Self-images (自我印象) are our own mind's pictures of ourselves. These images include the way we look, the way we act, the way we talk and the way we think. When we find that believing in ourselves is a bit hard, it is time we build positive self-images and learn to have happy lives.

Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold of us. Unluckily, most of these images are more negative (消极的) than they should be. As a result, changing the way we think about ourselves is the key to changing our self-images and our whole world.

The best way to destroy (摧毁) a passive (消极的) self-image is to step back and decide to pay attention to our success. That is to make a list if we need to, but we should write down all of the great things we do every day. Don't allow doubts to happen to us.

It very well might be that we are experiencing negative self-images because we can't move past the weakness that we see in ourselves. Well, make a change of it as our primary task. If we think we're silly because we aren't good at maths, find someone to help us. If we think we're weak because we can't run a mile, get more practice. But remember what we think doesn't mean it's true.

The best way to get rid of (摆脱) a negative self-image is to realise that our images are far from the goals, and to actively make ourselves believe that we have positive personalities. Changing the way we think and working on those we need to improve will go a long way to create new positive self-images. When we can pat ourselves on the back, we'll know we're well on our way.

Someone says, "If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, have a long trip with your friends. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody."

Giving can feel great. And as we learn early, it's better to give than to receive. The more you give, the more you get happiness.

Follow these tips:

①Find your passion. It's not how much you give. It's how much love you put into giving. You might care about one cause more than others, and that's okay. Support the cause that feels right for you.

②Give your time. The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to the giver, than the gift of money. We don't all have the same amount of money, but we all have time.

③Give to groups with clear goals. Michael Norton, a professor at Harvard Business School, says that "If we tell the donors what we can do with their money and how their donations can help other people, they will get more happiness."

④Be active. Set aside time to serve your community. Think about your choices, and find the cause and type of service that best match your values.

In a bustling city park, an elderly woman named Anna sat alone on a bench, her eyes filled with sadness. The world seemed to pass her by, and she felt lost in her thoughts of a life that once was.

Every day after school, Lily would visit Anna in the park. They would talk, laugh, and share stories of their lives. Anna began to 5 these meetings, feeling a renewed sense of purpose and connection. Lily's simple act of kindness paid off, pulling Anna out of her hopeless situation.
