Challenge yourself

　　A famous saying goes, "Challenge yourself with something you know you could never do, and what you'll find is that you can overcome anything", which means that by attempting something really difficult and outside of your comfort zone, you will tap into your potentials and discover how strong you really are. I find no better example than my English learning experience. Before college, I was quite good at English reading and writing, but my oral English is was rather disappointing. What's worse, I was so shy that I even seldom spoke in public. I thought I could never speak fluent English. However, my fondness of English encouraged me to open my mouth. Constantly, I challenged myself to make English speeches in class and practiced speaking with foreign teachers. Two years later, I made great strides in oral English and could speak English with foreigners freely. You never know how potential you are until you challenge yourself. Therefore, I think there are many things I can try to challenge myself daily to better myself, such as getting up early each day and learning more English words, talking to one stranger each day, ditching one bad habit in a month.
