Teaching Reflection　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　



Know myself
In the world, there is no other person who is like me, even if there are people who have some parts that are like mine. In other words, everything that comes out of me is really mine because I alone choose it.
I own everything about me. I own my body, my mind, my eyes, my voice, all my actions, my mouth and all the words that come out of it. I have my dreams, my hopes, and my fears. I have all my happiness, and all my troubles.
Because I have all of me, I can get to know myself well. By doing so, I can love me and be nice to me and all my parts. I can then make it possible for all of me to work for my best interests.
I know there are things about myself that get me into trouble and other things that I do not know, but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can look for the keys to the problems and for ways to find out more about myself with hope.
了解自己
在这个世界上,尽管我和某些人可能会有一些相似之处,但是没有一个人能和我完全相同。换言之,我的一切都真实地属于我,因为那是我个人的选择。
我拥有自己的一切:我的身体,我的思想,我的眼睛,我的声音,我所有的行为,我的嘴巴和我说出的每一个字。我拥有我的梦想、希望和恐惧。我也拥有我的所有快乐和麻烦。
因为我拥有自己的全部,所以我能够很好地了解自己。这样,我就能爱惜自己、善待自己和我的一切。那么,就可以使我自己全身心地投入到我最好的兴趣之中。
我知道,我的一些方面让我陷入困境,使我难弄懂,但是只要我善待自己、欣赏自己,我就有希望解决问题并进一步认识自我。
