What does “self-control” mean? Suppose you have a ticket for an exciting film which you want to see very much, but unluckily you have to study an exam tomorrow. What will you do? See the film study for the exam? If you can give up seeing the film and work hard at your , it means that you have self-control. Self-control is not something that you have at birth. It needs to be cultivated in your life.
Often, young children are easily when their needs or wishes are not met at once. Almost daily, children see a lot of food, toys and activities that are attractive to them. Many time children do not know how to their frustration（挫折） when they are told “no” or “later”. Also, sometimes young children do not understand they are not allowed to do anything. In order to have positive experiences at home and at school, children need to learn to properly deal with their feelings when they cannot have something. These skills will increase children’s self- control.

Crabs(螃蟹) are very interesting creatures. If you put several of them in a bucket, the moment one of them starts crawling out, the other crabs will pull him back down. So none of the crabs ever in getting out. They just keep stopping each other from climbing higher than the rest of them. We humans are more like crabs than we think. We try to get even with our enemies, and ahead of our . But we have to realize that "when we're green with envy(嫉妒 ) , we're also ripe for problems".
Whether we admit it or not, most of us want other people to be just a little less successful than we are. Friends are always about your success, as long as you're not more successful than they are ! But one of the first secrets to success is not to compare your life with others. It's strange that many of us seem to know to live everybody else's lives but our own. Even though what happens in someone else's life has to do with ours.
Successful people look at life through a telescope and see how great it can be, jealous people look at life through a microscope and only see the faults and mistakes of others. Being jealous of others is just a slow way of suicide (自杀) that will both your health and happiness.
You have a special and personality that no one else has. So use yours the best way possible. Stop comparing yourself with others. Birds don't . Pigs don't climb trees. And crabs don't fly. Enjoy your own natural abilities and develop your own style.

I'm your dog, and I have something I'd like to whisper in your I know that you humans busy lives. Some have to work, and some have children to raise. It always seems like you are running here and there, often much too fast, noticing the truly important things in life. Look down at me now, while you sit there at your computer. See the way my dark brown eyes look at yours? They are slightly cloudy now. That comes with ages.
You at me. I see love in your eyes. What do you see in ? Do you see a spirit7 A soul inside, who loves you as no other could in the world. That is all I ask, to slow down, even if for a few minutes to be me. Sometimes we die young suddenly. Sometimes we age so slowly before your eyes that you may not even seem to know the very end. Still the love is always there, even when we must take that long sleep.
I not be here tomorrow or next week. Some day you will cry and be at yourself that you did not have just "one more day" with me. We have NOW, together. So come, sit down here next to me on the floor, and look deep into my eyes. Enter my world , and let time slow down if only for 15 . Speak with your heart , and you will know your true self.
