Of all the things that have effects on your future, I believe that personal growth is the greatest. Many people talk about sales growth, profit growth, and possession growth, but none of these will happen without personal growth. In fact I’d like to have you memorize a most important sentence. It is “The key to your future is you yourself.”
There are many things that will help you better your future. If you belong to a strong, dynamic（充满活力的）and progressive company, that will help. Good training will help. Strong leadership will help. If the neighbors stay civil（文明的）, that will help. If your relatives don’t trouble you, that will help…All these things will help. We can go on and on with the list; but remember, the things that I’ve covered above just play minor（次要的）roles in helping you reach a good future. The major cause doesn’t lie outside. It lies inside.
Strangely enough, when two different men work in the same company, the first person may earn $1,000 a month, while the second may earn $10,000 a month. What causes the difference when they have the same job, use the same tools, and get the same training?
The cause of the difference lies in believing, in trying, in accepting failures, in thinking, in a smile at people around, and in the ways of dealing with problems. All of these can be major causes of your good future. You can see all these come from inside. In fact, the real difference is you yourself. You are the key to your future. Teens are the most wonderful and important period in life. If you want a great future, begin to improve yourself from now on!

Like most of my schoolmates, I have either brothers nor sisters; in another words, I am an only child. My parents love me dearly of course and will do all they can make sure that I get a good education. They did not want me to do any work at family；they want me to devote all my time to my studies so that I'll get good marks in all my subjects. We may be one family and live under a same roof, but we do not seem to get much time to talk about together. It looks as if my parents treat her as a visitor and a guest. Do they really understand their own daughter? What things are in other homes，I wonder.
