C

    When we say a person blows his own trumpet(喇叭),we mean he tells other people how good and successful he is.That is usually an act of arrogance(自大).But teachers at Wimbledon High School once asked their students to blow their own trumpet.

    “Some students are under too much pressure and they find it difficult to accept that they have been successful.”said Ms. Hanbury, head of this famous all -girls school in London.“They push themselves hard and might never be happy.”That's why the “Blow Your Own Trumpet Week” was held in the school.

    In the“Blow Your Own Trumpet Week”,the teachers asked their students to share their stories of success and failure(失败).They also asked them to tell how well they did in each subject.In this way, the school wanted to help students to know they were all good at something and that they didn't have to be good at everything.

    Before that, the school ran a“Failure Week”to help students deal with setbacks(应对挫折).The students learned how to get better from setbacks quickly, so they wouldn't think it was the end of the world if they didn't do well in an exam.

“Life's a long, long journey(旅程)” so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some idea of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life's journey with no sense of direction at all.
Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.
Try to set goals in some of the following categories.

Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high-school? Are you still growing and learning?
Family—What kind of relationship(关系)do you want with your parents and other family members?
Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?
Career—What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?
Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place?
Physical—Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do?
Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself?

   Write down the goals and think about them carefully. Are they realistic? When will you be able to achieve them?
   To help make the process (过程) more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.
   Remember, your goals can change as time goes on. But be sure your goals are things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.
