Just Me
只做我自己
●Tom Krause
From the time I was little, I knew I was great
’cause the people would tell me, “You’ll make it—just wait.”
But they never did tell me how great I would be
if I ever played someone who was greater than me.
When I’m in the back yard, I’m king with the ball.
To swish all those baskets is no sweat at all.
But all of a sudden there’s a man in my face
who doesn’t seem to realize that I’m king of this place.
So the pressure gets to me; I rush with the ball.
My passes to teammates could go through the wall.
My jumpers not falling, my dribbles not sure.
My hand is not steady, my eye is not pure.
The fault is my teammates—they don’t understand.
The fault is my coaches—what a terrible plan.
The fault is the call by that blind referee .
But the fault is not mine; I’m the greatest, you see.
Then finally it hit me when I started to see
That the face in the mirror looked exactly like me.
It wasn’t my teammates who were dropping the ball,
and it wasn’t my coach shooting bricks at the wall.
That face in the mirror that was always so great
had some room for improvement instead of just hate.
So I stopped blaming others and I started to grow.
My play got much better and it started to show.
And all of my teammates didn’t seem quite so bad.
I learned to depend on the good friends I had.
Now I like myself better since I started to see
that I was lousy being great—I’m much better being me.

I am a native speaker from America. Hope this helps!
I am young and I am proud.
The ebullience of youth shines through me. My eyes are sparkling with happiness, my cheeks pink with excitement, and my smiles full of satisfaction. With youth, I can run around wildly; with youth, I can explore and experiment freely; with youth, I can be myself.
Time is the most precious of all things. And I happen to own a lot of time.
As a novice, I make mistakes. I correct them. And I learn to never to do that again. Youth gives me chances, youth grants me forgiveness.
I am young.Every morning I look into the mirror and I think to myself, if today is the last day of my life, how would I live it?
I would use all my mind and heart to absorb new knowledge. I would treat teachers with respect, parents with love, friends with care, and the needy with sympathy. I would live above and beyond myself.
Yet I have many of these "last days". I have over 20,000 days ahead of me. I can be as successful as I want to be, as long as I follow my heart.
I am young and I am proud.
This is a big world. Being a person in the world is my glorious.
We have to meet lots of options in the world, so we may lost ourselves.Sometimes we need some distructons release the bad mood.No matter how,by myself is a very important thing.
Our mind is made of two parts,one is the right decision and the other is the error decision. We own the ability to make a right decision.We must believe it,so by myself is very important.
Everyone dreams of successful, but if the hero never comes to you, if you need someone you're feeling blue, if you're away from love and you are alone, if you call friends and nobody you can find. You can run away but you can't hide.If you through the strom you can find be yourself is such easy.
Finally, When the night are getting cold and blue, When the days are getting hard for you, as far as you be yourself and confident in yourself you can find everything will become more and more beautiful!本回答被提问者采纳
