Send me a worry, and I’ll send you a quote for free! If you like the quote, please let me know.
Drummer Boy
I got a drum kit(套装）for my 16th birthday. There’s a cool band at school. Their drummer, Lucas, is leaving as his family is moving. The band asked if I’d try out, and Lucas will teach me. But I’m not sure if I’m good enough. I don’t want to get my hopes up and be upset if I don’t make it.
Tim 7:20 p. m. |2nd May
Here’s a quote from Mahatma Gandhi: “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be.” If you keep saying you can’t do something, you might end up unable to do it. But if you believe you can, you’ll get the ability, even if you don’t have it at first.
Shall I Stay or Go?
I’m in a difficult situation. My aunt and uncle in the US invited me to stay with them for a month. It sounds great, but they live in a small town and have no kids. I’m worried there won’t be anyone my age to hang out with. I’m afraid I’ll regret whatever I decide. Help!
Alice 9:10 p. m. |3rd May
Winston Churchill said, “A pessimist(悲观主义者）sees the difficulty in every chance; an optimist(乐观主义者）sees the chance in every difficulty.” Even if there are problems, there are great things you can do there that you can’t do at home. So, go and remember the rainbow!
