaggeringly too profound to be understood, went to the house. The beggar found a place to make a home and grew flowers to become the richest man in the United states. When reporters asked him, "what's the secret of your success?"" He always said with confidence: "when I was almost desperate, it was a noble man who helped me.". He looked at the dog barking at him in the mirror, and at last the dog was frightened away by himself in the mirror. I didn't beat myself like a dog I was afraid of scaring myself."The only reliable criterion of truth is always to be consistent. Inspirational reading two: Have the courage to overcome yourself As the saying goes: "ruler has the director, inch is short.". We should not only bravely deal with our own shortcomings, but also recognize our strengths and improve ourselves. Our strong point is that you have the courage to overcome yourself. One day, the teacher said to us happily: "the national painting competition, I expect the students to sign up for it."". I look around, the students sit quietly in the classroom in perfect silence. No one can lift his hand bravely, and no one encourages himself to participate in the competition. I think: life can have a few back stroke, now or never. Think again, this time there is no courage, afraid of difficulties, and next time there is no courage, the opportunity is not so quietly slipped away? No, I want to overcome the lack of confidence in themselves, seize the opportunity of the game. Thinking of it, I raised my hand without hesitation and entered for the competition. At home, I carefully prepared the tools for painting and packed up all the colours. All things have, only owe the East wind. On the day of the race, I was all confident and headed for the examination room, but before the game, my heart was pounding. The match finally began with my anxious anticipation. The theme of my painting is to welcome the Beijing Olympic Games, drawing has "confidence". But it was because of the tension that I had a cold sweat in my palms. I couldn't do it a few times before. After that, I adjusted my mind and pumped myself up secretly. Finally I drew the picture. After a while of waiting, the result of the competition came out, and I won the three prize. At the moment of the announcement, I was so excited that my heart was sweeter than eating honey, just because I beat myself again.
