Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

Everybody likes to feel that she or he is special. Sadly, many of us grow up believing that
we're not special at all. We wish that we could be more attractive or better at sports. We
wish we had more money or more beautiful clothes. Like the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, or the
Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz, we think we're not good enough just as we are. In the

77
darsenglizy.com
film, The Tin Man wishes he had a heart. The Scarecrow wishes that he had a brain, and the
Lion wants courage.
Eventually, each of them realizes that he already has what he wants. Nearly all parents
want us to be the best we can be. They occasionally attempt to encourage us to do better by
comparing us to others. They mean well, but the message we usually get is that we're not
good enough. We start to believe that the only way we can be special is by being better than
somebody else, but we are frequently disappointed. There will always be somebody out
there that is better than we are at something. There are a lot of people around who may not
be as intelligent as we are, but who are better at sports. Or they may not be as handsome,
but they have more money. It is unthinkable for us to be better than everybody else all the
time. Like the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion, we all need what we believe
will make us better people. Our parents often forget to tell us that we are special, that we are
good enough just as we are.
Either way, it's up to us to remind them sometimes that each of us, in our own way, is
special.
