When I was in college,I was always very passionate(热情的)about music and I was proud to be a member of our band.However,I almost gave up because of my fear of playing solos(独奏).
 
One day two years ago my director informed me that he wanted me to be the featured soloist in a piece of music.Of course I was terrified,but he encouraged me that everything would be OK,and that he believed me and knew that I could do it.Up until four days before the concert,I could not make it through the solo.I would always seem to get discouraged before I played it.
 
I decided to ask my director for help thinking that he would tell me that I didn’t have to do it and that he was still proud of me.All he said was“You just have to believe yourself.”I didn’t think trying his advice would hurt,so I started the next morning differently.Instead of wondering how I could mess up,I imagined myself playing through my solo with confidence and I kept on telling myself that I could do it.
 
The strange thing was...it worked!After that day I played the solo without any mistake.When the big concert came,although I was a little nervous,I knew that I could do this.I didn’t know what was going to happen,but I realized that the only person that was holding me back from being my best,was myself.I believed myself.I thought things would go a little more differently than they had in the past.Of course,I played the solo wonderfully and I gained acclamation from all the audience.
 
Always do the thing that you fear the most,don’t get discouraged if you fail,and just keep on trying harder.
