　　As we all know, our life is full of challenges as well as opportunities. Every one of us expects to be successful and deserve others’ respect. In my opinion, the key to success is that we should manage to make the most of what we’ve already had.
　　When I was a child, I am fond of making things by hand. At one time, I took part in a hand-made activity in our school. I wanted to make a model house as I usually did, but suddenly I found the materials that I had weren’t enough. Faced with such a situation, I really wanted to give up. However, after a second thought, I thought of an idea to divide some of the materials into small parts and I finally succeeded in making a special model plane. To my great joy, I was given the first prize because of my creativity.
　　After that, I understand whenever we face trouble, it is no use complaining. We should try our best to make use of what we have already had to solve problems.
