When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two . We can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing the challenge isn't worth the and call it quits. Although there are certainly when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most all that is needed is and communication.
When we are committed to something, it means that no matter how or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to it and work it through instead of running away from it. Communication is making a for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. you can say to a friend, "I got my feeling hurt," "You hurt my feelings," you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with the many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for they are: small hurdles you need to jump or on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is to get over, and hurt only to make us stronger. It is all part of growing up, it to everyone, and some day you will all of this and say, "Hard as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing."

Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustmentsto reality. The more quickly a person is able to make these adjustments, the more his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never . I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me—the to live—which I didn’t see, and they made me want to against blindness.
The hardest I had to learn was to believe in myself. I am not talking about simply the kind of that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: the confidence that I am, despite being imperfect, a real, person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and this confidence. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. “I can’t use this.” I said. “Take it with you,” he me, “and roll it around.” The words in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought : playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I a successful variation of baseball and I called it ground ball.
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to be clear about my .

come forward. Finally the they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your present
