Love Yourself

Good afternoon, everyone! I’m very glad to stand here to share my view with you. You may feel my topic, “Love Yourself” is strange. I’m sure we all be taught that we should learn to help others, do some contributions for society and so on. But almost no one told us to love ourselves. In my view, knowing how to love ourselves is very important in our lives. Everyone is unique to the world. Everyone is worth to be loved, especially by himself.

I should to define what “Love Yourself” is first. Loving yourself doesn’t mean that you can only love yourself regardless of the feeling of other people. It calls selfishness instead of self-love. But when it comes to another extreme, it is also unpleasant. When you live for others instead of yourself, your life will be meaningless and incomplete. And the right way to love yourself is do what you want to do that you can pay for it. Besides, you should not interfere with other people. For example, you can go somewhere you dream of for a trip when you have enough money and time. And you should choose a job that you really enjoy rather than a job your parents want you to do. Or just eat a great meal sometimes and buy a dress you love for yourself. All of these is performance of loving yourself. Don’t think too much. It will make your life very hard if you care about others’ comments too much.

Take my own experience for an example. When I was a child, my mother asked me to learn to dance. But I know I was not born to dance. It is very hard and painful for me. My mother told me to stick to it, so I learned it for half a year. But I still hated it. Finally, at my insistence, I dropped it. Instead, I learn to play the piano that I like.

Love yourself, know what you want to do and do it bravely. We should live for ourselves. Let’s enjoy our own youth and do what we really want to do. Remember, you can love yourself better.
