■ Message

Never give up, always do your best and have faith in yourself. At your own pace, try to build up a track record of success and keep them tucked away in your heart. When you are faced with adversity, try to recall your successes and remember how you overcame troubles in the past. If you want to become a successful person, you absolutely need to be multitalented, able to multi task and able to work well in groups. Be ambitious, have pride and dignity, work hard and never fall into the habit of giving up.
