英文小作文：

If we are to succeed, we must rely on ourselves and not rely on others. We must be brave enough to face challenges and take action to overcome them. At the same time, we must be aware of our own strengths and weaknesses, and use them to our advantage. Only then can we truly achieve our goals and become what we want to be. We must not let ourselves be at the mercy of others or at the cost of our own happiness and well-being. We must be brave enough to take responsibility for our own actions and decisions, and strive to be the best version of ourselves that we can be.
