Jane was not a confident girl before. She was poor at sports and could not even finish a 400-meter race. She was also afraid to say hello to strangers, ask simple questions and speak aloud in front of others. She used to believe that she would be like this all her life.
But one day her friend Paul's words changed her mind. He advised Jane to change herself. He said, "if you can give it n try, you will have a chance to make a change. But if you never try, your life is only going to get worse." Jane thought," Why not have a try? After all, I had nothing to lose."
The first thing Jane did was to become healthy. She had a strict diet and did exercise every day. After six months, she could finish the 1000-meter race easily. This taught her that she could change herself. A few months later, Jane heard about a speech competition at her university. She signed up for the competition. For the first time, she was able to share her story and speak aloud in front of many people. In the end, she got a big prize.
After the competition, Jane made a to-do list and started changing rapidly. When working on them, she became more and more confident.
