　　Self-reliance is vital to everybody in that we can not depend on others all the time.

　　Besides, it is also a sign of growing-up, which means that we can take the responsibilities forthe family and the society.

　　Then how can we become self-reliant?

　　Firstly, we should get out of the bad habit of being looked after by our parents.

　　Secondly, we should not ask for help from others easily when we are involved in some troublingsituation.

　　Moreover, self-confidence is a precondition of self-reliance, for only when we trust inourselves, we can be self-reliant.

　　"Trust thyself", so says American author and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in his famousessay "Self-reliance".

　　Self-reliance is important to everybody and is one of the key factors that make us successful inlife.
