某对外发行的英文报正在就中学生是否应该“自理、自立”进行讨论。请根据所给提示用英语写一篇100词左右的短文，题目自拟。

“依靠你自己”是大自然对每一个人所言。父母、师长和其他的人都能帮助我们，但是他们只能帮助我们自助，和帮助我们成人。

历史上有许多名人，他们中许多人儿时贫穷，没有人依靠以接受教育，但他们下定决心求得知识，最终功成名就。

想一想我们周围的那些自我成材的人，我们都能认识到依靠自我的重要性。尽管他们行业不同，他们共同之处在于他们对事业成功的决心以及他们依靠自己诚实劳动的精神。一个人只依靠自己，才能有所成就。

参考词汇：career——行业；self-mademen——自我成材的人

Depend on Yourself

“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to everyone。 Parents， teachers and others can all help us， but they only help us to help ourselves and make men of us。

There have been many great men in history。 Though many of them were very poor in their childhood with no one to depend on for an education， they set to work with all their determination to gain knowledge。 Finally they worked their own way up to fame。

Thinking of all those self-made men around us， we are well aware of the importance of depending on oneself。 What they have in common， in spite of the differences in their fields， is their determination to succeed in their careers and the spirit to depend on their own honest and earnest efforts。 In fact， no one will achieve anything unless he depends on himself。
