In 1983, a talented young guitarist Dave was kicked out of his band. Although he was very unhappy, he still managed to start a new band which was the legendary(传奇的) heavy-metal band, Megadeth. Later, Dave was regarded as one of the most influential musicians in the history of heavy-metal music. Unfortunately, the band he was kicked out of was Metallica,which was considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time. And because of this, even with all that he had achieved, Dave couldn't help but still consider himself the guy who got kicked out of Metallica.
Let's look at another story. Pete was asked to leave by the other three members of the Beatles. Within six months of Pete's firing, the Beatles had become the most famous band on the whole planet. Pete understandably fell into a deep sadness. But Pete in many ways ended

Long long ago, there was a lovely girl, Cinderella. She had a stepmother who was him to meeting his wife, then having their loving children.

He grew into a happy and healthy old man, with an easy life and great family—things that the four Beatles would spend years' effort to achieve.
This is what“self-improvement”is really about: choosing better values, choosing better things to care about—things that matter, things that improve the state of our well-being and that bring happiness, pleasure, and success as side effects. Because when you give better changes, you get better problems. And when you get better problems, you get a better life.
