　　Depend on Yourself

　　“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to everyone. Parents， teachers and others can all help us， but they only help us to help ourselves and make men of us.

　　There have been many great men in history. Though many of them were very poor in their childhood with no one to depend on for an education， they set to work with all their determination to gain knowledge. Finally they worked their own way up to fame.

What they have in common， in spite of the differences in their fields， is their determination to succeed in their careers and the spirit to depend on their own honest and earnest efforts. In fact， no one will achieve anything unless he depends on himself.
