Many of my classmates in the ballet class are quite talented. Like Ally, she learns fast and she can handle new maneuvers without much difficulties. For me, somehow I am quite a slow learner. I always need to practice very hard for every single movement and taking much longer time than the others to learn it.
People might think I should feel upset, but in fact I don't. Somehow I show my improvement by practicing harder than the others. Well, it is true that I need to put more effort than the rest of the class but at the end of day I am still able to make it. That's my way.
And I am happy. Because I know day by day I am getting better and better.
Descartes once said: "Conquer yourself rather than the world!"
Let's share this wisdom, and always doing things with our best effort to conquer our own selves!
