  Knowing about yourself means not only that you find what you are good at and what you like,it also means discovering what you are not good at and what you don't like. Both help you to see your aim in life.

  Although most students would be unhappy if they found that they had failed an advanced math course,they have actually learned a great deal about themselves. They know they should not become engineers or physical scientist,and that they should not be good at accounting work. So failing can help a student to lead a much happier life he or she draws the right conclusion from the failing. They may then decide on their aim and choose the kind of work they would like to do.

  It is impossible to decide whether or not you like something until you have tried it. If you decide that you would like to play the violin,you need to take more than one lesson before you can know whether you have any interest or ability.

  It's not enough to want to be a violinist. You also have to like the hard and long training before you become one. If you would enjoy being a great violinist but hate the work,forget it.
