You may find that you can get less stress from this situation and feel more confide（自信）.Thinking like to be strong makes us feel strong, and that carries over to how we act in real life.Anyone who you like can give you power you need to get through difficult times, or tell you how to act in bad situations. Movie stars, famous painters, even our own parents -anyone can be our Batman.
