Who can help you? Maybe you think your parents, teachers or others can help you. But in fact, all these people only help you to help yourself.
Many great men succeeded in history. They had few people to help them. They could not get good education, either. But they tried their best to learn and never gave up. One famous teacher in England once told his students, "I cannot make you great men, but I can help you make men of yourselves."
However, some young people do nothing and they depend on others. If these young people can see their shortcomings (不足) and change their ways, they can be successful. They are nothing now, and will be nothing in the future, unless they take the advice of their parents and teachers, and most importantly, depend on themselves.
